Low calorie diet
Put simply, low calorie diet says that in order to achieve weight loss, it is essential to injest less calories than you use. What is a calorie? A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a food has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy when it is eaten. Low calorie foods include watercress, swede, water melon, lean ham, and white eggs.

The theory is that slow release types of food (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can consume fewer food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also very useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are beneficial in preventing surges in blood sugar secretion.
