Do you want to lose weight? You must eat less of everything!

Whether it's the Atkins diet or the Paleo diet, many weight watchers are starting to look for solutions to lose weight.

But now, a leading geneticist has proposed a very simple solution to a diet: it would be necessary to eat less of everything and not count the calories in the dark.

Giles Yeo, tutor at the University of Cambridge, presented his six best tips for losing weight in his book called Gene Mating: The Science of Obesity and the Truth About Diets.

Giles Yeo, tutor at the University of Cambridge, recommends eating less of everything and not counting calories.

He told the Hay Festival that dieters must accept weight loss, it's "difficult" but achievable if they "nibble a little at a time".

His second tip is to "eat less of everything", but not cut some food groups unless you are allergic.

He said, "Do not demonize and do not exclude entire food groups except on medical grounds. Too many things are bad and too few things are so bad.

Yeo said he had already spent 29 days on a vegan diet and had lost 4 kg while eating as much as he wanted. In the meantime, his blood cholesterol level has dropped by 12%.

The geneticist said that dieters must accept weight loss, it's "difficult" but achievable if they "nibble a little at a time".

Among his other tricks, it is including eating foods that take longer to digest, as this satiates you and avoid counting calories indiscriminately.

"Foods that take longer to digest will travel further into the intestine and give you the feeling of being full," he added. He also advises to consume more unsaturated fats, including avocados, nuts and olive oil.

Finally, he said that one should not be afraid of food, but that it was "better to better understand the food and work with it rather than to be afraid of it".
