The low-cal diet
In a nutshell, the low calorie diet states that if you plan to achieve weight loss, it is important to eat fewer calories than you need for exercise. What is a calorie? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. The food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If something contains more calories, then it will turn into more energy when it is converted. Foods low in calories include broccoli, green pepper, apricots, low fat ham, and bamboo shoots. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, onions and green onion) The onion, leek and garlic family 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 too little real proof present, allyl sulfides are also thought to help with colds, high blood pressure and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so you should add them to your diet system. |
