Questions And Answers - Diet And Weight Loss
What is a low calorie diet?
A low calorie diet can be the simplest form of dieting, doing nothing more than reducing the number of calories you consume. You could diet on cheesecake, and lose weight! But beware the pitfalls.
A diet based on simply eating smaller amounts of the same highly processed, calorie-rich foods, typically results in hunger, poor nutrition, and only temporary weight loss. Eating tiny portions of high calorie, processed foods does not satisfy our hunger. We go off our diets and regain the weight we lost. When we do this again and again, it is harmful to both our health and our self-esteem.
By eating foods that are higher in nutrients and fiber and lower in calories, you become satisfied eating fewer calories. You can lose weight even though you are eating more food.
Counting Calories Alone
The caloric value of any diet is probably the most important factor for weight loss. The problem with counting calories alone, however, is that while it doesn't eliminate any particular foods, it also doesn't ensure that you are eating a healthy diet. This is why we also provide data on protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and sodium.
It is the sum of calories contributed by the three macronutrients, protein, fat and carbohydrates, that provide the total number of calories in a food. You can see how many calories each gram of these macronutrients provides in How many calories are there in a gram of food?
