Calorie restriction, blind sugar cut, oil removal ... all waste !? Diet charisma talks about "a diet to lose weight beautifully"

What you need for a diet is not to put up with unreasonable thinness, but to learn and to eat properly.

When you hear that, a dieter who thinks "I want to lose weight immediately and get results" will feel "it seems to be troublesome". Therefore, there are many people who jump to an easy-to-understand (and extreme) diet method that "you can lose weight if you eat only XX", while others say that you have to do exercise and muscle training desperately for XX hours. There is.

However, if you have some serious dieting experience, you know. Even if you trick yourself into trying an extreme diet that doesn't suit your lifestyle, it won't last. Most of the time, I get tired and quit, but my heart (instinct) screams and runs to eat sick, and in some cases, I break my body and suffer from mental illness.

Yes, a diet that most people start casually has a huge impact on our lives. That is why it is necessary to carefully determine "what kind of person is advocating the method".

A new book by August Hagesheimer, the author of many diet books, has been published. His strength is "diet method that also serves as anti-aging", and he has introduced the diet method that he devised so far. As the title suggests, this "Science of Diet with the Minimum Effort" (Kodansha) is a book that explains how a proper diet is more essential than exercise for a diet. At the same time, it explains why the well-known diets that are popular (for example, extreme sugar restriction, calorie restriction, and unreasonable muscle training) are "waste".

In the first chapter, for those who have experience working on various diets (and giving up on the way), there are "10 wasteful efforts" that come with a bang. For example, the heading is as follows.

・ 100 times abdominal muscles to get hungry ・ Running for 1 hour every day, muscle training ・ Eat zero calorie foods ・ Blind sugar cut ・ Be patient not to take oil

Don't you remember? When thinking "let's go on a diet," Hagesheimer slashes the famous dieting method that many people come up with. But there are two reasons why his words are persuasive.

First, Mr. Hagesheimer is a researcher with a PhD in nutritional science. After reading and verifying many papers, he practices and devises with his own body. Therefore, he explains "why the method is wrong" in an easy-to-understand manner, mainly from the viewpoint of nutritional science, using evidence books and dissertations. Another strength of him is that he has lived in Japan for a long time and understands the Japanese diet. That is why we can propose specific eating habits that are easy to incorporate into our daily lives.

The body is made of what you eat every day. To be firm and energetic, you need proper nutrition and knowledge of how to eat. And if you can get it, it will be a lifetime property.

Mr. Hagesheimer, who states this, generously gives his "property" to his readers. The diet method he advocates is very simple. Please refer to this book for detailed practical methods, but the outline is as follows.

・ Eat good quality oil (fat) properly ・ Sugar (carbohydrate) may be taken up to the size of a fist per meal ・ Eat enough protein from eggs, meat and fish ・ Calorie restriction and cholesterol level restriction Don't eat / don't eat (do not lengthen hunger)

It is a fact that excess sugar is stored as body fat due to excessive intake of sugar. However, if you cut it extremely, there is a high risk that you will get fat due to rebound or poor metabolism. To avoid that, it's important to take "moderately", and Hagesheimer describes the amount as "fist-sized" in his experience.

Also, when you run out of sugar, you need good quality oil. When you run out of sugar, your brain "gets a strong appetite and tries to replenish sugar", but to prevent that, "give nutrients to the blood as an energy source to satisfy the brain." The urge to do so does not occur. The nutrition is not sugar, but good fat, or oil. "

In addition, using the results of recent research, it is explained how many mistakes are made in the recognition of calorie and cholesterol levels. If you read them, you may be a little foolish to calculate yourself while looking at the back of the package.

Chapter 4 introduces Mr. Hagesheimer's daily diet.

(1) Imagine a platter and fill half of it with green leafy vegetables (2) Place the main dish and put rice or bread in the extra space (3) Finally oil

I tried this one plate myself, but the space for the staple food is unexpectedly small. Half of the plate was a salad, and when I put a grilled fish and a boiled egg on it, it was served with a little less rice than just a fist.

This clarity is appreciated by us as we spend our busy days. If you find this eating habit to be "difficult", you can make a cheat day (once a week, the day you eat as much as you like), which is a point that you can continue without frustration. is.

However, the most disturbing thing may be the picture of Mr. Hagesheimer on the cover of this book. As of 2017, if you look at his toned body and glossy skin, which is 55 years old, his goal is to be a "healthy, beautiful and thin diet", and he is never "squashing (or mushy) even if he overdoes it in the short term. Because you can realize that it is not something that "becomes".
