What is flexible dieting and its benefits 

Every day we hear more about flexible diet and its success. Success due to the food philosophy that this diet proposes. Let us take a closer look at what it is, benefits and how it works. 

Flexible diet: what is and how it works? 

The flexible diet is a new dietary approach which, unlike super restrictive low-carb diets, assumes that you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight. The key is that you must eat the right amounts and proportions of it. It is a revolutionary approach, because the Flexible Diet is a diet plan that allows you to lose weight by taking advantage of the nutrients contained in all foods (yes, even your favorites!) without eliminating foods you love, or your favorite foods from the diet! Moreover, the flexible diet is a weight loss diet in which it is allowed to eat any food, keeping the calories and macronutrients that are assimilated daily under control. 

This does not mean that you can follow an unbalanced diet and only eat fatty foods. But that in a healthy and balanced diet, considering the assimilated macronutrients, it is also possible to include slightly less healthy foods. 

With the flexible diet you can therefore easily eat pizza on Saturday evening, a portion of fries or indulge in the whim of a dessert without feeling guilty and without gaining weight. 

Flexible diet benefits 

Flexing diet working sounds awesome, but what are its real benefits? 

Let’s see them together:  

You will not have fixed patterns and...no boredom! 

The flexible diet is not a preset diet with a fixed menu, but a food style that allows you to lose weight without unnecessary deprivation. So, you won't have a list of what you need to eat every day, nor to weigh every ounce you eat. 

It is also sustainable in the long term 

More than a real diet, the flexible one is a sustainable approach to diet that you can always follow, without going hungry or having repressed food cravings. The factors that make it difficult to follow most diets, in fact, are precisely food deprivation and the sense of hunger which is sometimes difficult to resist. The flexible diet is a sustainable diet over time precisely because it does not prohibit any type of food, not even sweets, fried foods, and fats in general. 

It is suitable for everyone 

In addition to being sustainable over time, the great advantage of this approach is that the resulting food plan will be extremely personalized. When the indications of a diet do not suit the person and their habits, it is easy that, after an initial period of enthusiasm and adherence to the diet, it is no longer pursued. Personalization, combined with sustainability, is therefore the key to achieving results, for which (a lot) of time is needed. 

It is a nutritionally complete diet 

Macros or macronutrients are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, or all those foods that provide energy. Each person, according to their needs, must take a certain number of macronutrients every day in the right percentages. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats in fact have different functions for the sustenance of our body and must always be balanced in a healthy and correct diet. The flexible diet takes this into account and will allow you to assimilate all the nutrients you need, resulting in a healthy and balanced diet.
