Долгое время я пыталась худеть, просто урезая порции, но ничего не понимала про баланс калорий, пока не прошла этот курс. Здесь всё объясняется без фанатизма и без строгих запретов, а через понимание того, откуда берётся дефицит и как считать реальные потребности организма. Особенно полезными оказались уроки про осознанное питание — привычку есть медленно и замечать сигналы голода я держу до сих пор. Единственное, чего немного не хватило, это больше примеров меню для людей с плотным рабочим графиком. В целом курс дал именно ту базу, которой мне не хватало все эти годы.

Malinaw na ipinaliwanag dito kung paano gumagana ang calorie deficit nang hindi kinakailangang mag-starve. Nagustuhan ko rin yung parte tungkol sa mindful eating, kasi doon ko lang talaga naintindihan bakit ako lagi kumakain kahit busog na ako. Ilang linggo na akong sumusunod sa mga bagay na natutunan ko at unti-unti kong nakikita ang pagbabago.

Le cours explique le déficit calorique de manière simple et scientifique, sans tomber dans les régimes miracles habituels. J'ai particulièrement aimé les leçons sur l'alimentation consciente, qui m'ont appris à reconnaître la vraie faim de l'ennui. C'est le premier programme nutrition qui me semble vraiment durable sur le long terme.

칼로리 결핍이 어떻게 작동하는지 이렇게 쉽게 설명해준 강의는 처음이었어요. 배고픔과 그냥 습관적으로 먹고 싶은 걸 구분하는 법을 배운 게 제일 도움이 됐습니다. 몇 주째 실천 중인데 몸도 마음도 훨씬 편해졌어요.

Me gustó mucho cómo explican el balance energético paso a paso, aunque algunas lecciones sobre metabolismo se sienten un poco técnicas para quien recién empieza.

Il corso spiega molto bene il concetto di deficit calorico senza spingere verso diete drastiche. Le lezioni sull'alimentazione consapevole mi hanno aiutato a capire quando mangio per fame reale e quando per abitudine. Avrei solo apprezzato qualche esempio in più di pasti pratici per la settimana.

Курс отлично раскрывает тему энергетического баланса без лишней воды и модных диет. Мне особенно понравилось, как объясняется разница между настоящим голодом и привычкой перекусывать от скуки. За пару недель я стала гораздо спокойнее относиться к еде.

El curso explica de forma clara cómo funciona el balance energético sin caer en dietas extremas, algo que agradezco mucho. Las secciones sobre alimentación consciente me ayudaron a identificar cuándo como por hambre real y cuándo por costumbre. Lo único es que algunas lecciones se sienten un poco largas para la cantidad de información que dan.

Ho finalmente capito il bilancio energetico senza ricorrere a diete assurde, peccato solo per qualche esempio di pasto in più che avrei voluto.

Kursus ini menjelaskan defisit kalori dengan cara yang masuk akal, bukan sekadar suruh makan sedikit. Bagian tentang mindful eating benar-benar membuka mata saya soal kebiasaan ngemil karena stres, bukan lapar. Sekarang pola makan saya jauh lebih teratur tanpa rasa tertekan.

O curso explica muito bem o conceito de déficit calórico e ajuda a criar hábitos mais conscientes na hora de comer, só senti falta de mais exemplos práticos para o dia a dia corrido.

Курс наконец объяснил простым языком, как работает дефицит калорий, и я перестала бояться есть углеводы.

Kursus ini menerangkan konsep defisit kalori dengan cara yang mudah difahami, cuma sesetengah bahagian tentang sains di sebalik metabolisme agak berat untuk pemula seperti saya.

Akhirnya paham cara kerja defisit kalori tanpa harus lapar terus, dan kebiasaan makan saya jadi jauh lebih teratur setelah ikut kursus ini.

Ich habe schon so viele Diäten ausprobiert, aber erst dieser Kurs hat mir wirklich erklärt, wie ein Kaloriendefizit eigentlich funktioniert. Besonders hilfreich fand ich die Lektionen zum achtsamen Essen, weil ich dadurch endlich zwischen echtem Hunger und emotionalem Essen unterscheiden kann. Die Übungen sind einfach in den Alltag zu integrieren, ohne dass man sich ständig einschränken muss. Etwas mehr konkrete Mahlzeitenbeispiele für stressige Arbeitstage hätten dem Kurs noch gutgetan. Trotzdem ist das die erste Herangehensweise, bei der ich das Gefühl habe, sie wirklich durchzuhalten.
