GIFT diet

GIFT Diet (acronym for: Graduality, Individuality, Flexibility and Tone) is a system coined by doctors Attilio Speciani and Luca Speciani, useful for pursuing:

Weight loss in case of overweight
The restoration of the optimal metabolic condition in case of alterations induced by poor diet or lifestyle
The recovery of psychophysical balance.

Specifically, the GIFT diet should intervene above all at the level of metabolism regulation (better insulin impact and preservation of muscle mass) and appetite modulation (hypothalamic control); for this purpose, the GIFT diet makes use of some cardinal principles and rules which, combined and maintained over time, should guarantee the result; In summary:

Abolition of calorie counting
Activation of metabolism and preservation of muscle mass with physical activity
Gradual introduction to the diet
Possibility of replacing foods using food equivalences
Use of ONLY low glycemic index carbohydrates
Elimination of unhealthy, processed foods, rich in preservatives, and junk foods or junk foods
Protein / carbohydrate combination to limit the rebound effect of insulin
Control of the glycemic index and load
Optimal caloric distribution of meals (decreasing throughout the day)
Free fruit and vegetables with the trick of adding them at the beginning of the meal
Generous supply of water and dietary fiber
Long chew
Physical activity with a preference for aerobic effort
Control of food intolerances (DRIA test) which, by triggering the mediators of inflammation, can negatively affect insulin action (the solution is the rotation of foods)
Psychophysical balance; Food can affect mood, just as mood can affect how you eat. "DietaGIFT requires a deep understanding and active removal of this bondage."

GIFT diet recommended to use always simple cooking, without sodium glutamate, use a little extra virgin olive oil and, alternatively, "raw" that of a single cold-pressed seed; moreover, it suggests abolishing pre-packaged products, avoiding added sugars and sweeteners, using (especially in snacks) fresh fruit or unsweetened drinks or vegetable centrifuged.
Furthermore, the GIFT diet suggests consuming at every single meal: a food based on low glycemic index carbohydrates (60g dry), one based on proteins (quantitatively of the same size as the cooked dish based on carbohydrates) and fruit and / or vegetables (quantitatively the same size as the cooked dish of carbohydrates).

GIFT diet: strengths and weaknesses

The GIFT diet is undoubtedly a healthy and correct way of interpreting food therapy, on the other hand, it is certainly not the ideal solution for subjects with low motivation to lose weight; GIFT diet offers gradual, constant and less stressful results ... but for those who NEED a quick visualization of the "first weight loss" this slow progression could be counterproductive.
