Writing about diets and nutrition isn’t as easy as it sounds.
In fact, it seems that the diets are always the same, while to be always the same are in reality only the good habits to eat well and be in shape. The ones that most of us snub.

In fact, there are hundreds of diets that come out every year. It often becomes difficult to discern. Some things can be totally useless if you want to lose weight.
Let us take the case of Raffaele Morelli : psychiatrist, psychotherapist commentator, for some time he has published his “ Pensa magro ” for the types of Mondadori. That he teaches you how to lose weight with your mind.

At first glance, this mind-losing thing may seem absurd. On the other hand, the mental factor plays an unimportant but essential role in weight loss. In fact, science has repeatedly focused on the mind as an engine of weight loss. Let’s try to understand why.

SLIMMING WITH THE MIND: THINK SLIM, BY DOCTOR RAFFALE MORELLI

Morelli remembers that food and mind and body and mind are not watertight compartments, separate rooms, but communicating vessels, so there is a little of us in what we eat. And at the same time, how we see ourselves reflects our eating behavior. The book exposes some cases of people who have lost weight by changing their mental approach , or mindset , and explains how to lose weight by becoming more aware of ourselves and our food choices.

In fact, we eat for a thousand reasons, as well as to nourish ourselves. We know this, we already sense it.
So if we were able to solve those knots that bind us to food in addition to the purely nutritional factor, do you think we would have more or less chance of losing weight? Obviously many more. And denying or underestimating this problem is like walking around with a woolen blanket in August. Our mind suffocates. And he rebels.
When the mind rebels, the resulting mental stress acts as a fattening factor.

Think lean is part of a generous trend, which we find abundantly in America: the idea of ​​eating consciously and taking an example from those who are already thin.

This means adopting skinny thinking , the lean thinking that often also becomes a successful thought and a positive thought. Also in skinny thinking we find things like having more food awareness, for example not being strict with yourself about food but not even eating just to fill your belly. Chew for a long time, pay attention to the quality of the food and its presentation.

But not only. Those who have to lose weight must find the right motivation to do it.
That is, it is not enough to tell yourself that you want to lose some weight, but you have to take responsibility for your past and present mistakes, and understand that we are the only architects of our weight loss.

Reading a book like Think Skinny won’t automatically make us lose weight.
In fact it is not a diet. However, it is a useful book because it provides you with the elements to know how to choose the right diet to lose weight and adopt the right strategy to do it once and for all and maintain the results.
