Legumes are a good choice, because they lower the glycemic index. Let’s move on to the controversial fresh fruit. Berrino recommends eating the sugariest fruits, like grapes, figs, and bananas, in moderation, while everything else is fine. As for dried fruit, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios, while high in calories, help keep you from gaining weight.
Let’s move on to the fourth rule , which consists of avoiding fattening foods, namely “ultra-processed” foods. This means no chips, potatoes, sugary drinks, processed meats (hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, and cured meats), red meat, unsweetened fruit juices, refined flours, commercial sweets, and butter. In the Corriere della Sera newspaper, the expert commented: “It’s better to eat human food: whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruit, and only occasionally meat.” Now we know how to lose weight without dieting, thanks to these simple rules from Dr. Berrino, which require no effort but results, as long as you follow them to the letter.
