Tired of hearing about diets and carbohydrates to be eliminated to get back in shape?
Then this article is for you.
Here I will explain how to start losing weight and lose weight in a week without a diet, but with a series of precautions that if continued for a long time (perhaps forever), will allow you to stay in shape in a very simple way, because they will become an integral part of yours. eating habits.

To do this, I return to talk about the American nutritionist and personal trainer Ari Whitten and his latest book, Forever Fat Loss , in which Ari explains how to reach your ideal weight without a proper weight loss diet.

This is because the weight loss diet, he explains, slows down our metabolism and triggers a series of biological and psychological defenses that lead us to gain more weight than we had to lose initially.
But if we never did diets, would we be better or worse than before?

According to Ari and many other experts, we would probably be healthier.
But if then weight loss diets don’t work and make us gain weight, should we be left to fend for ourselves and eat as usual? It is our normal diet and our usual lifestyle that have made us fat!
Here, the point on which we are wrong is precisely this.
It takes some precautions to ensure that our body loses weight naturally, without resorting to diet. Let’s see which ones.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT IN A WEEK WITHOUT DIET

1. Avoid calorie restriction
2. Eat carbohydrates, proteins and fats, i.e. eat a balanced diet.
3. Turn off any electronic device at least two hours before going to bed and correct the screen of PCs, televisions and smartphones with a program that eliminates blue rays at night to help us sleep and not depress melatonin
4. Sleep in complete darkness for at least eight hours a day.
5. Increase NEAT, or non-sporting activities that increase our daily calorie expenditure: sitting as little as possible (or doing the things I explain here ), for example, walking back and forth while talking on the phone, cooking at home, doing walking stairs.
6. Avoid any refined and white food (from white flour to white sugar) in favor of wholemeal.
7. Avoid vegetable fats such as canola oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, soybean oil. The only oil to prefer is extra virgin olive oil.
8. Therefore, avoid margarine for butter. Coconut oil and ghee are also good.
9. Avoid excessive consumption of nuts and oil seeds.
10. Avoid soy products
11. Cook simple, spartan dishes with simple cooking. Grilled meat and fish, vegetables stir-fried with oil, coconut oil or butter, hard-boiled eggs in salads, legume dishes with a drizzle of raw oil, pasta or rice with vegetables.
12. Avoid variety: there shouldn’t be three thousand items in your pantry. Do your shopping frequently if you like to vary during the week, the important thing is not to stuff the fridge or pantry with different proposals for the same food category (like having ten versions of biscuits).
13. Alternate pasta with brown rice, cereals, potatoes, legumes, wholemeal bread with mother yeast in your daily diet. In this way you will naturally avoid an excess of gluten, avoiding eating pasta every day, biscuits, snacks.
14. Soak cereals and legumes for at least 8-12 hours before consumption, changing the water often. If possible, learn how to sprout them.
15. Make a diet as natural as possible: fruits and vegetables consumed naturally (no juices, preparations), meat, fish, legumes, cheeses, eggs, honey instead of sugar. Try to eat “as it once was” and “as our grandparents ate” (when they were little)!A natural diet can also be done in the city.
    – So: do not eat anything industrially processed.
    – Eat whenever you are hungry, always focusing on simple foods. Respond to sugar hunger by eating a fruit.
    – Avoid cardio fitness to instead do long walks and some weights or bodyweight exercises.
    – Favorite protein: a source of protein in every meal!
