Reduced calorie diets are what most people mean when they say "low calorie." Reduced calorie diets involve lowering your overall caloric intake based upon your normal daily requirements. For example, if you normally require 2,000 calories per day, and you reduce your caloric intake to 1,500, you save 500 calories per day. The result is a one pound loss per week as the body consumes body fat to replace the missing calories. Adding 500 calories worth of calorie-burning exercise to your routine results in an additional one pound per week of lost fat.
In order to lose weight, you must take in fewer calories than you burn off each day.If your goal is to lose weight and you do not see changes just with increased physical activity, then reducing portions and servings may help, while still using the pyramid as a guide.
