How can I optimally lose weight between diet, swimming pool and gym?

Faced with a back-lumbar muscular distraction found in hospital, I was advised (which unfortunately I already knew) to lose weight, as I made the most trivial mistake I could ever make: I maintained a very high diet despite having stopped to train as before 5 days a week. Now the situation is that I have about 30 kg to dispose of on 198 cm of height, against 86 kg for 198 cm previously. I started by replacing a daily meal with various centrifuged based on celery , apple , carrotsalternating with other similar ones. I would be interested to know, given that for about 40 days I will not be able to do physical activity, neither in charge, nor in unloading (swimming, gym, etc.), if it is counterproductive to continue on this line, over the entire period of “hospitalization” and / or if it is advisable to maintain this regime after the muscle toning period which will be based on 2 days of swimming, 2 days of gym aimed at muscle recovery and 1 day of isometric work. Thanks in advance for any advice. George

Dear Giorgio, my name is Guido and I am a professional Personal trainer. Your idea of training alternating between gym and swimming pool is excellent. On gym days, at the end of your workout, I recommend that you do at least 20 minutes of stretching. Regarding the diet, I recommend that you speak to a nutritionist. On my website www.intothefitness.com you can also find the nutritionist inside and not only. From my experience those who have been very trained and like you accustomed to high calorie diets often have this problem with food, but then move on to another excess …. They eat too little. What does this entail? Initially you will necessarily have a significant weight loss, but this is mainly due to your muscles … Plus, losing weight very quickly is a major stress on your body because it doesn’t have time to adjust to the change. The consequences are usually: hernias, joint pain,back pain , weakness, stretch marks , muscles that lose tone. So, workout, ok! + stretching and in addition (if you are not already doing it) nutritionist because nutrition counts for 70% to achieve an excellent result.

Dear Giorgio, juices are fine but they could be too strong a variant with respect to the type of feeding previously carried out. In the book “the food that passes through my mind …” it is well explained how the body can react in ways that are sometimes different from expectations when adopting a different or restricted diet compared to the usual diet. If your physical condition allows it, go for a walk. Power alone if you don’t move isn’t always enough! Meanwhile, centrifuged and fruit and vegetable salads are excellent for cleaning the body and preparing it for the next step which is to give it energy and efficiency with the integration of sports aimed at its needs and its constitution. Generally the dissociated feeding helps to deflate and lose a few pounds without too much effort. This can be a good start while waiting for a meal plan that includes the nutrients needed to cope with the physical activity that has stopped. Also remember that too much activity wears down and consumes cartilage and joints and increases the number of free radicals (professional athletes age earlier). To reap the maximum benefit it is therefore necessary to moderate the activity by preferring long-lasting sports and gradual and maintained intensity. These characteristics also train the heart and oxygenate the body without tiring it. My suggestion is to eliminate or reduce fatty and “industrial” foods. Prefer fruit and vegetable juices together. Limit carbohydrates by 3pm with raw vegetables and prefer plant-based proteins (there are lots of good, varied and healthy ones), accompanied by other vegetables. You consume it between meals. Nuts, yogurt (better vegetable) or sheep’s milk ricotta for breakfast or as a snack if you are hungry. In the morning you can opt for the kousmine breakfast.
