The ideal weight does not exist. For this nutritionist, a single body of the body really counts to lose fat permanently.
For a long time, the standards turned around the ideal weight, the BMI, the number displayed each morning on the scale. But these figures, although practical, say nothing about the distribution of fats or on the metabolic state of a person. Indeed, according to Dr. Réginald Allouche, nutritionist in Paris, it is not a question of becoming thin at all costs, but of maintaining a good body composition. The idea is therefore to detach yourself from the figures displayed on the scale, but to be more attentive to an area of your particular body.
To be in shape and healthy, it is recommended to take care of your diet and to practice regular physical activity. If you think you have to diet because of a few extra pounds, this nutritionist should guilty you. “What is important is not the weight” confides Dr. Allouche on the media Legend. According to the WHO and French recommendations, aiming for a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered optimal. But beware: the BMI does not distinguish the muscle mass from fat, does not take into account the distribution of fats and can give a misleading image. To find out if you really have to go through the food rebalancing box, start especially by looking at the navel.
Yes, you read that right. According to this nutrition professional, “It is especially the waist that must be looked at and more specifically, the abdominal fat. For women, you must have a size tour less than 88/85 cm and for men, it must be less than 100. If you lose 5 kilos, but your waist has remained the same, that means that you have lost muscle. “ So be sure to consume a diet rich in fiber, quality proteins and good fats. Add regular physical activity and you will avoid getting fat.
So forget about the perfect weight and focus on your waist in order to remain slender and healthy as long as possible.
