DIET is an integral part of Naturopathy. It plays a major role in restoring the health by supplying the needed nutrients and recuperating the organs. Dieting has been advised from time immemorial and the science of Ayurveda has emphasized the importance of diet restrictions under the nomenclature "Pathya" in curing the ailments. The sages even before the advent of doctors and medical science advocated fasting and dieting.

Whether you decide to do so for aesthetic or medical reasons, when you start a diet you should place yourself in the hands of a nutritionist who will prescribe the most appropriate diet for you, depending on your level of activity, age, the amount of weight you aim to lose, etc. (this holds particularly true if the diet is meant to last for more than 2 weeks).

Cutting Calories
In theory, losing weight is simply a matter of consuming fewer calories than you burn each day. Shortcuts can be tempting: Highly publicized diets promising rapid weight loss are popular, but unfortunately are seldom advisable. It is fundamental to follow a diet that is balanced as well as being low in calories, and remember that no food - or any combination of foods - helps to burn fat. The only non-fattening foods are those that stay on your plate!

New Eating Habits
Dietary success doesn't reside just in lost poundage: it’s essential to modify your eating habits permanently. Any worthwhile diet will teach you how to eat and can be adapted to your tastes. In other words, if you resume old eating habits once the diet has ended, you’re wasting your time. The pounds are sure to come back. On the other hand, if the change in your dietary habits is accompanied by some kind of sports activity, the odds are in your favor. Sport alone doesn’t take weight off - but it helps.

Warning
Beware of miraculous, super-strict or continuous diets followed without the necessary medical supervision. They may cause serious problems to your health and, in extreme cases, can prove fatal.
