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. 3, record 2, English, - calorie%2Drestricted%20diet

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. 1, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20de%20restriction%20calorique
