MANILA, Philippines — Recently, actress Angel Locsin revealed that she has started taking her first step toward a healthier lifestyle through a “chef-curated and nutritionist-approved” 800-calorie diet program. Such “very-low-calorie” diets, however, might lead to a lack of micronutrients that can cause fatigue, weakened bones, nutrient deficiency, lower metabolism and a compromised immune system, according to a nutritionist and dietician. Thus, doctor Jeremiah Torrico suggested that before cutting anything out for diet, people should consult a doctor first to ensure that their overall health won't harm and to avoid the high risk of gaining the weight back. — Video by Ritz L.
