Calorie restriction is what most people call "dieting," and it is a commonly used weight loss method. Some people also believe that a long-term commitment to a nutrient-dense, calorie-restricted diet slows down the aging process and leads to a longer, healthier life. Long-term calorie restriction has been shown to lengthen the life and improve the health of laboratory animals, but there is not enough evidence to say whether a similar diet can extend the lives of humans.

CONT

Le régime de restriction calorique doit être institué après une enquête alimentaire soigneuse. Les régimes standards, de 1 200 à 1 500 kcal/jour, compatible avec la poursuite des activités socioprofessionnelles sont bien tolérés mais n'apportent qu'une baisse de poids lente ou modérée.

OBS

Les termes «régime» et «diète» sont souvent en concurrence, toutefois le terme «régime» tend à supplanter le terme «diète» dans l'usage.
