Low Calorie Diets and the
Idea of Restricting Calories
•
What exactly is a low-calorie diet?
 You are following a low calorie diet when the food you eat in a day
provides you with anything between 1,200 and 1,600 calories. Many
people lower their calorie intake even further to trigger weight loss.
They usually opt for special foods, such as bars, shakes, or soups
that replace their original meals. What you should keep in mind is
that following a low calorie diet is a good idea, but sticking to a very
low calorie diet can lead to several health complications.
•
Is it a right option to consider?
 You may be interested in following a low calorie diet, but you should
always talk to your healthcare provider first. When you are
overweight, cutting too many calories too quickly can lead to many
health problems. Before you even go further with the idea, you
should ensure that your BMI is high enough for a low-calorie diet.
For people with healthy body weight, it is not a good idea to go on a
low-calorie diet if their BMR is already below 22.
