The Forking Diet an Easy Weight Loss Method

 The Forking slimming method is also called the fork diet. And for good reason, meals should only be enjoyed with this single utensil in order to reduce their food consumption. Lose weight in a few strokes of forks.

Proposed by Ivan Gavriloff, a polytechnician, the Forking method relies not only on the sole use of the fork but also on a daily dietary organisation based on three postulates: a "king's breakfast", a "prince's lunch" and a "poor man's dinner". The Forking diet exists in two versions. The Forking Strict and the Forking Soft. It's up to you to decide which one suits you best.

 


The method 

In this diet, the focus is on the way you eat. As with chrono-nutrition, it is a matter of setting our stomachs back on track. To do this, the day begins with a "king's breakfast", which is supposed to provide the energy fuel we need. Then comes the "prince's lunch", rich in proteins, slow sugar and vegetables. Finally, to counteract the phenomenon of fat storage, which is facilitated during the night, it is recommended to eat lightly by offering a "poor man's dinner". But be careful, the evening meal has a specificity: the use of the fork. We abandon the spoon and the knife to use only this one. The aim? To reduce food consumption, since this cutlery does not allow you to eat large mouthfuls and, in addition, its tines filter the sauce. It goes without saying that eating with the fingers or sautéing is not allowed. And why does this principle only apply to dinner? Simply to avoid deficiencies and frustrations caused by strict dietary rules. You will therefore need the willpower to adopt a healthy diet on your own and apply it to every meal.


In practice 

Strict forking

As soon as dinner is prepared, it is strictly forbidden to use a knife or spoon. Don't panic! To help you make the right nutritional choices, this variant includes a list of "blacklisted" foods:

 Forget all the foods you eat with your fingers:

  • - snack biscuits, crisps, olives, nuts, almonds or chips... ;
  • - sandwiches, hamburgers, pizzas, quiches, sausages, or fried chicken..;
  • - cheese 
  • - fresh fruit
  • - biscuits, sweets and other chocolates...
  • - bread, whether fresh or toasted and pastries

 Do not eat anything that you spread with a knife:

  • - cheeses and spreads ;
  • - mayonnaise, butter, margarine, ketchup or mustard...

 Leave out anything you swallow with a spoon:

  • - soups, soups...
  • - yoghurt or cereals
  • - ice cream, sorbets, and other desserts...
  • - sauces


 Certain vegetables that are too energy dense are also banned:

  • - pumpkin, avocado, artichoke hearts, and radishes.

Soft Forking

In this variant, the use of a knife during the preparation of the meal is permitted. But as soon as you sit down to eat, you forget about it and use only a fork. Some foods that are forbidden in the strict version are allowed here:

  • - raw vegetables and salad
  • - white meat, cut up beforehand
  • - shellfish
  • - omelettes

My menus for the week

Very simple to follow, the Forking method allows you to eat a little of everything, without overdoing it. Based on the principle of chrono-nutrition, it educates the metabolism to reduce appetite. Applied strictly, the Forking method allows you to lose up to 5 kilos per month. In reality, it is more a question of a healthy lifestyle than a diet in the strict sense. Breakfast is a great way to fill up on energy, as all the calories you eat will be eliminated afterwards. The snack is great for reducing the potential appetite for dinner. Dark chocolate, fruit, plain yoghurt... This is the sweet break of the day. Eating a light dinner allows you to correct any deviations you may have made during the day. It is not forbidden to eat foods known to be "fatty", such as hamburgers for lunch. However, this type of consumption should be limited. Dinner is the key to the success of this slimming method. It should only consist of one dish. Starters and desserts are not welcome on the plate. Fish and vegetables, which are highly recommended for dinner, are the only foods for which the use of a knife is allowed during preparation.
