The French national team became the champion of the world Cup that ended in Russia. A number of players of the French national team – clients of the Paris Academy of food Benedict Le Pans (www.methode-le-panse.com). Its founder, doctor of physiology and author of the book "restoring the balance of nutrition" Benedict Le Pans is the partner of the Volga Academy of sports and tourism and a participant of two international scientific conferences held at the University this year.
Consultations celebrities Benedict is no stranger. Her book has become a bestseller, and professional advice is very popular not only among players. Benedict Le Pans talked about how she helps people win:
- The French for the most part do not complain about weight problems, but love to eat.
- In our country you can meet full people. Although mostly the French, of course, slender. And you are right: the French, including athletes, like to eat well and drink. And I also love good food and good wine because I live in Reims. And this is the region where the best champagne is produced! But it is known that the athlete can be allowed everything and nothing. If you are preparing for the tournament, we will clearly structure your food. And after the tournament, of course, we relax. We are French (laughs)!
- In Russia, many players do the same, but this leads to the fact that they come to the club with excess weight to gather from vacations…
- There are many players among my clients. We pay great attention to their nutrition, because nutrition is the key to success. We need to find the right balance so that the athlete uses nutrition to improve his results.
- Diet, weight loss ... it is Believed that proper nutrition, it is difficult, monotonous, tedious, boring, tasteless…
- My technique allows you to abandon the boring mode that causes a person a nervous disorder. I am against any framework, because the method of restriction allows you to quickly lose weight, but then also quickly gain extra pounds. My method allows to reduce the weight forever! The point is to make people lose weight unnoticeable for themselves. Of course, there is a difference between ordinary people and athletes who need more fat and other elements. But no regime and restrictions on the structure of food. I don't take your favorite foods out of my diet. You can enjoy your favorite food by building an individual scheme.
- So, you can eat everything, but at a certain time.
- Yes, each person at a certain time of the day certain substances are absorbed better. It is necessary to redistribute products so that they are better absorbed. Therefore, the more people eat, the more actively they lose weight.
 Is your book popular?
- Yes, now my goal is to publish it in Russia.
- Do people often thank you?
- It happens. I worked with the former President of France, Francois Hollande. I can tell about it as I didn't give any obligations. Unlike the players, whose names I can not name. I will only say that the General problem that we solve with them is to reduce weight to increase speed, and to make them tired more slowly. To balance the consumption of sugar and its levels in the body that they at any time were ready to complete the task.
- Some product you have banned? 
- There's nothing like that! On the contrary, starting to work with a person, I adapt to him. I find out what he likes in particular and think how to embed this product or dish in his diet and achieve the desired balance.
- Do you use special equipment?
- Certainly. It all depends on the situation. We either go to the lab, or my office, where I have the equipment to identify the problem. As a rule, it consists in the fact that the products that a person uses are not utilized by the body. By determining the degree of human activity, you can understand how many substances he needs, and what he really consumes. Studying the features of human metabolism, I increase the number of products that allow to normalize metabolism, and reduce the number of those that prevent normalization.
- You can lose weight at any age?
- Yeah. I get 50-year-olds who say they're fine, but they think it's normal at their age. And I say that they just started to work more and eat less, but move less. The main task is to normalize metabolism. Start the hormonal systems, which are disrupted by improper nutrition. I focus on the fact that at a certain time of the day begin to work hormones that improve metabolism.
- What you can give universal advice?
- Eat more often, do not limit yourself, but adjust the amount and quality of eaten. And yet: food should not become the meaning of life. Food is a way to achieve well-being. You eat to work, to lead an active lifestyle, to achieve results. There is to lose weight, it is a principle, but not an end in itself.
- Why did you become a partner of the Volga sports Academy?
The scientific conferences held here are applied and always well organized. The Volga region Academy has great potential and is aimed at international cooperation, which we develop through joint research and scientific publications. I consider clarity, ability to work and a detailed approach to be distinctive features and an undoubted Russian advantage. You have the highest level of performance discipline! In addition, I have a love for Russia. I think that my method, which is recognized in France, can become popular in your country, because it allows you to optimize the results without much effort and severe restrictions. There are many talented athletes in Russia. It will allow them to improve themselves. I am a highly qualified powerlifting athlete myself and I know that nutrition is a very serious impulse for sports
