Lucilla Titta , nutritionist (degree in Human Food Quality and Safety and in Human Nutrition Sciences, PhD in Food Biotechnology) as well as coordinator of the Smartfood team of the Ieo (European Institute of Oncology), is a reference point for correct nutrition, but in his latest book he decided to talk to men , who have always been a little reluctant to take care of themselves through proper nutrition. The result? A worrying increase in cases of type 2 diabetes, as well as an increase in visceral fat, the most dangerous and related to the risks of chronic diseases.

Talking about healthy nutrition for men is not only possible, but it is a must , and it is crucial to do it in a personalized way: in short, the female and male diet do not coincide , if not broadly (consumption of both raw fruit and vegetables that cooked, reduction of added sugars, choice of quality for proteins, reduction of fats at the table, etc.) and it is on the basis of this perspective that Dr. Titta has written a new book for Rizzoli, entitled ” The male diet “.
For men who want to have a correct diet combined with a correct lifestyle (the right movement, the reduction of stress and bad habits), this book is undoubtedly a recommended reading.
There are four dietary mistakes that men commit more than women: picky towards fruit and vegetables, do not like whole grains, often have lunch out and overindulge in the consumption of cured meats and red meats.

However, men have the great advantage of being able to improve their metabolism with a few simple rules: they lose weight more easily than women, precisely because they have a faster metabolism given by greater lean mass. But they often let themselves go , either because they are very busy with work, and therefore experience both the stress and the effect of bad habits (business lunches, impromptu dinners, the use of pizzas and other quick and practical remedies when at home. , the problem of not wanting or not knowing how to cook) and a sedentary lifestyle.
Dr. Titta’s is therefore a practical guide on diet for males, to understand how to eat according to your lifestyle, how to prepare lunches or dinners even when you are out all day, or traveling, or sitting all the time behind a desk. The results are immediately visible, explains the doctor in her book: blood sugar, cholesterol and pressure drop in a few months with the right dietary precautions.
