Chenot Diet Overview and FAQ’s “Food is not just fuel. It can be a therapy. The Chenot Diet is one of the integral components of the Chenot Method®. It is an intervention in the programme which is specially formulated to support the self-healing mechanisms of the body, cleanse the body at a cellular level, facilitate metabolic balance, restore the biorhythm, harmonise the hormones, equilibrate the gut flora and create fresh energy and new cells, that keeps us biologically young. It has been carefully designed to work in synergy with the medical treatments. It consists of a reducedcalorie plant-based diet specially formulated to activate the body’s fasting mechanisms whilst providing sufficient nourishment to the cells.”

1. What is the Chenot Diet? It is a low-calorie plant-based diet, high in nutrients, with a specific combination of good fats, low glycemic index carbohydrates, fibres and limited plant proteins. It is a “fasting with food” approach which provides nourishment to the body and reduces the risks associated with total fasting. 2. Why are there no snacks in the Chenot diet? It helps to reduce insulin resistance and therefore allow better control of blood sugar levels. It is also stimulating metabolic flexibility (fed/fasted). 3. Why does the Chenot diet contain no animal protein? Protein restriction and in particular restriction of specific amino acids found mainly in animal food sources, reduce the “command growth” within the body and facilitate the breakdown and removal of toxins. 4. Why there are only 850 calories served daily in the Chenot Diet? The body must enter a fasted state that enhances “autophagy” which is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, regenerating newer, healthier cells and promoting rejuvenation. It also helps the body to flip the metabolic switch to burn fat and regulate blood sugar levels. Compared to zero-calorie fasting, the Chenot diet nourishes vital processes and is making dining an experience without compromising the pleasure of taste. 5. Why don`t we serve caffeine drinks in the Chenot Diet? Caffeine acts as a stimulant, a vasoconstrictor, and a promoter of a stress response, hindering optimal relaxation. It has been found to limit the absorption of nutrients from food, while we would like to maximize the nutritional content. At Chenot, as we focus on practising mindful eating, caffeine may numb the perception of taste through receptor binding capacity, a vital sensor for engaging with food. 6. Do you know the purpose of the Chenot diet? The Chenot diet triggers metabolic pathways in the body responsible for: a. cleansing the body. b. eliminating toxins and damaged cells that accumulate as we age. c. promoting hormonal sensitivity. d. promoting cellular repair regeneration and overall health. e. re-educating our organism.
