Going on a diet in quarantine: a right or wrong decision?
Most likely paying more attention to what you eat is the best move.

Staying at home all day for those who are not used to it can be heavy, both from a psychological and “caloric” point of view. With the result that many people locked up at home following the new decree for the Coronavirus, or severely limited for the exits that we remember being emergency, end up consoling themselves with food.

On the other hand, as I explained in the article on how to work at home without gaining weight , we must also take into account that if we do not organize ourselves by doing some physical activity at home, there is a risk of gaining weight.
Even eating the same things.

This is because by going out and being busy at work all day, we burn calories.
Instead, we don’t burn at home, or to a much lesser extent.

But the solution is there. That is to understand how to stay on a diet in quarantine, explains prof. Giorgio Calabrese.

Which does not mean putting yourself on a strict weight loss diet, but taking simple measures to avoid gaining weight.

A DIET IN QUARANTINE: HOW TO EAT ACCORDING TO PROF. CALABRIAN

In a recent interview , prof. Giorgio Calabrese, the Italian dietician par excellence, explained that it would be better to reduce the daily calories, eating about 300 fewer.

This according to Dcomedieta would mean, for a woman, depending on age and physical conformation, to introduce from a maximum of 1700 calories a day to a minimum of about 1450 calories if you stay at home.

But without cutting further, because, the professor always explains, a depression due to being closed in the house or a state of anxiety and fear still lead us to burn more calories. This is due to the action of adrenaline and insulin, which steal energy from us and can cause states of weakness or hypoglycemia.
