Chataigner method: what is it?
” I am a former patient, says Frédérique Chataigner, founder of the eponymous method. A few years ago, I was overweight, suffered from hypothyroidism and depression. So I decided to take charge of my health and take care of myself. “
After many years of studies, Frédérique Chataigner became a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and nutritionist. It was then that the Chataigner method was born, a slimming method “ comprehensive, personalized and sustainable “.
The Chataigner method is based on 3 pillars:
- Nutrition
The Chataigner method does not prohibit any food: there is no question of counting the calories on your plate! ” It is simply a food rebalancing: the person (re) learns to eat according to his needs, he (re) discovers the principles of chrononutrition – which consists of eating everything, but not at any time – and (re) learn to identify anti-addictive and anti-inflammatory foods“specifies the founder.
The Chataigner method also aims to deconstruct received ideas. ” Many people who want to lose weight think that it is necessary to banish fat, emphasizes Frédérique Chataigner. However, this is not a good idea: it is better to learn to identify the “good” fats! “
- Psycho and emotions
The Chataigner method uses two tools to work on the “psycho” aspect of weight loss – which we know is essential. On the one hand, hypnosis regulates food compulsions and helps us to feel satiety better. On the other hand, cardiac coherence allows better management of stress and strong emotions – which are often responsible for our snacking!
- Nutritherapy
” People who are often on a diet (and especially who often follow restrictive diets) usually have dietary deficiencies “, explains Frédérique Chataigner.
However, these dietary deficiencies can have serious consequences on health: thyroid problems, metabolic disorders … ” This is where nutritherapy comes in: it offers natural food supplements that will restore balance in the body and promote well-being. “
Chataigner method: what do we eat?
We eat everything! This is the principle of the Chataigner method: nothing is forbidden. ” We look at the nutritional qualities of the food rather than its calories, says the founder. The principle of the method is not to deprive yourself, but to (re) learn to compose a healthy and balanced plate. “Because, it is well known, the deprivation is not a good solution slimming:” on the contrary, that’s how the yo-yo effect is born! “
The star foods of the Chataigner method? Avocado, coconut, sweet potato, chestnut, banana, green vegetables or even spelled flour.
What about the gaps? ” If you fancy a pizza or a fast food, there is no problem, adds Frédérique Chataigner. The method will however tell you when is the best time to crack, and how to compensate for your excess … “
Chataigner method: a recipe to try
French toast for breakfast
Ingredients for 1 person:
- 1 leftover bread
- 2 eggs
- 150 mL of vegetable milk (coconut milk, almond milk …) or goat milk
- 1 C. to s. coconut oil
- 1 pinch of coconut sugar
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
Take the leftover sourdough bread or the leftover buckwheat waffles. Dip them in the beaten eggs with the milk. Place them in a pan in coconut oil to brown them. Then, on a plate, sprinkle with coconut sugar and cinnamon. To be enjoyed with a bowl of red fruits and tea!
The advice of the pro. ” Eating sweet for breakfast is not a good idea. Indeed, sugars (especially industrial) block the action of serotonin, the hormone of well-being. So we don’t start the day on the right foot! For those with a sweet tooth, I recommend replacing sugar with a natural alternative (coconut sugar, for example) or with spices (vanilla, cinnamon …). “
Chataigner method: what are the results?
The promise ? A loss of 1 to 2 kilos per week. ” It really depends on the people: people who have been on a lot of (especially restrictive) diets in their life may have slower weight loss. “specifies the founder.
There are 4 ways to follow the Chataigner method: an individual consultation with a therapist (there are 130 in Europe), a 1 to 2 day internship with a hypno-nutritionist, an online internship with the founder, or a one-week cure.
” Once people have acquired the basics of the method, they are followed by e-mail, phone, SMS or even on social networks where there is a very active community. “We also have access to exclusive recipes.
What are the prices ? On average, the consultation with a therapist costs 80 euros for one hour. The two-day course costs around 370 euros. And the one-week cure, around 1300 euros.
