He promotes his latest book, “Why can’t I lose weight?, released on January 5 in bookstores. And Jean-Michel Cohen does not hesitate to talk about his personal experience on the subject. This February 2, in the program “At Jordan’s“, the most famous nutritionist of the paf explained that he himself had been “made obese” by a mother who fattened him up all the time. And that he had had to chain diets.
“I dieted repeatedly”
And to cite as an example the hot dog and the Coke that she served him as a child, on Wednesdays, with his Mickey Parade, at 10am, just after his breakfast. A gesture of love which did not help him much to be in good health, assures Jean-Michel Cohen today. Also, he admits that he was fat at puberty and until his baccalaureate, because of these rituals, and the transfer that his mother had made in food.
If Jean-Michel Cohen succeeded in losing weight, after a breakup, by betting on a diet “totally unbalanced” at the time (steak, apple, tennis, which made him lose 20kg in 3 months), he still reminds us that there is no single miracle solution for losing weight. Quoting what he describes in his book, the specialist explained to Jordan de Luxe, quite simply, to lose weight: “we must analyze three things, the genetic and hormonal content of the person, his psychological content, and his desire to lose weight”.
And for good reason, he says:If we haven’t analyzed the three, we can’t make people lose weight. There are plenty of people who complain that they can’t follow a diet because in fact it’s a psychological reason that pushes them to do so”.
Regarding his mother, Jean-Michel Cohen reveals, for example, that she was “depressed” and very worried about what would happen to her family. In fact, she “ate to anesthetize his thoughts (…) to rediscover a joy of living, and to somehow forget“, he says.
Fat helps “heal pain”
More generally, the doctor advises that fat is used for fat to “isolate oneself somewhere. And quote a practical case : “A badly burned person, if he doesn’t have fat, he won’t heal, because he won’t heal. Well, fat, it also helps heal pain, it protects you from the cold, it warms you up , but it can warm the heart too. That’s all we haven’t said in a vulgar way to the general public”.
