slimdown
Deliberate mass reduction
A slimdown is a reduction in size or weight, whether of a body, organization, or budget.
The term often appears in contexts of intentional trimming: After the corporate slimdown, three departments merged into one.
For weight loss, it suggests a deliberate effort: Her summer slimdown involved cutting carbs and daily walks.
