I love Matt Fitzgerald : you don’t know who caper he’s talking about, but this handsome young man you see in the photo accompanying the article is a writer, athlete (he’s a runner) and personal trainer, expert in preparing athletes for marathons and for triathlon competitions, of which the nutritional aspect also follows. As if that weren’t enough, he also writes good books: one of them, Diet Cults , has become very popular. In this book Matt explains why the diet industry does not make us lose weight and in the long run it also worsens our sports life. Whenever Matt Fitzgerald writes a feature article for some magazine, rest assured that he will propose a less restrictive but more effective approach to losing weight and staying fit. Like here, where he lists 6 rules for effortless weight loss in a period of at least six weeks: off 4 kilos!
This is not to slow down the metabolism but to achieve appreciable results without growing a beard (a month and a half, come on).

SIX TIPS TO LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT EFFORT (BY MATT FITZGERALD)
1) Cut 200 calories a day. Calculate your total energy needs and cut 200 calories per day, no more. That way you can make sure you don’t slow down your metabolism, Matt cites recent research from Tafts University that states that a deficit of 200 calories a day has no major effect on our metabolism. The important thing is to do it correctly. Keep a diary or rely on an app.
