Second Commandment: Choose what you want to eat<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Primary care patient’s preferences for Very Low Calorie Diets vs Low Calorie Diets, 9th International Congress of Obesity, August 2002.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the past 50 years, my research and scientific publications have focused on identifying the best diet for losing weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My first observation is that in order to lose weight, there must be a caloric deficit: consuming fewer calories than you burn. It is impossible to do otherwise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My second observation is that the person must choose to follow a diet that suits him. They don’t have to. “I have to lose weight” must be replaced with “I choose to eat better.” This is paramount before actually undertaking weight loss.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My third observation is that the choice of eating plan must not only allow you to lose weight, but to lose weight in good health.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To achieve this, several dietary principles must be followed:<\/p>\n

1-Eat less carbohydrates.\u00a0Between 50 and 150 g\/day depending on the stage of weight loss and maintenance of a healthy weight.<\/p>\n

2- Eat more protein.Between 1.5g\/kg and 0.8g\/kg of healthy weight\/day depending on the stage of weight loss and maintenance of healthy weight.<\/p>\n

3- Consume enough vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids (EFAs) and antioxidants.<\/p>\n

4- Consume fewer calories than before the diet.<\/p>\n

5- Consume a wide variety of different food groups.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My fourth observation is that the food plan chosen by the person and that meets these dietary principles will allow him to give up less and to persevere longer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My fifth observation is to prevent reactive hypoglycemia. This is not a disease, but an imbalance in carbohydrate metabolism. In my studies between 60 and 80% of people who see me at the beginning of treatment suffer from this condition.<\/p>\n

The symptoms can be single or multiple:<\/p>\n
