However, one thing is safe: a balanced diet, adapted to the level of physical activity, is essential.

By eliminating only two foods from his diet and introducing the intermittent post in the daily routine, Matteo has managed to lose weight naturally, without complicated or restrictive diets, or extreme compromises. And it proves that sometimes the biggest changes come from the simplest decisions.

Gave up two foods: which are these

Matteo Grandi told that, eight months ago, he realized that his eating habits were not suitable. Overwhelmed by the rhythm of life and many daily commitments, they had come to neglect its well-being-both in terms of health and physical appearance. Fortunately, he was aware of the problem in time and managed to find a solution.

The famous Italian chef, holder of a Michelin star, confessed that he had weighed over 185 kilograms. But at one point, something triggered in his mind – a “click”as he himself says – and decided to take serious measures to lose weight. According to him, the only essential ingredient in this process is the will, “The rest comes by itself”.

In order to reach his goal, Grandi stressed that he had to completely give up two categories of key foods: carbohydrates and sugar. This step meant a radical change for him, but he was fully aware that these two elements were the basis of excessive accumulation of kilograms.

Ever since he made this choice, he feels visibly better: he is full of energy, has a clear mind and is much more productive than before. Specifically, the Italian gave up processed foods – “From Easter, to Dospite products”.

With this new food style, the benefits were not delayed: it has lost the first 15 kilograms, the skin was improved, the psoriasis on the elbows has disappeared, and the unpleasant odor of sweating has ceased. All these signs convinced him of one thing: “It was clear that my body was inflamed.”

Post intermittent and sport

The Italian chef said he started playing sports-goes to the room, runs and even skiing. He says he wakes up every morning with an extraordinary mental clarity, totally the opposite of the before, when he was hard to get out of bed.

In order to speed up the weight loss process, Matteo Grandi also introduced the intermittent post in his routine. Eat a first meal at lunch, made up of eggs, salmon, chicken breast and avocado. The second and last of the masses of the day serves it at around 5:00 pm, and consists of green vegetables, fish, meat, seafood or crustaceans.

After this time, it consumes nothing, leaving the body to rest and no longer have to process food or produce insulin. This strategy helped to maintain its constant energy level and balance its metabolism in a natural way.

The limitations of the intermittent post

Although the intermittent post has many demonstrated benefits, many specialists point out that it is not a weight loss method to put into practice and that it can come with various side effects. These include: changes in disposition, fatigue, irritability, eating cravings, difficulty concentrating, dehydration and hydroelectrolytic imbalances.

However, scientific studies show that when combined with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, intermittent fasting can be extremely effective in the weight loss process.
