Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated fashion to achieve or maintain a controlled weight. In most cases dieting is used in combination with physical exercise to lose weight in those who are overweight or obese. Some athletes, however, follow a diet to gain weight (usually in the form of muscle). Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight.
Diets to promote weight loss are generally divided into four categories: low-fat, low-carbohydrate, low-calorie, and very low calorie. A meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials found no difference between the main diet types (low calorie, low carbohydrate, and low fat), with a 2–4 kilogram weight loss in all studies. At two years, all calorie-reduced diet types cause equal weight loss irrespective of the macronutrients emphasized.
We have an free recipe library where you are able to view our recipes. We also added categories so it is easy to filter our recipes. The main goal of the recipes section is that you combine recipes with diets, this way we will stimulate you to keep on dieting and eat healthy and varied. We will add one recipe to our library every day, so keep on coming back and view our daily growing recipe library.
