dieting
Watching one's intake
Dieting is the practice of restricting food intake to lose weight or achieve a health goal.
The word often implies temporary or cyclical behavior rather than permanent change: She's been dieting since January, yo-yo dieting.
Diet as a verb means the same thing: I'm dieting for the wedding.
