As soon as you start with starving yourself your body goes into a protection state. In fact if you lose to much fat each week (2 kilos ore more) you can end up losing muscle mass. As you may now you need muscles to burn fat. Don't try out new calorie diets they online hurt your metabolic rate. If you've ever wanted to know how to prepare low-calorie food, the following article provides a few sample meals. But before we start, let us examine some of the better alternatives available when selecting ingredients.

1. Prepackaged, frozen meals - Weight Watchers has "Smart Ones," there's Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, and now the South Beach diet. I buy whatever looks good and/or is on sale, not because I am following a particular diet. These foods are healthy and offer variety.

2. Most guys add milk to their oatmeal, but using water or skim milk instead can be even healthier. Oatmeal is easy to digest and jump-starts the system like no other breakfast. It's also a great pre-workout food since it is light on the stomach and contains plenty of slow carbs.

3. The tacos at Baja Fresh are a decent option. The chicken and shrimp tacos have just 200 and 210 calories respectively. The steak tacos have a higher percentage of fat, but at 230 calories (70 from fat), you could do far worse. Just say no to the complimentary chips (210 calories).

4. When it comes to drinks water is the only thing you need. Water doesn't contain any calories at all. A few cups of coffee a day is ok too but don't add sugar to it. Tip! Next time you go to your supermarket be sure to read to read the food labels very carefully. This is one of the best natural weight loss.

5. Canned soup - Read the labels. Companies usually list more than one serving per can, so the calories and sodium are more that what you see at first glance. Healthy soups are costlier but the cans are larger and they're chunkier. Regular soup is fine as long as you keep track of calories, fat calories, and sodium.

6. If finding the time to make breakfast is just as hard as choosing the right ingredients to make a low-calorie meal, then breakfast shakes are the answer. All it takes is a blender, 1 cup of 2% milk, a small banana, and a bit of juice for flavor. There is no substitute for milk when making milkshakes (hence the name), but such breakfasts are still healthier than pancakes with syrup and butter.

7. The charbroiled chicken and the shrimp salads are both low calories, though high in sodium (1210mg and 1110mg respectively). The pork carnitas won't bust your gut either at 370 calories, though the sodium count is even higher. Just opt for the fat free salsa verde dressing; the ranch dressing and olive oil vinaigrette are high in calories and fat.

8. Reduced calorie crackers & chips - These are good snacks that satisfy a need for crunchy foods. By keeping this craving under control, you'll reduce the chance of binging later on. Yes, you need to count the crackers and chips if you're counting calories. My favorites are reduced-calorie Cheese Nips, Wheat Thins and fat-free Pringles.

9. Salads - It is possible to get a salad for under 350 calories. Order chicken, fajita vegetables, tomato salsa, and lettuce. Two ounces of the vinaigrette will add 282 calories to the meal. (In comparison, the chicken only has 219 calories.) Avoid the  tortilla, avoid the sour cream, guacamole and cheese.
