I’ll be back to talk about Dr. Sara Farnetti : doctor and nutritionist “of common sense” I have already talked about many times in my blog, Dr. Farnetti deals with functional nutrition , that is, she emphasizes how foods act between them, which combinations and cooking are best for healthy weight loss, and the properties of individual foods. The doctor’s slimming schemes are based in part on the theory of glycemic and insulin load as responsible for the extra pounds. In this article, we see a very simple slimming scheme of her,which can be used (obviously by customizing it, it is a generic slimming scheme) to lose weight after some excess, in particular when returning from holidays or parties, without falling victim to too drastic regimes (for example extreme low-calorie or carbohydrate-free).
Let’s see it in brief.
