Low calorie diet
Put simply, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you are going to lose weight, it is essential to take in fewer calories than you need. Definition of a calorie? The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If your meal has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body converts it. Examples of low calorie foods include celery, cucumbers, watermelon, low fat hot-dogs, and skimmed milk. The Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like beef and butter. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. Foods containing carotenes (includes parsley, mangos and sweet potatoes) These plants are rich in carotenes believed be a key nutrient in helping stop cancer, particularly cancers of the esophagus. Many also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program. |
