Correctly modifying your diet helps you lose weight and offers other health benefits
Nutritional rehabilitation is a process of learning and behavioral change. It helps you incorporate healthy eating habits. “In the process of re-education, people become aware of most of their dietary mistakes and end up understanding what needs to be changed,” explains nutritionist Márcia Loureiro.
No food restrictions
An interesting point is that in this method there is no total restriction of any nutrient e there are no big bans. “Their habits, preferences, culture and socio-economic characteristics are respected, because the closer they are to their reality, the easier the process of change will be,” completes the nutritionist.
adapting to the routine
The first step is to reduce the consumption of those things that are harmful and to give preference to healthy food. The nutritionist will tailor your routine based on the foods you enjoy and help you understand that healthy foods can also be tasty.
recommended to all
Food re-education is not only recommended for those want to drop weight, it can also be indicated for weight gain or to prevent and fight disease. “The science of nutrition has evolved a lot in the last few decades and today it is known that food, combined with lifestyle (exercise, stress control, smoking, etc.), has a huge influence on prevention and control of chronic diseases,” says Márcia Laurel.
The nutritionist says that for re-education it is necessary: to know foods, which must be learned with the guidance of a qualified professional; be willing to change habits and, above all, have discipline, as it is a process to be maintained throughout life.
Differences between food re-education and diet
Many people believe that nutritional reeducation is a form of dieting, but there is a big difference between the two. When you are on a diet you have to do restrictions on certain foods until the desired weight is reached. However, this weight is regained soon after, because the person goes back to eating the same high-calorie foods that he stopped.
Food re-education, in turn, consists in controlling errors and successes in eating and in introducing new healthy habits for possible weight loss, through balanced meals that do not require prohibitions.
