"For example, the daily calorie requirement for normal people is in 2000 calories one day, so if we want to lose weight, it means we have to reduce the calorie intake, so (cut) about 500 calories per day," said Dewi, quoted from ANTARA, Tuesday, September 20.

Furthermore, Dewi said that this type of diet requires the principle of a healthy diet, namely paying attention to the type of food and the amount. The foods consumed must also include protein, vegetables, fruits and limiting fast food consumption.

Foods that can make you full for longer times such as oatmeals, sweet potatoes, potatoes, talas and cassava are also recommended to be consumed. Daily meal schedules are also important to pay attention to. In this case, it does not mean that people don't need breakfast, don't have dinner and don't have lunch.

The calorie deficit diet will not work if it is not balanced with physical activity and behavioral changes.

"Of course it must be followed by balance or patterns of our activities. So if our daily activities are only mostly sitting or lying down, then the calorie intake must also be reduced. But if there are many activities, we are diligent in sports, then the calorie intake can be 2000 or even more," said Dewi.

Improper diet can cause the risk of complications, malnutrition until weight increases again after the diet program is completed. Because, when there is a lack of carbohydrates, the body will ask for more.
