Calorie restriction (caloric restriction or energy restriction) is a
dietary regimen that reduces food intake without incurring
malnutrition. "Reduce" can be defined relative to the subject's
previous intake before intentionally restricting food or beverage
consumption, or relative to an average person of similar body
type.Calorie restriction is typically adopted intentionally to reduce
body weight. It is recommended as a possible regimen by US dietary
guidelines and scientific societies for body weight control. Mild
calorie restriction may be beneficial for pregnant women to reduce
weight gain (without weight loss), and reduce perinatal risks for both
the mother and child. For overweight or obese individuals, long-term
health improvement may result from calorie restriction, although a
gradual weight regain may occur.Caloric intake control, and reduction
for overweight individuals, is recommended by US dietary guidelines
and science-based societies. Calorie restriction is recommended for
people with diabetes and prediabetes, in combination with physical
exercise and a weight loss goal of 5-15% for diabetes and 7-10% for
prediabetes to prevent progression to diabetes. and mild calorie
restriction may be beneficial for pregnant women to reduce weight gain
(without weight loss) and reduce perinatal risks for both the mother
and child. For overweight or obese individuals, calorie restriction
may improve health through weight loss, although a gradual weight
regain of 1â€"2 kg (2.2â€"4.4 lb) per year may occur.The term "calorie
restriction" as used in the study of aging refers to dietary regimens
that reduce calorie intake without incurring malnutrition. If a
restricted diet is not designed to include essential nutrients,
malnutrition may result in serious deleterious effects, as shown in
the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. This study was conducted during
World War II on a group of lean men, who restricted their calorie
intake by 45% for 6 months and composed roughly 77% of their diet with
carbohydrates. As expected, this malnutrition resulted in metabolic
adaptations, such as decreased body fat, improved lipid profile, and
decreased resting heart rate. The experiment also caused negative
effects, such as anemia, edema, muscle wasting, weakness, dizziness,
irritability, lethargy, and depression.
