Summer is coming, we are going back to the beautiful beaches, the swimming pools, the beautiful landscapes... For some people, these settings are synonymous with swimming costumes, silhouettes, but also with showing up with extra kilos.
First of all, we'd like to remind you that losing weight before summer is not a necessity. It's a process that accompanies all those who feel better in a body that's more refined than the rest of the year.
To help these people, D-LAB gives you its advice and its top 5 diets for losing weight before the summer.
Why diet? By diet, we mean abalanced diet that's right for you. As you know, all our slimming cures must be accompanied by a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
Rebalancing one's diet can differ according to one's goals and lifestyle.
Forget Weight Watchers, cabbage soup or the high-protein diet, here are 5 diets that will really help you :
I. The Mediterranean diet for those aiming for good cardiovascular health and effortless fat burning:
This diet is typical of Mediterranean populations.
The American Ancel Keys has shown that people living around the Mediterranean enjoy good cardiovascular health, despite the fact that 40% of their calories come from fat.
I draw your attention to this point, to remind you that when it comes to fats, it's all a question of "How do I choose them?" and not "How do I banish them?". Good fats are our friends !
In fact, it's thanks to them that we can synthesize the right hormones. A good hormonal balance enables the metabolism to function properly, so that weight loss is not blocked.
To practice this diet, you need to :
Vegetables at every meal! Raw or cooked, fill half the plate. Starchy foods should not be neglected as they are our primary source of energy. They should fill a quarter of our plate.
Chooseoliveoil, the star of this diet, rather than butter, which is bad for your health.
When it comes to protein, seafood is the best choice, white meat can be eaten but not abused, and red meat can be eaten no more than once a week. Dairy products: in moderate quantities, and red wine is tolerated at the rate of one glass per meal :)
The aim of this diet is to completely avoid ready-made, industrial, overly salty, ultra-processed meals and refined cereals, which are the enemies of your weight loss.
II. The Glycemic Index diet :
The aim of this diet is to play on satiety to lose weight.
A food's Glycemic Index is a number indicating its ability to raise blood sugar levels quickly.
The lower the glycemic index, the slower the digestion and the more stable our blood sugar levels.
In this way, satiety is encouraged, and sweet cravings and hypoglycemia prompting eating are controlled and reduced: weight loss guaranteed.
Conversely, the higher the glycemic index, the more you disturb your blood sugar levels and your weight loss/re-gain.
A low glycemic index is less than 55. Of course, it's impossible to know the glycemic index of every food, but there are a few tricks you should know to help you follow this diet:
- Cooking methods have a strong influence on the glycemic index. The more you cook a food, the higher the cooking temperature, etc., the higher the glycemic index. For example, when cooking pasta, it's better to cook it al dente than fondant. Think of legumes, which are very interesting!
- The refinement of the food: prefer raw or dark foods to white flours or processed foods.
- The amount of fiber in foods
- Mix foods: the more you vary food families together, the lower the glycemic index.
This diet is important, even if you don't necessarily want to lose weight, but just want to make a appetite regulation.
III. The gut microbiota diet :
The microbiota is at the heart of our health. To shed those extra pounds, we need to take care of this living micro-world.
If our intestinal flora is well balanced, and contains enough good bacteria, then we can digest the food bolus normally and efficiently .
Otherwise, we bloat and store, because our digestion is impaired and food ferments.
How to look after your intestinal microbiota?
Firstly, a two- or three-month course of probiotics is taken to repopulate the entire intestine with the "goodness" of probiotics.Pure Probioflora.
This formula developed by the D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS team contains 5 strains of lactic ferments that closely resemble those found in our intestines. It rebalances and promotes digestive comfort.
It can be completed with the Enzymatic Slimming ComplexThis is why it is important to use a diet containing digestive enzymes to digest food more quickly and convert it into energy to avoid storing it.
IV. The chrononutrition diet :
Chrononutrition is the practice of eating according to the time of day.
This means eating foods at the time of day when they are most useful for satisfying the body's energy needs. In other words, we eat a little of everything, but at specific times of the day.
It's a very interesting diet that hasproved its worth on overweight people.
How do I apply it?
In the morning, you should eat fats, to reach satiety, and especially not sugar. This will avoid cravings and fatigue in the morning.
Lunch will be the largest meal in terms of quantity but without fat: proteins and starches.
If you are hungry in the afternoon: have a sweet snack, this is the time when the body assimilates sugars best.
Finally, dinner should be as light as possible on this diet, with fish or white meat and a few vegetables.
V. Simple food rebalancing :
The simplest and most recommended for our cures: rebalancing your diet.
Sometimes you don't have to look far to lose weight: changing two or three bad eating habits is all it takes to shed those last few extra kilos.
We eat when we're hungry, we structure our meals throughout the day, avoiding nibbling in between; we eat vegetables at every meal, we drink plenty of water, we don't cut anything out but we eat everything in small quantities and we don't feel guilty!
A "standard" meal would be: half a plate of vegetables, a quarter of starchy foods and a quarter of proteins. We take a yoghurt for dessert for the calcium intake, and we reduce the usual quantities a little to lose weight.
Of course, all these diets can be accompanied by a slimming food supplement to kick-start weight loss and make it sustainable.
