Caloric Restriction: You will lose weight and live longer if you practice caloric restriction not only for weight loss but as a healthy lifestyle practice. You do not need a diet that restricts your bodies access to vital nutrients like complete proteins, calcium, iron and Vitamin B12 not found in plants. I suggest you adopt a delicious nutritious diet like the Mediterranean diet and decrease your caloric intake.
