Study Recommends Slashing
300 Daily Calories Off Your Diet For the study, 218 people were split
into two groups, with one continuing
their normal eating habits. But for two years, the other was assigned to get rid of 25% of their daily calorie intake. In the end, the study found that the dieting group had lower levels of cholesterol and blood pressure. The dieting group only reached
half of the 25% requirement. But on a daily basis, they were still able
to shave 300 calories off their diet. In terms of weight, the dieters also
dropped an average of 16 pounds
over a two-year period. The study's lead author,
Duke University of Medicine's
Dr. William E. Kraus, says eliminating
300 calories each day is very doable. One of the things he says to do is
stop eating desserts
like ice cream after dinner. Dr. William E. Kraus, via 'TODAY'
