For many years now, the stress of everyday life has disrupted our relationship with food. More and more people are eating fast, ready meals, skipping breakfast and making a big meal at dinner.

The low-calorie diet

It is not a diet strictly speaking but a type of diet. Weight Watchers, Natman,intermittent fasting, many diets fall into this category.

The low-calorie diet therefore involves starting by taking goodfood hygiene. Then, in a second step, tovery gradually reduce food intake. This decrease in intake must be monitored so as not to lead to malnutrition. This is especially the case when the desired weight loss is significant.

Who is it for?

The low-calorie diet can be applied by anyone who wantsto lose weight. When the loss is significant, however, it may be worthwhile to seek the advice of a nutritionist or doctor.

For calorie restriction to be sustainable, the diet must be diversified, balanced and sufficient. Indeed, if the diet is too strict, the person will abandon it more quickly. In addition, after calorie deprivation, the resumption of normal diet will often lead to weight gain greater than loss. It is therefore important not to feel lacking and sometimes allow yourself a pleasure. The low-calorie diet is effective if it combines pleasure and needs. To avoid gaining weight afterwards, you will simply have to watch your diet.

Advantages and disadvantages

The benefits of a low-calorie diet are therefore gradualweight loss. It also offers the possibility for the person and for the body to adapt gradually so as not to feel the lack. There is also the diversity of the diet and especially the prohibition of guilt. Calorie intake is calculated over a week. Thus, if there is an excess one day (birthday, Christmas or simply special desire), the next day can rebalance the balance.
In our countries of plenty, food hygiene can be difficult to establish and maintain with all the temptations around. The disadvantages of this diet are, in our current society, to avoid fast food and other ready-madedishes whose recipes encourage to eat more. Frying (fries, donuts, croquettes are just examples), sugary drinks, carbonated, alcohol, dishes in sauce are very present. However, they are part of what can be called bad eating habits. They should not be banned, but they often make up for a day or more. Therefore, they prevent having a balanced diet at the same time as a low caloric intake.
