If you are new to dieting, you may have already decided on the things you need to give up on, but have you zeroed in on the foods that you need to replace them with? Many people confuse dieting for starving, a notion that could actually do more harm than good to your weight-loss goals. If you starve yourself, you will feel hungry sooner or later, and when you cannot curb your hunger any longer -you will start bingeing without control, which could result in calorie overload.

Calorie is a unity of energy. If there are excess calories, they get stored as fat as your body really does not need to burn those calories for energy. Therefore, in a calorie-restricted diet, you only consume calories that are required by your body. You also need to be very wise with your choices; for instance, there could be many low-cal options around you, but you also must evaluate what else they bring to the table, in terms of nutritional value.
