How to lose weight and not gain it
What should be done to lose weight? Professional Nutrition Consultant Yvonne von Salis, specialist of the Weight Loss Program team at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland, shares her thoughts on this topic.
YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED SPECIALIST IN ALL ASPECTS OF NUTRITION AND WEIGHT LOSS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOSE 10 POUNDS IN A WEEK?
Well, it’s possible, but of course it depends on how overweight the patient is and also how strictly they can adhere to our weight loss program.
It usually requires a combination of personal training and our “Cuisine Equilibrée”, balanced meals created by our doctors, nutritionists and chefs. In two of our eight restaurants we offer the “Cuisine Equilibrée” menu.
IS THIS A GUARANTEED AND HEALTHY WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT THAT YOU CAN RECOMMEND TO ALL OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE?
Our goal is to motivate the patient to change his lifestyle. This is the only way to be successful without ending up with a yo-yo effect.
It’s not just a question of what kind of food you eat, but also a question of when and how much you eat.
A good but heavy dinner with friends you should compensate by eating less food the next day – then you will never have serious weight problems. The eternal question is how much and how often.
Thus, if the patient understands how it works, we guarantee that our weight loss program will work.
SHOULD DIET PLANS FOR WEIGHT LOSS BE INDIVIDUALIZED?
Individual diet plans are not necessary for success.
But we prefer to give an individual program to each patient, because the result will be effective and sustainable.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF WEIGHT LOSS ARE WHAT: EXERCISE, DAILY DIET AND NUTRITION, WEIGHT LOSS DIETS?
As I mentioned above, most overweight people need to change their lifestyle.
You must choose carefully how much, at what time and what you eat. We burn the most fat when we sleep.
It may sound silly, but since our body is resting and we are not active, our body burns a lot of energy to keep the body at a temperature of 36.5 °.
Therefore, if you eat less food for dinner and do not eat late, your body will burn fat, as this is its engine to maintain body temperature.
It seems that everything is very simple, but we all know how difficult it is to sleep on an empty stomach. If you treat yourself to a light early dinner once or twice a week, you won’t need to go on a diet.
And of course exercise, exercise, exercise! This is what you should do at least 3 or 4 times a week. Or walk every day for 30 minutes.
