Eating 300 calories less a day reduces CVD risk
A moderate reduction in food intake leads to a big reduction in risk factors, say Sydney researchers
Reducing food intake by just under 300 calories each day can substantially reduce the risk of cardiovascular death or morbidity, according to a landmark study.
The study of around 200 healthy young and middle-aged adults compared the cardiometabolic risk factors of those who ate as they wanted compared with those who cut back calories by a moderate 12% (from 2467 to 2170 kcal).
