Most weight-loss programs focus on cutting your food intake, lessening your portions, counting your calories, or worse, requiring you to skip a meal. In short, you end up literally starving yourself! (And we all know that depriving yourself will only cause you to binge-eat eventually. Hello, yo-yo dieting!) Enter the Baron Method—a new program that will re-train you to eat properly. In this program, you can actually eat as much as you want, as long as the food you take in is healthy and as much as possible, unprocessed.

“Baron Method is not about the quantity but the quality of the food. People with health and fitness goals shouldn’t be deprived, because food can be harnessed to create strong and fit bodies,” says Harvie de Baron, a financial planner, nutritionist and the man behind the method. “It all boils down to the ingredients and manner of preparation. When you do food right—the Baron Method way—you can eat your way to a healthier lifestyle,” he adds.

Choosing the right ingredients is important when it comes to this kind of lifestyle upgrade. Just tweaking your recipe and finding healthy alternatives gives you the chance to eat what you want without worrying or feeling guilty. Their goal is to “make healthy yummy” since people are used to think that healthy food is bland and tasteless. A prime example of a healthy and yummy meal is their Oatscaldo which is a combination of oats (instead of rice), chicken stock (not the cubes that you buy in the supermarket), onions, pepper, and salt.

“Food was and never will be the enemy. When you know and when you can control what goes into your food, you can eat whatever you want while attaining your health and fitness goals,” de Baron says. “Baron Method is about being healthy at the proper way—and that is through quality food that sets you on the path of a doable and sustainable healthy lifestyle,” he concludes.
