What's an epergne, you ask? It's a wildly decorative centerpiece that could hold flowers or food, but its main purpose is to serve as an eye-catching delight in the middle of a table.
Instead, Bhat suggests “opting for balanced, sustainable dietary changes that meet nutritional needs and consider individual psychological impacts may help minimize potential negative effects on mood.”There are some limitations to consider when looking at the results. The design of the study can only show associations, not definitively say that calorie restriction causes an increase in depression symptoms, Bhat said.
In addition, the study surveyed people on their dietary patterns, which leaves room for error, said Dr. Kary Woodruff, associate professor (lecturer) and director of the nutrition and integrated physiology department’s coordinated master’s program at the University of Utah. She was not involved in the research.“I could think I am on a calorie-restricted diet when in fact I may be in a calorie surplus — there’s no way to verify participant’s calorie-restriction status,” Woodruff said.The study is large and controlled for other factors that could drive the associations found, but its findings contrast with those of previous studies around the topic of calorie restriction and depression, Bhat said.
Other studies have found that calorie-restricted diets reduce depressive symptoms, said Dr. Johanna Keeler, postdoctoral researcher at King’s College London. Keeler was not involved in the study.One difference is that previous research, including a
that Keeler coauthored, studied restrictive diets supervised by medical professional.
“Therefore, these findings might reflect that unsupervised dieting, which can produce nutritional deficiencies, might not be good for depressive symptoms,” Keeler said.Renée Zellweger stepped out for the 2025 Gotham Television Awards in N.Y.C. in a black off-the-shoulder gown.
