More on that regime, the more it grows! Let your body what it needs! This is the credo of Dr. Jean-Philippe Zermati which advocates an approach diametrically opposed to schemes of all kinds. Focus on a system where it is forbidden to forbid!

Nutritionniste training regime, Dr Jean Philippe Zermati quickly interested in the psychology of food act, alongside including a renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Gerard Apfelbaum. They founded an association, the GROS (Task Force on Obesity and overweight), which is fighting against the plans, what they are, to refocus on its own individual feel and control systems, this so that it can achieve its weight morphologique and not one that can be imposed by the dictates aggressive fashion. Two major books written by Dr. Zermati, better understand this theory and apply the method ( "The end of the regimes" and "Losing weight without dieting).

Method principle Zermati

And it was enough to make peace with food and with itself to find the ideal weight? Noting that most people are obsessed by the kilos and are therefore under permanent weight loss, frustrated by banned, Dr Zermati proposes simply to get rid of the cognitive restriction, which is that is private, "s interdise", "rid ourselves" of pleasure and his true feelings.

The regime in practice Zermati

The idea is to start first by "observed eating", ie to sift noting its power on a notebook for about ten days not only the quantity and content of taken food, but also the conditions (with whom, time, location ...) and especially the impressions that are related: anger, envy, hunger, satiety, stress ...

Once a clearer idea of the "food landscape", it should be closer to real food sensations, and therefore no longer visible, but to concentrate. In a way, it is to eat only if it was really hungry, not when it wants, while removing the sources of tension arising during meals or snacks. Of course, the goal is to stop eating when not hungry. To receive this feeling, we should not wait to loosen the belt several notches to say "that s it, I quit." In more subtle, eating slowly, you can see the signs of glut. The final stage of this "method" which until then was still very physical, is entering a phase of recovery "psychological". This is out of the taboo foods "forbidden" for instance by replacing several days during his lunch only a chocolate or cakes .. A "will"? Not really, because the previous steps have learned to stop at the right time, ie not to eat beyond hungry. Suddenly, the counter of calories that the brain is naturally being again, do not worry, we do not make weight.

Effectiveness of the scheme Zermati

Successful if we lose weight? In fact, if we lose, it will be only the kilos that are really unnecessary. As a result, and it s a good point, this method, which is anti-regime par excellence, does not promise any particular loss kilo per week or month.

Advantages and disadvantages of the scheme Zermati

But what are the advantages and disadvantages of this method? Petit panorama:

Advantages: This method has the merit of being honest and respecting the individual, freeing the constraints of a thinness that weakened physically and psychologically. With this method, it becomes self-regulates its own weight and function calls into all its systems, including feelings of hunger and satiety, and this famous calorie counter "internal". The last stop will be at the right time and still keep a stable energy balance, so not to gain weight.

Disadvantages: Its relative weakness is the involvement of social, indeed, once again "imposed", but as is the need as much money that requires finding a job, getting up every morning in good hours, to take a train, bus or car ... and pushing to get at the table more or less hours to fix. So, do not eat at noon, for example because there was not hungry, could just make it at the most unwelcome: in meetings, at his workplace, friends ... Similarly, the stage of "chocolate" or at least "the food that was taboo" may also create confusion among many individuals. Indeed, if due to previous steps, they will eat what their hunger and not beyond, without risk to grow at this game, there will soon be tempted to settle for a single category of foods (chocolate, cakes, sweets, crisps ...) to feed, rather than exercise, but new food. If you can only eat things that no one likes to grow, while Banco, I take the life "religion" psycho-nutrition. But what about the quality of food, the famous balance? Admittedly, there is no question of "medicalising" food, but if you eat for pleasure, we must not lose sight that we also eat to stay alive, in good health, and for this you must know or learn how to regulate eating varied. Like you can not lose weight by not eating properly as fruits or vegetables, you can not lose much by not eating the sweets, even "reasonable calories. Any food that exclusive does not reflect the diversity and all the food groups is harmful to health. Nutrition and dietary education should not be limited to weight control, but also to ensure the body what it needs to live. Today, studies show that dietary imbalance contributes to the occurrence of many diseases prevalent in France (cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease ...) as genetics, environmental factors (physical inactivity, pollution ...) and, of course, physiological factors.

In conclusion, this plan may apply to all, especially in the process of rehabilitation or the "stabilization" (eat while listening), but coupled with a varied diet in which the foundations of the balance are met.
