But <strong>calorie restriction is not just about \u2018eating less and expending more<\/strong>\u2019. In order to lose weight in a sustainable and lasting way,<strong> it is necessary to create conditions<\/strong> for <strong>some habits to be changed in the long term.<\/strong>  <\/p><p>What to eat and where to eat, what foods to buy for home, what balanced options are available at any restaurant\/takeaway\/home delivery service, are all topics covered in consultation so that the <strong>weight loss<\/strong> process is as smooth as possible and all logistics are facilitated, after all, <strong>it is not life that has to adapt to a diet plan<\/strong>, i<strong>t is the diet plan that has to adapt<\/strong> to each person&#8217;s professional and family life.<\/p><p><strong>Losing weight is never easy, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be an ordeal<\/strong>. Keeping your <strong>favourite foods<\/strong> in a weight loss plan is key to its success because it&#8217;s essential that you don&#8217;t feel hungry or deprived during the process. <strong>There&#8217;s no such thing as<\/strong> \u2018<strong>forbidden foods<\/strong>\u2019, but there is the <strong>concept of \u2018damage control\u2019<\/strong> at social meals to <strong>ensure that one weekly meal<\/strong> d<strong>oesn&#8217;t undo all the work of the previous days.<\/strong> <\/p><p>Nowadays, we see many nutritionists developing \u2018their method\u2019 on social media. <strong>Our method is the one that each patient chooses<\/strong>, where the only \u2018non-negotiable\u2019 premises are to reach the end of the day with <strong>calorie restriction and a good amount of protein<\/strong> to ensure that there are no \u2018quick fixes\u2019 for rapid weight loss, where much of the weight lost is muscle mass. This is also why, during face-to-face consultations, we measure various skinfolds and circumferences and measure hand grip strength to ensure that neither muscle mass nor strength is lost. These are the numbers that interest us, much more than the number that appears on the scales.  <\/p><p>In the first month, almost everyone loses weight when they are inside a giant motivational balloon. <strong>Maintaining long-term weight loss<\/strong> when that balloon bursts <strong>requires a change in habits and mindset regarding food.<\/strong> <\/p><p>That is our commitment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b517a8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"
