January is not the best month to go on a diet: Andrew Shanahan , the author of the book  Man V Fat , told the Telegraph . Shananan, journalist, food critic and food expert, has in fact created a community to help people lose weight.

According to what he says, when you diet, or the time of the year to try, it is so important to the diet itself. And the best month to start thinking about losing weight is February. Let’s see why and see which diets are perfect for those who want to lose weight from February onwards.

WHEN DO YOU DIET? FEBRUARY IS THE IDEAL TIME

A diet should be done in February for three reasons.

• In January there is still an air of celebration .

  New Year’s Eve, the Befana, in short, the holidays, the residuals of sweets, the stress of returning to work, the stress of returning to school for the children, the discounted panettone and the super-offers to which you cannot say no. Too many things to make January the appropriate month for weight loss. In February, there is only the temptation of carnival, which we can all survive by indulging in a little trick on Shrove Tuesday and Thursday. And for those who want to respect the diet, here are the light Carnival recipes selected from the best blogs by Dcomedieta (and try it for yourself!) .

• We start the year with good intentions …

  Resolutions that are abandoned immediately but make nutritionists and coaches full of customers who then throw in the towel. In February, any instructor follows you, as many before you have abandoned good intentions. Same thing for nutritionists: in January impossible to contact them, in February they are freer. In addition, if the desire to lose weight remains even after the initial motivation from the first of the year, it means that you are more convinced than others to get back in shape.

• January is a time to take it easy .

  We let the body begin to dispose of its own by returning to normal nutrition little by little. In February we will already have a more reliable weight, and we will feel more motivated to lose it because it will certainly be less than that recorded on January 2.

  In short, February is the ideal month to go on a diet, while for the whole of January we can continue to think about which regime is best for us, what physical activity to do, etc. So to work with strategy.

  … Still no strategy but the desire to be in shape is there, and how?
