Low calorie diet

In short, the low-cal diet states that if you plan to become thinner, then you have to consume less calories than you use.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The '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 gives you more energy when your body burns it.

Low-cal food types include cabbage, cabbage, apricot, canadian bacon, and low-fat cheese.


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index weight loss program is based on the gi index, a list of food types and an indicator of the ease that the carbohydrates of the food type gets transformed to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to consume less food without craving snacks all the time.
It is also beneficial for diabetics, as the low GI foods are beneficial in minimizing increases in blood glucose amount.


The brassica family, Healthy superfoods that also help with your Your diet
(examples: Kohlrabi, Green beans, Mizuna and Radishes)
These cruciferous vegetables are packed with vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (including potassium and selenium), isothiocyanates, antioxidents and indole-3-carbinol.

Over and above their many other beneficial effects, the vitamins and nutrients in these are believed by experts to reduce the risk of cancer.

"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
