The low-cal diet
In short, a low calorie weight loss regime says that in order to get rid of some fat, the most important step is to consume fewer calories than you need for exercise. So what is a calorie? A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. The calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If a meal has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body digests it. Low calorie foods include celery, mushrooms, water melon, lean ham, and eggs. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it allows fat reduction whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like pork and eggs. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, diet system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes pickled shallots, leeks and welsh onion) The onion and garlic family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is very little definitive proof at hand, allyl sulphides are also thought to reduce symptoms with colds, sterilization and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet. |
