He recommends eliminating processed food from the diet, i.e. chips, biscuits and sweet drinks, sugar, processed oils and using only cold-pressed instead. Flavor enhancers make us addicted, so we want such food even more. Processed food feeds the “wrong” bacteria in the gut, it does not provide the diversity we want and need. It does not contain vitamins or minerals, although they can be added to it, they are mostly in inappropriate forms that our body cannot use.

It is important to ensure sufficient protein intake (eggs, meat and fish), for a healthy individual this means approximately 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. A person weighing 60 kilograms should therefore consume 90 grams of protein per day. Proteins are the building blocks of our cells and therefore absolutely necessary in the diet. We limit the consumption of high-calorie foods such as fats, oils, nuts and very fatty cuts of meat. For women in particular, the intake of healthy fats is also crucial, as they are absolutely necessary for the synthesis of our hormones and the functioning of the brain, he adds.

Everyone should find what suits them and stick to it. Adjust your lifestyle to support leanness. In the beginning, we may not be able to take care of everything at once, but every step counts. It is essential that we optimize everything in such a way that we can stick to it in the long term.
We are introducing changes gradually
