HappyDiet

HappyDiet is a digital recipe book for use only, entirely edited by Dr. Luisa Radice, continuously updated, based on the Open Source "EnRecipes" project.

* Hi, let me introduce myself.

My name is Luisa Radice but everyone (even many of my patients) calls me Lisa.
I have been working for 20 years in the field of nutrition, first as an employee of a private structure, then after about 3 years I decided to take up the profession.
In 1998 I obtained my three-year degree in "Dietology and Applied Dietetics" at the University of Naples Federico II.
Subsequently in 2003 I obtained a first level degree in "Dietetics" at the same University.
In recent years I have collaborated with professionals in bariatric surgery and cosmetic surgery as well as various specialists such as general practitioners, orthopedists, gynecologists, cardiologists who have referred their patients to my studies in order to make them undertake a path of dietary re-education.
Over time I realized that all my patients had in common the thought that "diet" was synonymous with suffering, limitation, mortification of the palate, and that everyone, really everyone, thought that this path could have an end, in short, the diet it had to have a beginning and an end.

And so my work could not be limited "only" to the elaboration of a food scheme, but I had to DISCLOSE the true meaning of the word "diet".
Yes, because diet is nothing but balance, balance with food, learning to know it, to choose it to understand the quantities and frequencies to be adopted, because a real diet does NOT prohibit you, but teaches you to manage your daily food, and you helps to give flavor to light dishes.
And so the idea of ​​using social media to convey this message was born.
First through Facebook, then with YouTube, Instagram and now with this app that will allow all of you to have a recipe book of "light" dishes always on your mobile ...
But now just read about me, I leave you with my proposals for tasty and light cuisine.

* The idea of ​​the app

Since I approached social media (now over 10 years) first with Facebook then with YouTube, and then landed on Instagram, my goal has always been only one, to help and support my patients during their food "recovery" .
I have always thought that the term "diet" over the years has been distorted by a series of excessively rigid, unnecessarily mortifying and unreasonably limiting food prescriptions, which many "experts" have adopted over the years to lead their clients to weight loss.
Obviously these schemes have in common the limited intake of calories, because it is now known that the only way to lose weight is to reduce the energy we ingest or consume much more than we normally do (or both).
The problem, over the years, has been to associate a low-calorie diet with a choice of foods and cooking them that can really be traced back to a hospital menu (hahaha).
And here is the idea, suggesting tasty recipes to my patients, but reading and doing it using their own means of dissemination such as social media.
But today I feel the need to make my recipes even more available, looking for them in the Instagram or Facebook posts is often inconvenient, instead having an app that allows me to quickly browse the recipes, well I think it can really be a useful tool.
So congratulations to you for downloading my app, I hope it will be useful for you but also for your family.
