Restricting calories and making sure you’re burning more than you’re eating is the most obvious way to lose weight. Apparently, a calorie-restrictive diet can not only help you lose weight but also have significant health benefits.
A new study published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology showed that people on the calorie-restriction diet managed to lose weight and improve health at the same time.
The lead author, Dr. William E. Kraus, says that “Cutting 300 calories is very doable. The message from this paper is: Anything is better than what we’re doing now. Even more modest caloric restriction may have benefits.”
Calorie-restriction can be combined with intermittent fasting or a Mediterranean diet for better, long-lasting results.
