Weight loss with chocolate

Lenny Neimark, the nutritionist who introduced the world to the Pasta, Popcorn and Chocolate Diet, says that chocolate can help you lose weight. His new diet, combining chocolate, popcorn and pasta, is certainly something crazy, revolutionary and, above all, new in the world of weight loss and shedding.

A diet that speeds up the metabolism of food

The author of the chocolate diet mentioned above says that this diet speeds up the metabolism. A slow metabolism is one of the culprits behind the extra kilos. If the body uses the food we eat too slowly, it means that food starts to build up and be stored in the body. Outwardly, this is seen as fat rings, which none of us like. But Lenny Neimark says his diet fixes this problem. It speeds up our slow metabolism, which means our bodies use up the food we eat faster. So we actually lose weight with the help of food. That''s why the chocolate diet is supposed to be the answer for those who find it really hard to give up their favourite foods.

In addition to a faster metabolism, the author of the diet also highlights the positive effects that dark chocolate has on our bodies.

In particular, there is a lot of talk about antioxidants, which help to lower high blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease.

But the drawbacks?

Critics of the diet point to its monotony. A diet consisting of pasta, chocolate and popcorn is not really the most varied diet in the world. A menu that is virtually the same every day can be varied by changing the sauce on the pasta and salad and by eating other vegetables or fruit. But to be honest, many of the diets that many of us follow today are much more monotonous and much more strict in their food choices.

Menu and guidance

• Breakfast: Neimark recommends fruit salad or cereal with low-fat milk and strawberries for breakfast, which can also be replaced by other fruit.
• Morning snack: Popcorn and fruit of choice.
• Lunch: Pasta with sauce of choice or pasta salad or classic salad.
• Afternoon snack: Popcorn and vegetables or fruit milkshake.
• Dinner: Pasta with vegetable sauce (tomatoes, garlic, peppers, etc.) and salad or steamed vegetables.
• Night snack: Popcorn or up to 30 grams of dark chocolate.

As you can see, the diet is certainly unusual. It is important to stick to your menu and to reach for dark chocolate or fruit between meals when you feel hungry, rather than forbidden foods. Also make sure that the sauces you use on pasta and salad are as low in fat as possible.

Itis also a good idea to follow the list of prohibited foods: alcoholic, carbonated and sugary drinks, coffee, salt, sugar, oil, salty and sugary snacks, fatty fruit and vegetables, fruit high in sugar, nuts and seeds, fried foods, fatty dairy products and red meat. Do not eat or try to eat as little as possible of the foods on this list during your diet.

But will this diet really work?

It is up to you to find out whether this diet will work for you or not. It is true that eating only chocolate, popcorn and pasta is not the most balanced diet, so it is a good idea to add as much fruit and vegetables as possible to your diet. But remember that no diet will instantly make your weight problems go away. If you want to lose weight, you need to change your lifestyle and add a regular healthy diet and plenty of exercise. This is the only way you will be able to keep the slim line you have gained after this diet.
