Who doesn’t dream of losing weight without dieting ? Especially now that summer is upon us, with the inevitable swimsuit season always around the corner, ready to remind us of those pesky excess fat or simply those extra pounds that keep us from buttoning our jeans, many are turning to a diet that will help them lose weight.
Between potions, fasts, deprivation, celebrity remedies, and so on, the world of nutrition and even gossip is teeming with supposed solutions to the problem, but is there really a way to see the needle on the scale go down without going on a diet?
Yes, absolutely, and it’s not just any old Tom, Dick, or Harry Potter person telling us this, but a luminary, Dr. Franco Berrino , former director of the Department of Preventive and Predictive Medicine at the Milan Cancer Institute and founder of the La Grande Via association. Worldwide, one in seven people is obese. In Italy, based on the latest data from the Italian Barometer Obesity Report, reported in the Corriere della Sera, 6 million people are obese, approximately 12% of the adult population.
Obesity is a risk factor for a host of serious health problems that seriously threaten life, which is why it is a real emergency, requiring radical changes, as Berrino says.
