Is a very restrictive diet really good for your health?
The short answer: no, not in the long term.

A diet that is too restrictive—whether in calories, food groups, or nutrients—can lead to:

• chronic fatigue,

• nutritional deficiencies,

• a slowdown in metabolism,

• hormonal disorders,

• and even food compulsions.

🧠 And let's not forget the mental impact: anxiety, frustration, and sometimes an unhealthy relationship with food.

Yes, you can lose weight quickly. But at what cost?
The body is intelligent. Depriving it too much sends it a survival message: it will store more and burn less.

✅ The best "diet" is one that you can maintain over the long term, that respects your body and your rhythm.

💡 It’s better to adopt healthy habits: eat a variety of foods, exercise regularly… and above all, listen to your body!
