The main key to lose fat is to make sure that your body burns more calories then it consumes. I would like to help you out in your fat burning process by giving you a list of low calorie foods. Before I give you the list of low calorie foods I will explain to you what calories are. Most people talk a lot about calories but in fact they don’t have a clue what they are.
Definition of a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. A food calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. The more calories that the food contains the more energy it will be released when it is burned.

When it comes to drinks water is the only thing you need. Water doesn’t contain any calories at all. A few cups of coffee a day is ok too but don’t add sugar to it. Tip! Next time you go to your supermarket be sure to read to read the food labels very carefully.
Low calorie diet’s don’t work.
As soon as you start with starving yourself your body goes into a protection state. In fact if you lose to much fat each week (2 kilos ore more) you can end up losing muscle mass. As you may now you need muscles to burn fat. Don’t try out new calorie diets they online hurt your metabolic rate.
I hope you have learned something from this free list of low calorie foods article. Keep in mind that fat/weight loss is a very deep subject. Stick with it!
If you need to splurge now and then keep in mind that many companies are making 100 calorie snacks. I know I sure need a tiny cupcake from hostess so that I can stick to my diet.
