EATS SPARINGLY can be summarized as a lifestyle choice that involves limiting food intake and abstaining from eating for certain periods of time. Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated and supervised fashion to decrease, maintain, or increase body weight, while fasting is the voluntary abstinence from food and drink for a period of time. Both dieting and fasting are forms of EATS SPARINGLY, which is a way of living that encourages mindful eating and conscious consumption.
