Physiological Nutrition is a program of nutritional re-education that works to lose weight and keep the weight off.   (“The holy grail that every diet searches for”).

“This program will change your form of thinking about nutrition and diets  forever”.

The strategy to re-establish nutritional conduct, metabolism and weight (to their original states) is to learn how to eat only in response to hunger and only until satisfaction, utilizing natural food products (Like infants do when they are nursing, or like people do who have naturally healthy weights.…)

The 10 keys of Physiological Nutrition:

(The 10 common denominators of the individuals that achieve losing weight and keeping it off long term are…)

1. To reduce the use of  refined and processed food products.
   
   
2. To abandon diets once and for all.
   
   
3. To learn how to eat only in response to hunger and only until satisfaction is achieved.
   
   
4. To avoid the alternatives of diets and excesses.
   
   
5. Abandon the purging conducts.
   
   
6. To learn to enjoy nutrition in every moment. (nutrition, security and pleasure.)
   
   
7. To provide and make available sufficient natural food products in every moment and place.
   
   
8. To involve gradually all of the members of the family or group.
   
   
9. To do some physical activity that is pleasing, only for pleasure.
   
   
10. Implement all of the measures of the program simultaneously. (strong personal motivation)

Finally, a  “diet” based in the pleasure of eating … !

The book Physiological Nutrution  proposes new and revolutionary concepts in nutritionary re-education, that permit “losing weight and keeping it off” (the holy grail that every diet searches for)

“This book is directed to doctors, nutritionists and other health professionals; and all of the public in general that already contributes to a novel focus of treatment”…

Dr. Lucio Cicchitti. Professor of Clinical Medicine. Faculty of Medicine, Nacional University of Cuyo

Thinness and adequate nutrition are keys to maintaining health and the silhouette, as much as to aspire to longevity with good quality of life; which is why this program is also a valuable strategy to prevent  premature aging …

Physiological Nutrition is a mode of eating that is not restrictive, in that one learns to regulate ingestion based on hunger and fullness, utilizing preferably natural food products.

The proposal is as simple as a revolution; and represents a change of 180 degrees with respect to traditional strategies for losing weight.

To Eat Physiologically is an ability with which everyone is born.  Unfortunately, that inherited capacity is anulled due to civilized methods of nutrition (excesses and diets) and for the indiscrimnating use of artificial food products (refined and industrialized)  that are imposed on us from the earliest points of infancy.

Nursing children, that are born knowing how to eat in a physiological manner, don’t follow the protocol. They ask for their food when they feel hungry and refuse food when they are satisfied; the same as adults who are “naturally thin”.

In the civilization we subordinate nutrition for cultural greed in place of attending to our real physiological necesities.

We regularly use refined and industrialized food products, we go on diets, we exceed or alter ourselves with diets and excesses.

We eat for too many reasons: desire, habit, avidity, compulsion, cravings, guidelines, automatism or addiction to refined things. We also eat for curiosity, anxiety, boredom, etc. But we almost never eat for hunger in the stomach… To even think it seems like eccentricty… !

And hunger is not the same as simply having a desire to eat:
The “civilized desire to eat” almost always responds to a cultural necesity and searches principally for sensory graticification.

In place, the “physiological hunger” is a physical sensation that is perceived in the zone of the stomach. To moderate this type of hunger produces a profound sensation of physical well being; which makes this program a very pleasant experience.

To eat in a physiological manner, one must learn to wait for hunger.
“When one eats only in response to hunger and only until satisfaction is acheived, the sequence of the nutritional cycle is re-established…” (hunger, ingestion, satisfaction, abstinence).
Therefore, the caloric contribution is balanced and at the same time, fixes itself.

The avidity that provokes refined foods, the compulsion that produces diets and excesses leads to bad nutritional habits, it adds up and harnesses, provoking exagggeration of the appetite and loss of control of nutritional conduct… (which we know of as gluttony or voracity)

Fortunately:

Avidity and addictive phenomenons can be prevented reducing the ingestion of refined foods and their derivatives.

The compulsion can be prevented by abandoning diets definitively.

And cultural habits, that bring us to eat in excess, can be modified if the inherited physiological mechanisms are re-established, those that regulate nutritional conduct.

The type of “civilized” nutrition is well tolerated by those who are not susceptible to refined foods. But this method of eating is that which has brought on overweightness and obesity to more than one third of the population of developed countries.

