Lived my face obesity and its Diet.
A long time ago that I am interested in dietetics. To be more precise, since 1976, when I took my position as "chef" at Clinique Thermal Cantonale de Lavey-les-Bains nowadays called "Les Bains de Lavey"
When I took office, I inherited patientssouffrant obesity. At the time the post of dietitian much less that of cook dietitian did not exist, so I had to save myself.
I soon realized that to prepare meals for my patients were anything but tasty and hear
ty.
At the time, who are obese myself, I was following the orders of doctors for different patients of the institution, I never thought that one day I will be faced with this problem.
Twenty years later, after many kilos, I was an accident cardiovascular asculaire partly due to my overweight and then I was really confronted with this problem.
Gain weight until becoming obese is an insidious phenomenon.As you store fat little by little, you do not see big. Even the day when your wife makes you thinking "you should pay attention to your weight." Upset when you reply "it is better to want pity! "
It must be said that his cursed kilos you do not see them coming (and remain), even every morning you look in the mirror. You notice that your well size you trimballez two beautiful l
you trimballez two beautiful love handles and your stomach tends to rely on your belt.
So you give good conscience by saying "Neutral ... This did not quite serious, and I have more than twenty years! "Coming so much wrong! In my case, "myocardial infarction" and icing on the cake (if I may say so) triple coronary bypass.
On your hospital bed with pipes that you leave all sides, you have time to reflect on the situation, and how well do to recover your weight to form.But how? Follow a plan? Ever. I know too well the effects to be charged. Tell me that I should eat for life boring stuff and served in infinitesimal doses of the genre: "Soup moulin - steak, steamed vegetables, apple with water - milk and fruit or all day for months for the same food Finally inevitably resume by weight.
Moi, who has a good shot range, which enjoys friendly, and small dishes with friends, the very idea sends shivers down my back.
Unfortunately, I had no choice. To make good weight (oups., a slip) according to the results of my tests, I also suffered from diabetes 2, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, arthritis and so on. All diseases accompanying obesity.
What was certain was that I had to change any case cease hygiene alimentaire.Rentré to my home, I spent my nights a look into my notes and books dealing with the diet.
My goal was multiple, prepare: dishes, eating satiety, while maintaining a pleasant social life.
Having worked several weeks on the topic, I highlighted some foods that should not be eaten together at the same meal, others should be cut down or even eliminated. Still others, delayed in time.
I then put my findings into practice and September 1999 to April 2000 spent a weight of 120 kg to 90 kg. Weight loss that was proven by my doctor (gastroenterologist - lung - cardiologist - orthopedic)
Currently, no change in my weight is reached. (Exit the Yoyo). My arthritis and my diabetes are more than a bad memory, my sleep apnea have disappeared and my cholesterol was importantly decreased.
During the "phase" of weight loss, various physiological factors that attracted my attention. At the end of each meal in place of a feeling of drowsiness and an irresistible desire to seat m'affaler in a for (digest), the opposite happened, I kind of table replete with energy increased tenfold (l 'Feel recharged my batteries to the mouth!), My nights are far less agitated, my sleep is peaceful again whereas before, (in the words of my wife), I kept during gesticulate all night.
My skin has also undergone a metamorphosis, when my doctor planned surgery, against all odds she gave up without unsightly ribs. My hair has also benefited from the change, dull, bold, and falling by hundreds are now bright and healthy.
What about the psychological factors or a sense of pride and self-respect.The feeling the "enjoyment" I met him in the eyes of others. When I was reviewing, parents, friends, work colleagues reviewed more for ages.
Observe in their eyes, surprise, disbelief, see the admiration is a feeling that you an intense pleasure. I even used the "Sir" and continued "But ... you are? "How? When? What kind? For how long? etc. ... Ironically, it was only then that I realized to have really changed. Even now when I look at photos of my "big time" I do not recognize myself in the Michelin man than I was.
When I look with new eyes, I understand better why my heart problem and the consequences caused. Therefore, I am much more attentive to my body and I take great care in practice the only sport in my reach, the daily walk. In retrospect, I wish not to be aware of the risks involved.I very well could stay!
When I read or I, "in the fight against obesity, at the gym! "Yes!. but do it in addition to a feeding and especially taking into account your health and your physical condition.
I guess you follow this advice to the letter, and practice swimming (sport I love) with a desire to lose weight at any cost! What would have happened? I believe I am no longer there to tell you about my experience!
Because it is essential not delude ourselves, physical activity through sport you can more quickly eliminate toxins, strengthen and / or develop your muscles,
improve your lung capacity etc ... But in no case the sport is in itself a panacea for eliminating your weight.
My experience showed me that there is only one way to discover and maintain its healthy weight.
It was change my eating habits.In addition to a sport suited to my physical condition. My metabolism did the rest.
