What does the word diet mean to you? Atkins? 3 Day Diet? Cabbage Soup Diet? The ‘starve yourself until you’re too weak to walk diet’? Perhaps something slightly different, but here’s betting it’s somewhere along these lines.

Not all fats are the same. Body fat comes in a few guises, some of which you need to well, stay healthy. An understanding of these fats helps you to understand how you can go about burning off excess flab, aka body fat.

A rather vague question to answer, if you are looking to lose weight then yes, but ‘low calorie’ mean different things for different people. Your weight, age, height, metabolism etc., all play a part. The simple equation of training more eating less, works. It might be the matter that you are using to achieve this however.
