In this period of confinement, it is not only the hair or the beard that grows. There is no mystery, cloistered at home, not only you tend to snack more than usual but also you eat too much (you have to compensate) and especially unbalanced. With ready meals, stuffed with sugar, fat and salt, taken out of the freezer at every meal, the pounds have accumulated. We must react. And as going out for more than an hour has become prohibited, you will have to be careful or even turn to a diet. And there are loads of them.
There is one, the “keto diet”, which has been all the rage for some time across the Atlantic, which seems interesting. As proof, it was adopted by Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna or even Halle Berry. It makes you want. But this ketogenic diet, as it is called in France, remains complicated to achieve. Of course, with plenty of fresh produce, scales for weighing and other meters for dosing, the operation must be possible, but morning, noon and evening…
Directly at home
Because you have to know, to succeed, you have to drastically reduce the food intake of carbohydrates to 10% (instead of around 50% in normal times) and favor a diet very rich in proteins (20 to 30 %) and lipids (60% to 70%). The goal is to change your metabolism by encouraging the body to draw its vital energy from the fat reserves - the ones you just want to separate from - while maintaining a good supply of proteins in order to keep your muscles. Can you cook this for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
This is why a French start-up, Eatology, had the idea to make this kitchen for you without you leaving the house. And that's good, in this period of confinement. The purpose of the maneuver is to make you melt quickly. The ketogenic diet produces almost the same physiological effects as fasting while eating! So, after having made the happiness of Hong Kongers, to whom Eatology has been offering its diets for 5 years, here it is in France, and more precisely to begin, in Paris.
Its desire is to offer a high-end service both in terms of the freshness and quality of its products and in terms of service. Everything is cooked day by day, - a former chef de partie from Ducasse is also in the kitchen, and dropped off at the customer's place, always by the same delivery man, between 7 and 10 am the same morning at your workplace . Its leaders make it a point of honor, even in these difficult times.
Several formulas
Eatology offers the choice between 3 formulas and, depending on your weight, your hunger or your age, 3 caloric levels: 1200, 1500 and 1800 kilocalories.
Of course, it depends on where you start, but even with 1800 kilocalories per day, you have to hang on and not give in to snacking. The positive side is that a particular effort is given to the presentation and the taste. We have the right to breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner. All served in individual portions which for some will only be reheated in the oven or in the microwave. We will of course say goodbye to aperitifs, bread and sugars of all kinds. As a result, your body will trigger several complex metabolic pathways allowing rapid and consequent weight loss thanks to the melting of your fat reserves. It's all the secret. But beware, this diet may not be supported by everyone and you may have some questions about it. That's good, the Eatology site is full of advice distilled by a nutritionist dietitian DE, coach and certified mental trainer, who can take care of you personally if necessary.
Anyway, to get back on track in 3 or 4 weeks, without shopping and without cooking, it is a solution not to be overlooked. Especially since Eatology also offers two other formulas, the “Low Carb” intermediate diet to start gently and the so-called “Well-being” solution, a sort of Mediterranean diet, to stay in shape all year round and ensure a good supply of nutrients and vitamins.
Price: From 28 to 45 euros.