Diets and excercise, which are used universally as a method of weight loss, do not produce effective results, except in certain occasions and only in transitive form …
They do not work for maintaining weight loss for long periods of time.

Why do diets fail?
Diets fail because they produce compulsions to eat that interfere with maintaining the diet. And once the person has acheived the loss of a few pounds, the mechanism of metabolic adaptation is activated.  This mechanism brings on the recuperation of the weight even though the person maintains the diet, in the majority of those who intend to diet.

Diets are not pleasing. And no one does something they don’t like for a long period of time.  This is why diets are destined to fail in the majority of cases.  The thing that makes them useless is that  “they cannot be maintained over a long period of time”.

¿Can the compulsion and metabolic adaptation be counteracted?

Yes, but only if the adopted regimen results as more enjoyable that the diets and excesses; and our program is based solely on the principle of enjoyment…

To eat physiologically is more pleasurable than to go on diets, than to eat in excess or alternate between diets and excesses. And if we learn to eat for hunger, natural food products begin to be more delicious and more tempting than refined products and their derivatives.

The level of adhesion of those who study the program is showingly elevated; to the same point the degree of long term satisfaction of those that decide to adopt it.

However, the detractors are also considered: those that believe living without regularly ingesting salt, sugar, flours, oils, butters, alcoholic beverages and every type of refined food is impossible; even though they can eat freely every type of natural food in response to hunger.

It is necessary to realize an intellectual effort, and also to be arranged to accept new paradigms… Not everyone wants to, and not everyone can…

Like in Noah´s ark, the motto is … “Come if you want... Climb if you can …”

In civilized nutrition, we ingest almost anything to satisfy the whims of the palate.
The pleasure of eating physiologically is obtained each time that hunger of the stomach is mitigated.

“The palate is never satisfied and always wants more. To the contrary, the stomach can be satisfied.” (This is the secret …)

The program is developed in detail in the book Physiological Nutrition (Distal Editora. Buenos Aires 2006 ) and in the digital edition of www.librosenred.com  

Anyone that makes the intellectual effort to read the book will be able to aqcuire all of the knowledge necessary to learn how to eat physiologically.  Also, free advice and recipes can be obtained at info@adelgacemos.com

“Physiological Nutrition will change your manner of thinking about nutrition and diets forever”  If you adopt our program, your nutritional conduct, metabolism and weight will also change.  This is our goal…

We are what we eat; but we eat based on our beliefs.  And to adopt a new form of eating and a new lifestyle, the first things that we need to change are our paradigms. 

Confronting these new paradigms there are three options:

1. Reject the new concept. “This man is crazy … ”
2. To disregard the new concept “We already know all of this …”
3. Try to comprehend it. “The program is amazing for its logic and proposes a new and revolutionary concept in nutritionary re-education.”

Unfortunately, when one decides to adopt new beliefs, the previous knowledge becomes obselete; until it reaches zero.  That is why changes of paradigms are so resistive!

The truth is that, when new beliefs are adopted, the nutritional conduct, the metabolism and the weight are modified in accord, like wagons follow their locomotive:
The students of physiological nutrition learn:

• To value hunger in place of fighting against it.
• To prefer natural food products, in place of resorting compulsively to refined and industrialized food products.
• To stop ingesting each time that satisfaction is accomplished, in place of always eating until one is full.
• And to find in all of it  “an immense fountain of pleasure… “

This program is the result of a meticulous study of clinical and bibliographical investigation.  It summarizes the 10 common denominators of a group of individuals that acheived weight loss and maintained that weight loss for more than 5 consecutive years.

The idea : To rehabilitate the normal mechanisms of autoregulation of the nutritional conduct, the metabolism and the weight for cultural reasons that we have stopped using.

The objective : To achieve the equilibrium in the caloric contribution, to be able to lose weight and maintain the weight loss for a long period of time, instead of dieting.

The benefits : “To control the weight, to restrain the deterioration of aging, to increase the availability of energy, to optimize the cerebral function and to improve the sexual yeild.“

(Dr. Pedro Galo Aguilar C. Colegio Nacional de Medicina Antienvejecimiento. Monterrey Méjico)

The 10 steps of the PROGRAM  (that are are listed in the following pages) are simple measures, medically sensible, possible and sustainable for a long period of time; because they involve a regimen without diet.

