Diet and Calories
Alternative names:
calories and diet
Side effects:
- Inappropriate dieting (fad dieting) can lead to rebound weight gain.
- Altered body image can lead to anorexia nervosa or bulimia.
- Diets that are excessively low in calories are considered dangerous and do not result in healthful weight loss. A more desirable method of weight reduction is one that is moderate in calories and that encourages routine exercise.
- Children and young adults should not limit calories below the Recommended Daily Allowance because they require a certain amount of calories for growth and development. Better eating habits for the entire family often accomplish the caloric decrease that is required for a child or young adult to reach a desirable weight.
