In an interview with HT Lifestyle. Dr Padmini BV, PhD, MS, CDE, HOD, clinical dietitian, department of nutrition and dietetics, Apollo hospital, Sheshadripuram, Bangalore, explains the common factors that could be behind this change.
Dr Padmini highlighted that long-term eating less may lead to nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, and chronic disease conditions. Balancing between low calorie intake and energy expenditure would give better weight reduction results. Eating food in less quantity depends upon the quality and type of food consumption.
