Dr. Evelina Flachi, nutritionist and specialist in Food Sciences, says that to lose weight you have to bet everything on the number five. She then developed a diet, now called the 5 Diet, once the Pentadiet, which she herself describes as follows .

Designed to lose unwanted pounds in 5 weeks, the 5 Diet is based on combinations of different foods to avoid the accumulation of toxins and nutritional imbalances. It teaches to eat by controlling quantities, but above all it focuses on foods with low caloric density but which provide a balanced percentage of fiber and nutrients, essential for protecting the body, eliminating those rich in “empty” c

With this diet Antonella Clerici would have lost the first 5 kg in a month, and then continue to lose weight in a constant and lasting way despite having exceeded 50 years. In addition to her diet, the doctor recommended three treadmill sessions a week for at least three quarters of an hour.

We can imitate Antonella Clerici’s diet by following Dr. Flachi’s nutritional plan and taking 3 to 4 walks at a brisk pace of half an hour / hour. Or, if we are at home and DO NOT have a treadmill, following these videos of walking around the house or dancing at home , also suitable for absolute beginners.
You have so many choices and all of them free!

HOW MANY KILOS ARE LOST WITH THE 5

The 5 diet works to lose the first 5 pounds in 30 days and then the rest of the pounds over time. It is also not only easy, but it teaches you to eat better, reduces the waistline and normalizes cholesterol and blood sugar.
In summary, the 5 diet is a diet for all women who want to finally get rid of the extra pounds, get it right and once and for all. Let’s see how it works right away.

DIET OF 5
HOW THE DIET OF ANTONELLA CLERICI WORKS

The 5 diet is based on two principles.

• The first is the number of nutrients that each main meal must have, i.e. 5 nutrients. Each main meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) must have carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fibers and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).
• The second principle, which I think is very important and which I have talked about in how to go wrong without failing the diet is the free meal . According to Dr. Flachi it should be done either on Wednesdays or Sundays , keeping the other days light.

A free meal means only one meal .
For example a pizza or a dessert or a lasagna are 1 free meal.

But it is useful to know that we can eat anything. Not only on a psychological level, so as not to make us feel deprived and not to feel the stress of diet, but also because for the metabolism an important thing is to vary, allowing us every food, even the sin of gluttony. But in a studied way.

To me the Flachi diet seems like a good approach to the Mediterranean diet, “adjusted” to keep us in line for life and without making us lack anything, as long as it is combined with physical activity.

Before talking about the menu to understand if the 5 diet is the right one for you, below you will find the doctor’s texts to start the diet, with recipes and advice.

Let’s see a sample menu of the 5 diet.

DIET OF 5: MENU

Rules.

• First courses-Bread-Polenta-Pizza-Potatoes should never be taken at the same meal. So you can indulge in one of these carbohydrates with every meal.
• A dessert in moderate quantity always replaces the 5 p of the first rule.
  So for breakfast you can choose rusks or cereals or a slice of light cake made by you like this delicious light donut . But don’t eat these things together.
• You need to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.
• Drink a glass of warm or warm water before each meal.

Breakfast.
A glass of warm water and lemon. 
1 glass of 200 ml skimmed or soy milk or 125 grams of low-fat white yogurt + a slice of wholemeal bread or two tablespoons of oat flakes + a teaspoon of jam or honey.

Snack.
A fruit of your choice of season (if you want you can combine it with breakfast) of about 150 grams or a centrifuged vegetable + fruit. Alternatively 125 grams of low-fat white yogurt or 20 grams of Grana Padano.
Same thing goes for the snack. Same as snack. 

Lunch.

60 grams of pasta or rice or 70 grams of bread or 200 grams of potatoes with one of these foods of your choice.

• 100 grams of boiled drained legumes or alternatively 40 grams of dried legumes + 40 of pasta or rice.
• 120 grams of shellfish or crustaceans of your choice (net fruit weight)
• 40 grams of raw ham, cooked or bresaola.

Plus a plate of vegetables of your choice as a side dish or in combination with pasta or rice with a teaspoon of oil. If we do not eat pasta or rice or bread or potatoes, but we prefer a second course, we accompany the whole with 150 grams of fruit.

But it is better to prefer complex carbohydrate sources and reserve fruit for snacks.

Dinner.
A portion (100 grams) of red meat or 130 grams of white meat or a portion of aged cheese (40 grams) or a dairy product such as cottage cheese, ricotta, light mozzarella (100 gr) or 200 grams of fish or two eggs + vegetables + a teaspoon of oil.

Plus 40 grams of smollicato bread or 150 grams of potatoes.

In the maintenance phase we reach 70-80 grams of pasta and 20 grams of oil (3-4 teaspoons) and up to 170 grams for white meat and 250 grams for white fish.

How to deal with proteins?

White meats twice a week, red meats once, cured meats once, dairy products twice, aged cheeses once, legumes four times, eggs once.

On Wednesday or Sunday you can have a free meal.

However, if the meal was rich and we are in the dietary phase, Monday can be a compensation day or Thursday: follow this Monday diet plan from the doctor.
