By a weekly low calorie diet, we hear a controlled diet who makes us losing weight because it provides nutrition with a certain number of calories, less than those that the body uses to perform all its physiological functions. In order to burn excess calories and therefore to ensure that the diet can be fully effective, you must practice moderate physical activity: you do not necessarily need to practice only one sport, even walking briskly, or the stairs are a good way to increase the calories we burn and therefore to make the body more toned and drier.
In particular, there are therefore very few foods to be excluded from the diet entirely. The hierarchical scale of preferred foods is as follows: water, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, spices, dairy products and milk, olive oil, fish, meat and sweets.
