#### LOW CALORIE FOODS..####

Most people assume that a low calorie diet will be 
advantageous for burning body fat. A low calorie 
diet often results to low energy intake. And since
burning body fat is really all about expanding calories
, a low calorie diet really is not the best route to take.
You have to have energy in order to burn fat away.
Permanent fat loss can be achieved  more effectively 
by having a  healthy lifestyle modifications. Only when
you are dedicated to changing your lifestyle can you 
escape the heavy probabilities associated with diet relapse. 
A low calorie diet will not help you to lose weight initially;
it will. Especially at first, you may lose quite a lot of weight rapidly. The problem with that is that you cause your brain 
to do the following,    
decrease your metabolism and  making it difficult to 
burn body fat, Set high, fat-burning goals, put  body
in a starvation mode, and eventually, regain the weight
that you have lost…
If one  desire to lower their levels of body fat then you 
have to do more than starve yourself. Fat must be burned 
away, not starved away, When it comes to burning body fat,
it requires a   combination of eating healthfully, and 
increasing your metabolic rate with regular physical 
activity and the physical activity can come in any form. 
Even going out and taking an extra 30 minute walk each,
day.  Foods that help to increase metabolism…are 
  •  Fresh vegetables;
  • Beans, legumes, nuts, seeds and sprouts;
  • Whole grain foods like rice, pasta and bread;
  • Fresh fruits;
  • Omega-3 rich foods like salmon, tuna, olive oil and avocados to name a few;
  • Low fat or non-fat dairy products;
  • Very lean cuts of meat if any and      
 Drink lots of fresh water every day.
Today, 'Low-calorie foods' is the buzzword for all the
people suffering from obesity.
 Everyone is eager to go on a 'weight loss diets'. So 
what is a Calorie, it  is a measure of the amount
of energy present in a food. This calorific energy is
