Eating for weight loss according to Danelle Wolford

FINAL_Have_your_cake-584x785 I met Danelle Wolford’s book through Matt Stone’s website, 180 Degree Health, one of the blogs that I always keep an eye on together with Butter Nutrition: they are a real mine of information on the right diet, and above all by putting forward the thesis that for losing weight must create a state of health of the body, not a state of malnutrition. And therefore, low-calorie diets make you lose weight in a short time, but in 95% of cases they make you get it back within a few years., and in 5% of cases they force you into an eternal struggle with the scales and calorie restrictions or other diets after a certain amount of time to defend your status of thinness, at the expense of health. For this reason, even though I am thin, I eat a lot more than many diet-obsessed people and my worries about food are all linked to trying to make natural choices, and not necessarily thin.
This is why I can only be in favor of Danelle Wolford’s book, Have your cake and lose weight too , which in Italian sounds like “ Eat the cake and lose weight too! “. Yes, a book that explains how and what to eat to lose weight without falling into a diet obsession, and in particular without inflicting calorie restrictions.

But before telling you how, let’s see together the story of Danelle : a girl who has had back operations twice and who has always fought with overweight due to physical problems, and a metabolism that she left to be desired. Towards the age of thirty Danelle has definitely changed course. She gave up on diets, calories, portion control, and she started eating what she calls real food .: food that our grandparents would recognize as such, food cooked by us, with fresh ingredients, without preparations, additives, preservatives. Meat, fish, eggs, whole grains, whole grains, rice, potatoes, seeds, fruits, vegetables, nuts, honey, natural sugars and natural fats were the focus of his diet. Danelle has started making homemade cakes, muffins and pancakes for breakfast, meat stews with potatoes, vegetable croquettes, limiting junk food (pizza, fries, Chinese food) to weekends, and so on. eating one hundred percent natural and not industrially processed food: whole milk and not skimmed milk; homemade mashed potatoes and not frozen or pre-fried potato croquettes.
With this return to tradition,Danielle lost all the excess weight she had gained by eating frozen food, packaged food, light and fat-free food that was however added with sugars and preservatives. She also eliminated the major stress of calorie counting and food restrictions. Even if the book mentions Weston Price a little too much, which I often find misunderstood and overrated, the story inside is really helpful in understanding that a lifetime of continuous diets is counterproductive to our health and leads us to be fatter and fatter. and more and more rigid.
Sure, losing weight without a diet, but eating will not lead us to lose weight immediately, and at first maybe we will even gain a kilo, but as soon as the body gets used to eating and feeding and no longer suffers from constant deprivation, the weight tends to drop and we will naturally be lean and healthy.
As happened to Danelle, who by eating healthy and enough, without being afraid of fats, carbohydrates or proteins, she lost 18 kilos.
