6 examples of a balanced meal to lose weight







Dieting too drastic all present a risk of dietary deficiencies.

Concocting well-balanced slimming meals is not very complicated. It is especially important to ensure that we eat in a sufficiently diversified way to avoid any food deficiency: this means using products from each food group (meat and allied foods, fruits, and vegetables, dairy products, starchy foods) every day. You should also avoid consuming too much fat, sugar, and salt: the simplest is to focus as much as possible on homemade dishes because the ready-made preparations of the trade are often too rich in sugars, fats, and salt. It is also necessary to adopt cooking without fat (eg steaming) and bet on aromatic herbs to raise dishes rather than salt (an excess of salt promotes high blood pressure and water retention).

Balanced breakfast choice
Number 1Too often neglected, breakfast is a very important meal: it is he who can recharge the energy after a good night's rest. On the menu: tea or coffee (no sugar), fresh fruit for vitamins and mineral salts (eg pear, apple), two rusks for fiber and a natural yogurt 0%, source of calcium.


Number 2A good homemade smoothie (eg milk, apple, banana, pear) provides both calcium and vitamins to the body. Besides, we also take a bowl of cereals, but we must check the product label. Ideally, breakfast cereals should contain very little sugar and fat, but a lot of fiber (at least 5g of fiber per 100g). A non-sweet hot drink (eg tea, coffee) can complete this menu.

Balanced luncheon of your choice

Number 1 For a well balanced slimming lunch, raw vegetables are served as grated carrots. As the main course, a chicken breast cooked in foil with small vegetables (potatoes and green beans)

Balanced slimming dinner of your choice




Number 1Start with grilled shrimp with garlic as a starter, followed by hot potato and carrot soup with grated cheese. For dessert, we put on a compote of homemade fruit.

New alternative to bariatric surgery

Dr. Michel Gagner, the specialist in bariatric surgery, realized two weeks ago a new intervention which, unlike the techniques favored to date, does not modify the digestive system.  A non-invasive treatment approved less than six months ago by Health Canada, which is now a new option for people with obesity. The technique is based on an already known procedure. People who suffer from cancer of the throat or who are unable to feed by mouth can indeed have a tube placed in the stomach, which goes to the surface of the skin of the abdomen - percutaneous gastrostomy.  Liquid food can be poured directly into the stomach. An intervention is now common. In the case of obese people, who do not want to have bariatric surgery, it's about doing the same thing, but the opposite. Instead of filling the stomach, it is emptied. The procedure involves inserting a tube into the stomach, which goes to the surface of the skin, where it is connected to a button. Half an ...

How to help a loved one lose weight?

Obesity is a pathology recognized as disabling or even disabling. Some overweight people are rejected, others are judged and criticized.  Certainly, junk food, lack of interest and lack of sports activities are involved in these overweight individuals. But in other circumstances, it is more the environment, genetic and educational environment that is undermined. This is why these obese people, those who indulge in their compulsions, are often excluded by society. The latter would like the "big" to take over the body of the evil they are victims.  Thus, overweight people will seek comfort and support from their family or circle of friends. Yet this is not the most recommended alternative. What to avoid Recently, the American journal Personal Relationships (1) publishes a study conducted by the University of Waterloo in Canada. This highlights the counterproductive effect of the pressure of relatives on the overweight of those who are already i...
