Start with food to maximize your health, your figure and your physical and mental fitness, here's an idea that's not so far-fetched.

And that's exactly the approach we're going to take here.

In short, Blooness is for you if one or more of the following applies to you:

Would you like to change your diet for something healthierbut you don't know where to start.

You're lost with all the conflicting theories, and the wealth of information on the Internet.

You don't know which diet to adopt according to your lifestyle: sedentary, sporty, fat loss and/or muscle gain.

Your energy is sometimes at half-mast, and you don't understand why.

You want to maximize your chances of being in good healthfor as long as possible.

You don't necessarily want to learn to cook like a chef, or at least you don't want to cook every day.

Blooness for slimming down, getting in shape, and limiting the risk of developing disease

The influence of diet on health is a postulate accepted by the scientific community and public authorities alike. However, the solutions proposed to date remain evasive, sometimes dogmatic, often unfounded.

That's right, "eat a balanced diet, less fat, less salt, less sugar, fewer calories".is not a valid piece of advice. In fact, we are going to challenge these prejudices, and defend, for example, the idea that "Eating fat and eating more can actually help you lose weightContrary to popular belief, it's much more natural and effective than intense, demotivating cardio programs combined with low-calorie or high-protein diets that can be stressful for the body.

Of course, diet is no substitute for medicine. But as a complement to treatment, or as a preventive measure, eating in the most optimal way for human beings, by providing them with what they know best how to metabolize, is already putting the maximum chances on their side.

Individual differences, but a common base

To develop the Blooness power supply, we were interested in to what workedand simply what worked.

By reviewing hundreds of archives, personal accounts and scientific studies, we have synthesized the following information the very best in nutritionThe result is an ideal that can then be adapted to each individual.

The Blooness guide is not a scientific compendium, but a guide that synthesizes and popularizes emerging and age-old concepts of nutrition to improve health, vitality and longevity.

There's a common denominator for all human beings. A foundation that groups together the basics, enabling us to enjoy the best that nature has to offer in terms of food. Then, each individual, depending on his or her genetic make-up, metabolism, objectives and tastes, can adapt this diet and make it his or her own.

This ideal is inspired by several nutritional fundamentals:

  • The low-carb high-fat or ketogenic diet in its stricter version, reducing carbohydrate and sugar intake in favor of (good) lipids, i.e. fats, unjustly demonized since the 60s.
  • Feeding the Blue ZonesThese are the regions of the world where life expectancy beats records, and where civilization diseases are rare (diabetes, cancer). What do they eat? Let's find out.
  • The Paleolithic dietThis is because our bodies have not yet adapted to the radical changes that have taken place since the Neolithic revolution, which marked the advent of agriculture over 10,000 years ago, and even less so since the Industrial Revolution.
  • Veganism and flexitarianismWe're working towards a "Blue Zones" diet, with more vegetable fats, more vegetables and more legumes.
  • And finally, chrono-nutritionwhich involves giving importance to the timing of food intake.

Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss any new chapters.

We're not going to apply these types of diet to the letter - although that will again depend on each person's goals and metabolism - but draw inspiration and make the most of it. Don't worry, the different variations will be explained, so that you can make the main principles of this ultra-healthy diet your own, while adapting it to your situation (sedentary, sporty, manual work, office work, etc.).

Other inspirations will be added to these types of diet, in order to implement this "dietary ideal" during the reading of this white paper, such as the highlighting of "superfoods" or the benefits of certain spices.

Important reminders

The Blooness diet is not a diet. It's just a bunch of tips to adapt on a daily basis to maximize the chances of giving our bodies the best possible fuel.

What's more, this is not a low-calorie diet based on frustration and deprivation, since it's based on rich, generous meals that focus on the pleasure of eating.

Blooness is not a substitute for a doctor. If you need treatment, seek it.

Finally, it's not about a dogmatic diet that would forbid "deviations"! The aim is to transform the meals we usually eat without paying any particular attention, into meals that your body will love to metabolize.

So it's only over time that it can work, while not denying ourselves meals of pleasure, a drunken evening or a craving for fast food when the occasion arises, once in a while. In this way, we try to aim for the ideal as far as possible, without falling into extremism.
