The trap of healthy eating according to Chris Sandel

 

I recently read this really interesting book that explains how our idea of ​​eating healthy and eating a healthy diet may not coincide with weight loss and body health. The book is called ” The Health Trap ” (unfortunately it is only in English) and the author is an Australian-born nutritionist named Chris Sandel , who works in Great Britain and has helped many people lose weight without a real diet. but by eating more.
In his book Chris Sandel says exactly this: drinking weight loss juices, eating huge amounts of fruit and vegetables, some nut bread and lots of protein may not be a healthy diet at all. Avoiding saturated fats and dressing everything with flaxseed oil may not be a healthy diet, as Chris is skeptical of vegan and vegetarian diets. A lot of ideas or more specifically fixations that we build around what is theating healthy, for example avoiding carbohydrates or dairy products, gluten or fats, may not only make us fat, but make life hell, giving us stress, more complicated digestion, lower metabolism, sleep disturbances, skin disorders, brittle hair and nails, and ultimately a slow metabolism. I have read the testimonials of people who followed Chris Sandel’s method,and that in the description of what they were like before understanding how to eat well they are frighteningly identical to most of the people who visit my blog or who at work tell me about their weight problems: over-stressed by a body that “doesn’t work”; with a swollen belly and belly fat that they’ve tried everything against, making it worse; returning from diets after diets and with a healthy weight that fluctuates dangerously as soon as they indulge in a pizza out; with a conflictual relationship with food based on self-control, the reduction of calories, the increase of physical activity, only to become even more stressed and binge and feel like failures, suffering from a voracious and continuous hunger that probably others do not they have. Wrong!
In “The health trap”,Sandel breaks down many clichés about correct nutrition : he states that many foods that we consider wrong are absolutely right for us; that in the morning we have to wake up thinking we are thin, and eating accordingly; that if we kept a food diary in which we describe all our physical and psychological sensations every time we eat, if we are well after eating something, if we are sick, when and how we “go wrong”, we would be able to better understand what our body wants the very foods that we think are wrong (and feels better eating them).
If our relationship with food is stressful, and we think about food much more than we should, this book teaches you to free yourself from stress and consider food as a way to nourish the body, and thus regain your weight and health without sacrifices and restrictions.
