pls hit thnx....
For people who've tried a low-calorie diet in the past, the thought of cutting calories each day probably brings back bad memories.
Most diets involve reducing calories in some way or another: Some introduce foods that fill you up faster but contain fewer calories, such as fruits and vegetables in place of processed foods. Other diets restrict your options, and eating the same food sources becomes repetitive and less interesting, so you consume fewer items.
Still other diets combine both strategies, such as diets recommending a low-calorie food such as a tomato, or a special shake that you make, for most or all of your meals.
But new research shows that low-calorie diets can help with surprisingly more than your weight.
What Is a Low-Calorie Diet?
A low-calorie diet is one that restricts your intake to 1,200 to 1,600 calories per day for men, and 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day for women. Some people go on a very low-calorie diet for rapid weight loss, often consuming only 800 calories a day. This type of diet usually includes special foods such as shakes, bars, or soups to replace meals and for added vitamins. Very low-calorie diets can help a person achieve weight loss of up to 3 to 5 pounds per week.
For weight loss, most people should consider a low-calorie diet rather than a very low-calorie diet. Less extreme diets are easier to follow, they interrupt normal daily activities less, and are less risky if you're over 50 or have other health problems. In addition, gallstones have been reported in people who go on very low-calorie diets.
Keep in mind that most diets only work when you make healthy lifestyle choices at the same time, including increasing daily exercise and reducing your sedentary time throughout the day.

Many of the world’s poor consume very few calories. Because calories are not just consumption, but also an input into production, this low consumption has the potential to dampen labor productivity and impede decision-making. Low caloric intake may therefore play a key role in the productive capacity of the world’s poorest and the firms which hire them. Economic theory in this area is extensive. However, given the inherent challenges posed by the endogeneity of caloric intake and the measurement of productivity, empirical work is less well-developed. The main goal of our research is therefore to generate rigorous causal evidence regarding the impact of low caloric intake on productivity, cognition, and decision-making.
