Dieting means eating food in a controlled manner. This means that in case of weight loss you have to eat food which has low fat content and high protein value. In some diet control programs, every participating individual is allowed to eat anything but only in limited amount. Low calorie food like fruits and fish are preferred over high calorie food like chocolate which can increase fat. You must understand that even if you are dieting, you should take enough calories that are needed to maintain the normal day to day functioning of the body. If your calorie intake is lower than that, your body actually do not burn extra fat at all, but saves it for later stages.

Increase in weight not only affects your physical health but also can sometime result in psychological problems as well.
