Chrono-nutrition
® is not a diet, but a way of rebalancing food, allowing one to reach a
well balanced body shape.
All foods are allowed, provided they are eaten in the right quantity at
the right time! |
|
Good food and right quantities of essential elements
necessary for our body would reduce the occurrence of many diseases.
|
| |
Approved by IREN (European Institute for Research on
Nutrition), chrono-nutrition is not only a means to control one's shape
and weight, but is also a way to control the cholesterol's metabolism
and non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

Chrono-nutrition®
|
Based on nutrition,
chrono-nutrition is a method developed by Dr. Delabos with Professor
Jean-Robert Rapin. It allows any person (man, woman, child or senior)
to reach a well balanced body shape,
by loosing or gaining weight or simply redistribute weight from one
body area to another, only by eating food at the right body's
biological time. Chrono-nutrition is not a diet (with the often seen
"yo-yo" dieting), is not restrictive
nor does involve deprivation: one can eat almost all food - you
can continue to eat chips, chocolate, cheese, butter, provided you respect schedules and quantities!

Biological rhythms: the chrono-biology®
|
| |
Most
living organisms, including human beings, are subject to daily and
seasonal variations. Biological rhythms are a feature of life.
While this is true for the body as a whole, it is also true at the cell
level: each cell's function is carried during a specific time slot
(only one function can be carried at a time). Chrono-Nutrition is based
on chrono-biology to define at what biological time a given food can be
eaten. |

A typical day with chrono-nutrition®
|
 |
The breakfast should be rich in fatty acids and slow carbohydrates: it
will usually be based on bread, butter and various cheeses. The bread
provides fiber, wholemeal bread being the best
|
 |
Lunch
includes proteins (animal or other) and associated carbohydrates: it
should be rich in meat, accompanied by a small amount of starchy
(pasta, rice...)
|
 |
Snack
consists of a vegetal essential fatty acid (fruits and seeds rich in
fats: nuts, hazelnuts, ... or for instance 30 grams of dark chocolate),
and of a quick energy intake (fruit and sugar derivatives)
|
 |
Dinner is light and
contains low calorie foods: fish or shellfish, lean meats (pork,
poultry, rabbit) with green vegetables, seasoned with an oil rich in
omega-3 precursors (rapeseed oil) |
