A low calorie diet can be the simplest form of dieting, it is essentially nothing more than reducing the number of calories you consume. However, for long term success it's important to choose high quality foods rather than simply restricting yourself to a certain number of calories regardless of the food.
A diet based on eating smaller amounts of the highly processed, calorie-rich foods typically results in hunger, poor nutrition, and only temporary weight loss. Processed foods are often referred to as "empty calories" because they have little nutritional value and fiber, they don't keep your blood sugar even.
Eating foods that are higher in nutrients and fiber and lower in calories, allows you to eat more food and still lose weight. 100 calories of fruit will satisfy much longer than 100 calories of potato chips.
The problem with counting calories alone, is that while it doesn't eliminate any particular foods, it also doesn't ensure that you are eating a healthy diet.
MealMixer Dieter helps you track nutrients, as well as fiber, calcium, and sodium so that while you are reducing your calories you aren't reducing your health.