2: To abandon diets definitively (they do not work for losing weight and maintaining weight loss).
One must convince himself that diets do not work.
Diets produce compulsion and metabolic adaptation.

3: Re-establish the nutrtional cycle: Hunger, ingestion, satisfaction, abstinence. Learn to eat only for hunger and only until satisfaction. (Or: abandon excesses)
To learn to recognize hunger of the stomach.
To learn to recognize the sensation of satisfaction.

4: To avoid alternating between diets and excesses, to be able to achieve the equilibrium in the caloric contribution.
Recognize (and correct) the errors of civilized nutrition that bring us to alternate between diets and excesses.

5: To abandon the purgative conducts (fasting, vomiting, over-exercising, recriminating oneself, criticizing, etc. to lose weight) because all of those conducts cause health problems.
Let’s stop suffering… To eat is a right that no one should deny themselves!

6: To learn to enjoy  from nutrition in any moment, obtaining simulaneously: nutrition, security and pleasure (like during nursing)
The best part of the program is that food can always be enjoyed.
The true pleasure of eating provokes the perception of satisfaction.

7: Provide and make available natural food products in sufficient quantity in any moment or place.
It is possible. And it is the strategy for recuperating control. (Don’t be embarassed …) It only needs to be availble to bring natural food products that are most pleasing to us; to eat when we are hungry …

8: Involve gradually the members of your family or group, without pressuring them.
It is the magic formula for achieving a definite nutrional re-education.
We are gregarious beings:“We learn to eat in a group, we eat in a group and we can only modify our erroneous nutritional customs if we attempt in a group.”

9: To do some physical activity that is enjoyable, only for pleasure and recreation.
It is the ideal complement to Physiological Nutrition.

10: Implement all measures of the program simultaneously, over a strong personal motivation.
It is the “key of keys” of the program.

IMPORTANT: Consult with your doctor before implementing modifications in your nutrition or lifystyle.

This program proposes a conjunction of changes: in the type of foods, the nutritional conduct and in the attitudes we adopt about food.

“ Little changes in our beliefs about nutrition and diets, in the attitudes we adopt about food,  in the provision of the immediate surroundings and in the form of conducting the nutrition of the pertaining group; can  produce permanent changes in the nutritional conduct, the metabolism and the weight …”

It is just about  “learning to eat like people who are naturally thin”

To learn how to eat is possible and easy.
It is like learning how to ride a bicycle.  It takes time, and it never turns out well in the first try.  But once that it is learned, this method of nutrition (frugal and extremely pleasureable) can be adopted for ever.

Artificial foods (created by man) are concentrated and hypocaloric substances; responsable for producing or aggravating the majority of the diseases of the civilization. Salt: arterial hypertension and water retention. Sugar and white flours: being overweight, obesity and diabetes. Oils, refined fats, margarine, and butter: being overweight, elevation of triglycerides and cholesterol. Alcohol: produces addiction, disease of the liver and neurotoxicity; also can cause being overweight, family violence and traffic accidents.

These refined foods, and those that contain refined ingredients are poor in non caloric nutrients (vitamins, elements in small amounts, minerals, fibers and functional components). But it is very difficult to abandon them because they produce avidity and because they are “addictive”; a circumstance that the industry takes advantage of.

Artificial foods lack the majority of non caloric nutrients and those that produce fullness contained in natural foods; that are rejected in the refining processes, destroyed in the industrial preparation or are thrown to the garbage during culinary elaboration.

“If we believe that it is impossible to live without consuming refined food products, we may as well call it a lost battle.”

The integral natural food products, for example: wheat, corn, rice, other cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, seeds, milk, yogurt, meat and eggs (used with knowledge and in the correct amounts) are our best allies for rehabilitating  the physiological mechanisms of autoregulation and re-establishing corporal weight.

Civilized nutrition is excessive, diets are restrictive and artificial food products are addictive.
In conclusion: diets, excesses, and artificial foods threaten our future as individuals, families, communities and a world.

Overweightness and obesity have aquired the condition of epidemic “and no one supposes that the tendency is going to change, if not, completely the contrary”. Each time people are fatter and each time they are heavier. As a peak, nutritional inconveniences are the order of the day.

““We should all do something, and soon … “

Physiological Nutrition offers (to all of us) “a possible alternative before diets fail.”
This program will help you recuperate your health, silhouette, well being, and will also give the sensation of triumph of having achieved your own self control.
