Dieting and slimming are both approaches to weight management, but they have some key differences.
Dieting typically involves a strict and often restrictive approach to food intake, with a focus on reducing overall calories and/or eliminating certain food groups.
The goal is often to lose weight quickly, but it can be difficult to sustain this type of restrictive eating pattern in the long term.
In contrast, slimming tends to focus on making gradual and sustainable lifestyle changes to achieve a healthy weight.
This approach emphasizes a balanced and varied diet, regular physical activity, and building healthy habits over time. The goal is not just to lose weight, but to improve overall health and well-being.
