What diet to do to lose weight?
Many people are convinced that one diet is as good as another , and that at the most we must avoid drastic diets and prefer longer diets, including maintenance. Many criticize my blog because you can find both crash diets and long diets but from 1200 or 1300 calories .

It’s true, in my blog I talk about both crash diets, for 5 or 3 days, and longer diets, often signed by real dieticians and real nutritionists, which however do not exceed 1300 calories, which are few for the most part. of you and they are too few for me.

I give you news that will shock you.

There are many people who are only looking for crash diets:  the why is soon said. They want to lose weight quickly and have no reason. Currently 70 thousand people are registered on my facebook page, and more than two thirds are looking for a diet of this type. I don’t judge them. And I can’t judge them because often the information proves them right. 

There are protocols or cycles of diets even in fitness that last a few days, it depends on the goals of each . Your metabolism does not go down if you eat chicken for three days in a row (just an example): it goes down if you indiscriminately cut calories for a year in a row . If I come from a caloric surplus that has lasted two weeks, I can hold on to three days of centrifuged quietly and my gut and liver can only thank.

What I invite you to consider is always the context: there are times when doing two or three days of a strict diet can be a good idea, as long as you return to better eating habits; there are people who, after the age of 50, need 1200 or 1300 calorie diets because they start from a total daily metabolism of 1500 or 1700 calories to want to be lucky. The information you find online or even hear from an expert is always generic.

It’s not like people looking for shortcuts or crash diets have never gone to the dietician:  they often privately show me their paid and theoretically personalized diets. And these diets even reach a thousand calories, or do not exceed 1200.

In my life, I started doing diets as a girl, but when I turned to professionals, only one of them gave me a 1500 calorie diet (however without taking into account some parameters, for example without knowing that I was already starting with a low metabolism); in the other cases, I was subjected to diets of 1000 round calories.
And I was in my early twenties.

Do not misunderstand me. The best idea is always to go to a dietician or a nutritionist if we don’t know how to create our diet to lose weight and stay healthy: BUT  before going there, it is still necessary for you to have a clear idea.

If you don’t have a clear idea of ​​your situation, you can’t take any steps forward.
If you don’t tell your doctor that you have already done many unsuccessful diets, the diet he gets you on will not give you the results you are hoping for.

Before choosing any long-term diet, I strongly recommend that you become aware of these things:

1. Do you have even a rough idea of ​​your total metabolism? Look for an online calculator and before going on a diet try to understand this parameter.
2. Do you exercise or not? Without physical activity you are not going anywhere, anywhere. There are training patterns that last no more than two hours a week, and many possible activities that take up ten minutes of your time. It is impossible to believe that you can get back in shape and lose weight, or remove fat mass, with diet alone. You should take care of your physical activity before doing any weight loss diet and think only of the calories or foods to be cut, perhaps believing that fats or carbohydrates or cereals or fruit sugars are the problem. Because they are not. 
3. Can you choose a good nutritionist? Do you know what questions he should ask you, and which he should ask you about analysis? NO?
   I’ll explain it here . Only if your doctor does what I list in the article will he give you a truly personalized diet.
4. Can you avoid SCAMS? You know that genetics today cannot provide you with personalized diet recommendations, that carbohydrate-free protein diets are not for everyone, that if your friend has lost weight with a program that you know nothing about, opening your wallet will not suffice. its own results? If you don’t know these 4 things that I have just listed, sorry, but what do you think you will achieve? Try, starting from these simple inputs, to study starting from you, from your real needs, and the diet for you will magically come out.
