Weight Loss Diet

By the term “diet” or “standard of living”, we mean the whole of the food ration and those devices applied to it, such as its variation and its replacement, the processes and cooking of food, the number of meals daily.

There is no ideal diet, valid for all people, as the individual variability is very great; in fact, in addition to providing the body with the calories needed for its physiological needs, the diet must consider the habits and cultural traditions of the individual himself.

The dietary rules to be observed concern the organism and food:

  • For the organism it is necessary to know the physiological situation, the total caloric requirement and the subdivision in nutritive principles.
  • For foodstuffs, it is necessary to know the body composition, the assimilation coefficients and the cooking techniques to maintain the nutritional properties of the food.

The diet to lose weight is a particular diet addressed to subjects who are overweight or with pathological characteristics such as obesity.

In these diets, to be carried out under the strict control of the Nutritionist, particular foods are administered that have characteristics suitable for the pathology in question.
