It’s called ” Happy metabolism with the molecular method “, and it’s the new book on the molecular method as a way to lose weight, regain health and eat in a conscious way written by Dr. Pier Luigi Rossi , dietician and nutritionist.

If this is your first time hearing about the molecular method , here’s what it’s all about in a nutshell.
Dr. Rossi’s is a food method that opposes the concept of calorie counting with the idea of ​​considering food at a molecular level, therefore qualitative, because every time we eat we influence a series of chemical (and for example hormonal) processes on which everything depends. .
Our health, our tendency to gain or lose weight, our intestinal balance and so on.
How is this molecular diet characterized? What will you find in the new book “Happy Metabolism”?

THE MOLECULAR METHOD FOR A HAPPY METABOLISM

The method described by Dr. Rossi in his new book allows you to recover metabolic health .
He explains how calories are not important for weight loss (as you know I don’t totally agree on this), but it is important to understand how to combine meals to optimize our digestion and improve our hormonal response.
He dispels the myth that eating more fat makes us lose weight, and explains how to limit excess sugar too. The type of diet to restore metabolic health and have a happy metabolism is peach-ovo-vegetarian. So yes to legumes, fruit, raw and cooked vegetables, grains (rice, barley), fish, eggs and low-fat cheeses.

THE MOLECULAR METHOD HOW IT WORKS

• First of all, Dr. Rossi alternates between anabolic-protein days and glucose days.
  On protein days you essentially eat a reduced carbohydrate content such as bread, pasta or rice, limiting yourself to one slice of rye bread per meal, fruit and vegetables. On carbohydrate days, the traditional pasta dish (better than grains) is balanced with adequate protein and fiber support. By alternating protein and carbohydrate days, you lose weight.
  Not only that: the belly deflates, the mood improves, all our health benefits.
• But how do you know when to eat protein and when to carbohydrate? And which foods to choose?
  Another thing you need to know about the molecular method is that it aims at personalization, through a “health menu” that contrasts with that of the Mediterranean diet for a greater balance of proteins with carbohydrates and for a different order of meals.
  This is to make us lose weight, increase insulin sensitivity, reduce abdominal fat and avoid visceral fat, reduce blood sugar, reverse the tendency to gain weight.
  In the book “Happy Metabolism” there are sample plans for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks on both days.
  In addition, there is a recipe book at the end of the book.
• The biological self and the metabolic self. The biological self is our body from a, let’s say, structural point of view. Here Dr. Rossi explains the differences in body composition. Just worrying about weight without knowing how much our lean mass and fat mass is makes no sense. The metabolic ego is influenced by the hormonal response to food, and how our body uses oxygen, but also by our digestive capacity. He explains on the following pages which foods to use to enhance this ability.
