Food is a source of energy and
has fattening tendencies, but some foodstuffs
are more fattening than others. For example,
fats are more than carbohydrates and proteins.
Energy and fattening potential of food is
measured in calories. Foodstuffs vary in caloric
content due to two reasons: Firstly because of
the amount of fats, proteins and carbohydrates
content. Secondly, due to the amount of water
content, which has zero calories. Even the
energy we spend working or exercising is
measured in calories. The basis of a "calorie
control" diet is restricting the calorie intake,
while using more number of calories. This
results in the body deriving more stores to fill
the energy gap and you begin to lose
weight.
