The United States was able to play a secondary, but significant, role in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion because of the large number of American ships and troops deployed in the Philippines as a result of the U.S. conquest of the islands during the Spanish American War (1898) and the subsequent Philippine-American War.
When you're on a low-calorie diet, you usually get between 800 and 1,500 calories a day. For some people, an alternative for short-term weight loss is a very low-calorie diet. Many very low-calorie diets are commercially-made formulas of 800 calories or fewer that replace all the food you usually eat.
In this low-calorie diet plan, dieters are allowed to take a total of 1000 calories of food per day to lose weight quickly in a short span of time. The rationale behind the 1000 calorie diet plan is that the drastic reduction of caloric intake results in weight loss, with little or no physical activity. The 1000 calorie plan generates energy shortage of 500 to 1000 calories and helps to burn approximately 8% of fat.
