How can I lose weight healthily and sustainably, according to science?
Research shows that you need to spend more calories than you consume to lose weight. Low-calorie, fat-free diets are less effective than a balanced diet rich in protein. Sleep and activity are also crucial to weight loss: a programme combining cardio, weight training, HIIT and mindfulness is optimal.

What should you eat before and after training?
Before training, I prefer low glycemic index carbohydrates, so that I have energy for a long time. I avoid eating too much
fat, sugar and spices and ideally wait two hours between a meal and exercise. After a workout, proteins and healthy fatty
acids help me recover well, and I also rely on antioxidants by including fruit and vegetables in my diet.

Which programme should I follow to burn as much fat as possible?
In addition to cardio, I incorporate two more specific methods into my sports programme: high-intensity interval training
(HIIT) and strength training. According to the latest scientific studies, these are the two most effective techniques for
burning fat in the entire body.

Does training on an empty stomach help me lose weight?
Training on an empty stomach can burn more fat, but it’s controversial: it doesn’t make me lose weight, and it could exhaust me, especially if the effort is intense. I’m careful to balance my energy balance between calories in and calories out and only do it in moderation in a specific context.
Which fruits should I choose for weight loss?
As part of a weight loss programme, I opt for fruit that is rich in fibre, hydrating and not too sweet: apples, watermelon, citrus fruit, etc. I include fruit in a complete programme, taking into account its carbohydrate content to balance my meals. I keep the facts clear: miracle foods don’t exist, but fruit is still very useful for achieving my slimming goals!
