A low-calorie diet is a structured eating plan that restricts daily caloric intake, commonly for weight loss. Following a low-calorie diet typically means consuming around 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day, which creates a calorie deficit that can lead to weight loss. A low-calorie diet can be effective, but it requires a lot of discipline to work and be safe.

RECRUITINGBioelectrical impedance analysis
was used to estimate body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle in both groups A and B
Time frame: 6 weeks
skin fold caliper
was used to measure the waist circumference and amount of subcutaneous fat when the fold for all females in both groups (A\&B)
