The low-cal diet

In simple terms, the low-cal diet is based on the fact that if you plan to reduce weight, it is important to eat less calories than you use.

The calorie defined?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. The 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food type contains more calories, then it will will give you more energy when consumed.

Low-cal food types include celery, swede, grapefruit, canadian bacon, and white eggs.


Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)

The alliaceae family is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is as yet, not enough definitive proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought to aid in colds, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so you should add them to your weight loss program.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
