An innovative method for weight loss based on thermodynamics. A classical theory, applied to our energy needs, which identifies in the basal metabolism the best ally of our well-being. In the perfect diet physical effort is not essential, especially if it is understood only as a calorie consumption: what is activated, however, is the basal metabolism which, like a boiler, burns all the excess calories, causing a natural weight loss. The book was designed to provide the reader, on the one hand, with the basics that will allow him to understand how an ideal diet should be structured, on the other, to provide it with a detailed guide so that, in daily life, it can combine quantitatively and qualitatively correct, the various groups of foods.
