More precisely, the purpose of the article is to show a "classical method", academic, aimed at a "diet that allows the reduction of excess fat mass (FM), not weight in the strict sense of the term. The "goal of a slimming diet must" in fact be an improvement in body composition, that is, the ratio of FFM (lean mass) and FM, therefore of the state of health, not a simple weight reduction - which can also be obtained by poorly nourishing the person. .
We will not talk about differentiated systems, such as the metabolic diet, the dissociated diet, the zone diet, the discharge diet, the Phillips hypo-hypercarbohydrate diet, the pH diet or alkaline diet, the Paleolithic diet or paleodieta, the Scarsdale diet, the Gift diet, the Lemme diet, the Atkins diet, the Mayo diet etc. Each of these schools takes up the space of a textbook and, with rare exceptions, they are usually not very shareable.
We remind you that what we are going to explain has purely a popularizing and informative function but, being dietetics a very serious discipline that requires years of study and practice or training, for an ad hoc job it is advisable to contact authorized professionals such as dieticians.
What we are going to summarize in a concise way is a simple method to evaluate one's basic anthropometric characteristics, therefore the caloric requirement, the breakdown into macronutrients and the amount of meals - with some practical reference.
Attention! Subjects <18 years of age, pregnant women, nurses and people with pathologies will not be taken into consideration. The basic anthropometric estimate and caloric needs also exclude athletes and particularly muscular subjects.
