The low-cal diet
In a nutshell, low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you want to lose weight, it is important to injest less calories than you need. Definition of a calorie? A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. 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 a meal contains more calories, then it will turn into more energy to use when your body digests it. Examples of low calorie foods include boiled potatoes, watercress, watermelon, low fat ham, and bamboo shoots. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, leeks and spring onions) The alliaceae family of foods is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is as yet, not enough scientific evidence published, allyl sulfides are also believed to reduce the symptoms of blood circulation, high blood pressure and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your diet. |
