Yoni Freedhoff’s 10 Day Diet
It is not the usual weight loss or trendy diet, this one of Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, Canadian doctor specializing in bariatric surgery.
Who, after talking about the harms of disposable diets and helping his obese patients for years, wrote a book, “The Diet Fix”.
In this book, Dr. Fredhoff provides some rules to be able to lose weight without a diet or almost, that is, starting from a series of good eating habits.
To be learned and implemented in the first ten days and then followed by the loss of excess weight.
So this is not a diet where you are told what to eat every day.
These are things you have to try to do for ten days, experimenting and seeing if you have any improvements
Underlying this book is Dr. Freedhoff’s idea of ​​distinguishing goodwill and effort in eating a healthy diet from sacrifice at the table. Sacrifices do not pay, on the contrary, they create growing frustrations that lead us to eat more and throw away good intentions, accumulating more and more weight.
Here are his ten tips for making a commitment to a healthy diet without sacrifices and frustrations.
YONI FREDHOFF’S 10-DAY DIET
By doing these things in ten days you won’t lose all the excess pounds in no time.
But according to the doctor, these tips help us not to see food as an enemy , to understand how much and how to go wrong, not to fossilize only on calories, but to learn the key concepts for losing weight without diet or sacrifices.
In short: you lose weight more slowly but steadily.Â
Ten days of reset, of transformation to switch to a healthy and proper diet, satisfying but also slimming and healthy.
- Neutralize Hunger: Don’t skip meals or snacks when you’re hungry. Try to eat small, frequent meals (five or six times a day including snacks) to avoid arriving at lunch or dinner with a ravenous hunger. The snacks can be fruit (one fruit), yogurt (one lean), two or three dark chocolate cubes, raw vegetables, a dozen almonds or walnuts, some dried prunes.
- Keep a food diary: you can use an app like myfitnesspal or fatsecret or keep a notebook in which you write down what you eat. Often it is enough to write down everything to realize what we eat in excess and what we do wrong. To find out how to regulate yourself, you can:
– calculate our total daily caloric requirement
– reduce calories by 15%
– do an activity that allows us to burn more
– choose a healthy and balanced diet - Home cooking: Avoid eating out if you want to lose some weight. Cooking alone helps us keep an eye on ingredients and portions.
- Work out:Â join the gym or engage in some sporting activity every day or 3 times a week (depending on what you have chosen).
- Go wrong and eat out once in a while: there are no good or bad foods, but foods that are worth eating and foods that are better to eat less. Always ask yourself if cookies and sweets are worth eating when a cube of chocolate can satisfy you. Go to a pizzeria or eat out on a one-time basis, for example, allow yourself one free meal a week. This way you reduce the stress of the diet and train your metabolism.
- Set realistic goals: Losing 5 pounds in a week or two is unrealistic and will make you feel like a failure if you fail to lose the weight you wanted. Better the policy of small steps. Losing half a pound a week, for example.
- Try to understand what your problems are in losing weight and find solutions tailored to you: little time for the gym? Get yourself a treadmill at home, or a mini stepper; little time to cook? Cook once a week and prepare food for freezing.
