The 80/20 Pareto Diet: The Magical Power of Intermittent Fasting for a slim body and a smart mind

By David De Angelis

Is there a secret that allows you to lose weight and in a stable manner, continuing a walk your favorite dishes and in the quantity you want?
Imagine a feeding model that allows you to lose weight incredibly quickly and without counting calories, to keep it low and to consume a longer and healthier life.
What value could you have for finally discovering this secret? What impact could it have on your line, your health and your well-being?
The present book is a model of "intermittent fasting" which represents an "ancient Secret", but rediscovered by itself in modern times and always supported by more scientific research to support its validity and effectiveness, not only in terms of weight (fat mass) ), but also in terms of longevity and physical and mental well-being. The Pareto 80/20 Diet is based on an Effectiveness Principle known as the "Pareto Principle", applied with great success in every field, from Business to Economics etc. In the Pareto 80/20 Diet alternating cycles of fasting and nutrition are used on a daily basis, instead of the "5 meals a day" model, which on the contrary always keeps the body in a state of hyper-feeding.

The Pareto Diet is a "food model" rather than a "classic diet", and does not include any restriction on which foods to eat, but rather on when to eat them.

Simple principles, great results! Also supported by numerous scientific studies.
The Pareto 80/20 Diet is becoming increasingly popular for one simple reason: IT WORKS!
It works both in case you want to lose weight (maybe accumulated over the years), and to strengthen your health and rejuvenation.
Are you tired of continuing to count calories and being obsessed with food all day long? The Pareto 80/20 Diet can be easily inserted as a lifestyle and nourish within your life and giving you a younger, leaner and healthier physique.
This book, supported by an extensive scientific reference bibliography, will explain to you not only the scientific and physiological bases of such a food model but also how to apply it successfully in your life.
You will be explained: • How the hormone Insulin works, making you grow old and fat and how to limit its activation to the minimum possible.
• How to activate the Glucagon hormone, and how to cause your body to burn fat (and lose weight), making you become a "fat burning machine".
• How to have an exponential increase in GH (Growth Hormone), in a completely natural and physiological manner. The enormous benefit of this "youth hormone" will be explained to you.
• How to activate the physiological phenomenon of autophagy, detoxifying and deeply renewing your body at the cellular level.
• How to stimulate the growth of new brain neurons through the stimulation of "BDNF", the neurotrophic growth factors, helping you to enhance your cognitive abilities and making you "smarter" and preventing various neurodegenerative diseases (proven by some scientific research).
• How to activate the principle of Ormesi, to make you thinner, healthier and "intelligent".
• How to easily maintain the desired weight with simple “Pareto 80/20” maintenance rules.
• And ... much more!

The 80/20 Pareto Diet

Is there a secret that allows you to lose weight quickly and steadily, while continuing to eat your favorite dishes and as much as you want?

Imagine that there is a nutritional model that allows you to lose weight incredibly quickly and without counting the calories, to keep it low, and to benefit from a longer and healthier life.

How important would it be for you to discover this secret, at last? What impact could it have on your shape, your health and your wellbeing?

This book illustrates a model of intermittent fasting that represents an ancient secret (because it has been used since ancient times), but rediscovered only in modern times and increasingly supported by numerous scientific researches to support its validity and effectiveness, not only in terms of weight (fat mass), but also in terms of longevity, physical and mental wellbeing.

The 80/20 Pareto Diet is based on an Effectiveness Principle known as the Pareto Principle, applied successfully in every field, from Business, to Economics etc. In the 80/20 Pareto Diet you alternate cycles of fasting and nutrition on a daily basis, instead of the 5 small meals a day model, which, on the contrary, constantly keeps the body in a state of hyper-feeding. The Pareto Diet is a nutritional model rather than a typical diet, and does not include any restrictions on which foods to eat, but rather on when to eat them.

In order to understand how great and effective this diet is (which is not a typical diet but a nutritional model), and why it’s dedicated to Pareto, an economist of the last century, we must illustrate the homonymous and universally known principle from which it takes its name: the Pareto Principle, meaning the 80/20 rule.

The Pareto principle, as we can read from Wikipedia, is a result of a statistical-empirical nature that is found in many complex systems that have a cause-effect structure. The principle states that about 20% of the causes cause 80% of the effects. These values are meant as qualitative and approximate. It takes its name from Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923), one of the major Italian economists and sociologists, and finds application in a surprising multitude of fields and disciplines.

In just a few simple words, this Principle states that in order to achieve 80% of the results, only 20% of the efforts, or specific actions for that particular result, must be carried out and leave out 80% of the unnecessary and useless actions that waste time, effort and maybe cause a decrease in motivation because they stand in the way or delay the results.

The nice thing is that this rule, which guarantees a high degree of effectiveness with minimum effort, is applicable in almost every field and area of life. If you can identify those specific actions that represent 20% of the Principle, you can reach 80% of the results.

The principle, although it is theoretical, can be easily found in reality and in every area of life: from business, to sports, to personal relationships, up to the Diet or to a style or dietary model that guarantees not only a fit body but also a higher level of health (oh yes! Even a smarter and more intelligent mind, as we will examine in detail when we’ll address the neurotrophic benefits of this nutritional model).

In order to apply, specifically, the Pareto Principle to a diet, weight loss and psychophysical wellbeing, it is necessary to translate the 80/20 Pareto Principle to the diet or to the diet that must be followed to achieve the greatest efficacy in less time and with the least effort. I am not afraid to challenge here, in terms of effectiveness and guarantee of success, any other diet or nutritional model (Zone diet, ketogenic, low carb, Atkins or whatever). Even if this statement might seem exaggerated or excessive, I only ask you to keep on reading the physiological and biochemical principles on which it is based (with noteworthy scientific studies which it refers to), but most of all to put it exactly into practice for at least two or three weeks (the time necessary so that everyone can see the results for themselves).

Back to the 80/20 Pareto Principle being applied to the diet, it is extremely important to limit the time in which we eat within the day to about 4 hours, leaving the remaining 20 hours to complete fasting, except for unsweetened drinks such as tea (not herbal teas with sweet fruit) coffee and water. In fact, if the 24 hours per day are broken down into 80 and 20% per day, the result will be 19.4 fasting and 4.6 hours in which you are allowed to eat virtually ad libitum or to satiety and without counting foods and calories.

Although this might seem too good to be true, I still invite you to continue reading and to understand the scientific bases that justify this great effectiveness in terms of results.

Another book about a Diet?

The topic of nutrition and diet is one of the most debated and controversial ones. Hundreds and hundreds of books have already been written on the subject. There are those that state that meat is not good for our health, those that say that vegetarians don’t have a complete amino acid profile intake, and the same goes
