Losing weight without counting the calories, nor banish chocolate or flee the aperitifs? It is possible, according to a nutritionist doctor, without redoubled efforts.
Laurence Plumey, a nutritionist and author, recently attracted attention with a publication posted to her Instagram account. Here, no slimming recipes or a table of calories, simply a video in which she explains why everyone is doing it backwards when it comes to losing weight. Concretely, contrary to the received idea that everything happens on the plate, it maintains that it is not the priority. In any case, not at the beginning.
Most regime attempts fail because they generate tensions: we deprive ourselves, we feel guilty, we crack, we start again. The body enters resistance. It becomes more difficult to move, to play sports or even to hold over time. Result, fatigue settles down, and with it, the desires of sugar, the uncontrollable cravings, the blows of soft. What Laurence Plumey offers is therefore to take the problem at the root. His approach is based on a reverse logic: bringing to the body the energy he needs to manage to adopt good behavior.
According to her, a large part of the uncontrolled food intakes do not come from real hunger, but from fatigue. And the more exhausted the body, the more comforting foods, rapid to consume, rich in calories. Conversely, a resting body manages its needs better, moves more easily, digests better, chooses more balanced meals. His idea is therefore very simple: start by finding a healthy rhythm of life by taking care of his sleep. Sleeping better is the undisputed starting point for effective and durable weight loss.
Indeed, while sleeping enough, you will move more naturally, eat better, regulate your desires better, all, without having the impression of generating the slightest effort. In short, a virtuous circle that is easy to set up, since it does not imply any deprivation or unsustainable physical activities. To remember!
