The Chronodiet of Doctor Delabos

It’s called Chrono-nutrition, it is a regimen that is based on chronodiet , or on a diet that follows a precise timing (when to eat and how much to eat), and has been developed in France by Dr. Delabos, nutritionist, for some time now. year. Well known in the rest of the world but little to us, the chronodiet of Dr. Delabos would have been the secret behind which, according to the famous newspaper The Sun , the latest case of shock weight loss is hidden: a Macedonian girl with the advice of the chrono-nutrition of Delabos would have lost 60 kilos, going from 110 to 50 kilos without going hungry, and above all by eating chocolate and cheese.

The first few months the girl would have thinned without noticing big changes on the scale, but later the weight also started to drop easily. And in one year she lost 60 kilos.
But if the chronodiet has always been considered unreliable (or in any case not the only parameter to be taken into consideration when it comes to a low-calorie diet), how does Dr. Delabos’ system work and allow such an important weight loss?

I did some research to understand more: Dr. Delabos’ method of chrononutrition was developed by him as early as 1986, and would be based on the definition of morphotypes and on the existence of a biological clock of the body.
Basically, once you have identified your morphotype , the Delabois chronodiet would allow you to lose weight by eating the right foods, in the right quantities and at the right time.

The morphotypes, that is the morphological types to which our body corresponds (think of the apple or pear body: these are two morphotypes) in the case of Delabos are: the hourglass morphotype, the pyramidal (or pear) one, the monastic (or apple) morphotype ), the schwarzy one (masculine, with large shoulders), and the tree trunk one (massive but proportionate). Even the theory of morphotypes has not found confirmation of validity from a scientific point of view.
About four meals are eaten a day, three of which are main with 5-hour intervals.
In the morning, breakfast is mainly composed of fatty foods, protein foods and foods with a low glycemic index (such as wholemeal bread: an example of a breakfast is bread, butter and cheese or the English breakfast of eggs and bacon), the lunch with proteins such as meat and fish in quantity plus a small portion of pasta or rice and a minimum amount of vegetables, and dinner is protein and light with a plate of lean meats or fish and a small portion of vegetables. The jolly meal is the snack, which can be with dark chocolate or a fruit.
Basically, it is a low carb diet, a little less restrictive than the Dukan, but in which meat is eaten every day and fruits and vegetables are very limited. Do you lose weight? Apart from the amazing case of the Macedonian girl, on the internet many users say they tried it and lost weight without regaining weight.
Let’s see more specifically what the diet consists of.
Here too, as in the case of the Dukan, there is an attack phase and a maintenance phase.
