Vi sono diverse ragioni per cui la preparazione dei pasti in anticipo può essere estremamente conveniente: Risparmiare tempo: si cucina, si fa la spesa e si lavano le stoviglie una sola volta Controllo della dieta: avere pasti strategici pronti aiuta a combattere la tentazione del cibo spazzatura Risparmiare denaro: acquistare in quantità è conveniente; si risparmia anche in trasporti e detergenti In particolare, questo articolo descrive un metodo di conservazione pratico e semplice da adottare, utile anche per periodi lunghi. ...

Meal prepping in advance and quantity is beneficial for three main reasons: Save time: cooking, shopping, and washing dishes Diet control: a batch of strategic meals helps fight junk food Save money: buying in quantity is cheaper; fewer supermarket trips and less use of cleaning supplies Specifically, in this article I’ll explain how to prepare meals for several months using a practical technique that’s easy to implement. Meal Prep Pouches The advantage of meal‑prep pouches, as opposed to classic plastic containers, is the compact space and the reduced air inside (less air equals fewer bacteria). The less space our pouches use, the more we’ll be able to store and benefit without cooking again. ...

Ho sempre trovato difficile dimagrire lentamente. Purtroppo sono una buona forchetta e a volte vedo nel cibo una ricompensa al termine di una giornata stressante. Autocontrollarmi una volta addentato il primo boccone mi è difficile, mentre paradossalmente l'astensione dal pasto mi è decisamente più semplice. Non soffro di obesità: ho sempre praticato sport e da 16 anni pesi in palestra. Semplicemente, con il pretesto della prova costume alle porte e conscio di qualche chilo di troppo, mi sono impegnato per rimediare. Dieta del Digiuno Intermittente Così da qualche settimana ho scelto di adottare il digiuno intermittente o intermittent fasting (IS). Per me non è la prima volta: mangio una volta al giorno e dunque tra un pasto e l’altro intercorrono mediamente 23 ore. Questa dieta prevede di concentrare i pasti in una finestra ridotta (8 ore o meno, fino all’estremo di un pasto al giorno, ma non oltre) con diverse modalità: tutti i giorni, a giorni alterni o solo in alcuni giorni della settimana. L’idea è di simulare cicli naturali di abbondanza e scarsità. ...

I've always found it difficult to lose weight slowly. I'm a hearty eater and sometimes see food as a reward at the end of a stressful day. Once I start, self‑control can be hard—but, paradoxically, strict abstention is much easier. I'm not obese thanks to regular sport, yet—with the “beach‑body readiness” pretext—I decided to shed a few extra kilos. The Intermittent Fasting Diet A few weeks ago I chose to adopt intermittent fasting (IF). I’m not new to it: I often eat once a day, so between one meal and the next I wait ~23 hours. The goal is to concentrate meals in a small window: 8 hours or less (down to one meal a day, but not beyond). It can be practiced daily, on alternate days, or only on certain days of the week. The approach emulates natural cycles of abundance and shortage: in nature an adult would likely have one main meal per day with some snacks, not the six balanced meals many diets consider indispensable. ...

*I remember one time that I was under a pretty heavy barbell doing chest presses. I was listening to the podcast and the host made a very good joke, I lost my temper, I almost dropped the weight on myself and bursted out laughing in the middle of a otherwise very silent but also very populated gym. Luckily, I kept a bit of self control and saved possibly a few ribs. So be advised, and **listen responsibly ;)**.* The discovery happened because I wanted to employ my daily commute to work to deepen my fitness knowledge amongst other things, confrontation is something that does not finds much space at the gym, people get there to workout and not much to talk. Scrolling through the iTunes podcast directory, health section, I found the Get Up and Code podcast and got intrigued. The description stated fitness for developers so I checked it out, hoping for a nicely tailored approach that might help me leverage some technical skills. ...
