In August 2023, Virginie Efira welcomed Hiro, the fruit of her loves with the actor Niels Schneider. But if the actress was able to rediscover the joys of maternity, she also had to face a new postpartum, and the slow weight loss that goes with it. But to face it, the mother confides in favor “Simple things that work“To quickly find your silhouette.
Stop the snacks!
To lose weight slowly but surely, Virginie Efira admits having eliminated any form of snacking. “”I don’t nibble between meals“, She confirms. A good practice, according to dietician-nutritionist Alexandra Retion.
“If the meals are balanced and satisfied, stopping the snacks is a good thing. There is indeed no reason, on a daily basis, to nibble between meals”, says the expert.
“”However, if you delete snacking, you are hungry, and you do not respond to this hunger, caution. In this case, you will have to consult a professional “, specifies Alexandra Retion.
Eliminate starchy foods: a false good idea
Another tip from the star: abandon the carbohydrates in the evening (pasta, rice, bread) in favor of lighter dishes. A habit that allows you to act on extra pounds, but also on its digestion. However, the dietician is not convinced by this practice.
“Not consuming starchy foods in the evening is not necessarily a good idea. Starchy foods participate in the production of certain hormones favoring sleep, such as serotonin, and can therefore contribute to better rest. It is therefore not an absolute rule to follow. The important thing at dinner is above all to have a light and easy to digest meal, without being restrictive”, specifies the specialist.
For example, enjoying a homemade vegetable soup in the evening, accompanied by a piece of cheese and a piece of wholemeal bread is a good full meal idea. “”Beware, however, of the “prolonged” fast, trend currently, which can cause cravings and is not desirable “, warns the expert.
A regular sports practice
Finally, Virginie Efira practices regular physical activity … not without difficulty. “I never found the activity I like”first confessed the actress before revealing her secret. “Fortunately, I have an intelligent and funny coach, who knows the body very well. Thanks to him, I get started.”
What to think ultimately of habits taken by Virginie Efira?
The young mother’s approach therefore seems full of common sense. “Her food rebalancing is a good approach “, says Alexandra Retion, “Although it is essential to be accompanied by a professional: he alone can adapt the diet to the metabolism of the person, at his own pace of life, his hormonal needs and the real causes of weight gain”, she concludes.
