Obey the hourglass, keep ageing at bay
What did you have for breakfast — toast, or a croissant, or a bowl of nuts and dried fruit, bananas and blueberries doused in almond milk with a sliver of dark chocolate on the side? If you are in Holland you probably ate the third; if you are anywhere else it might soon be your breakfast staple, too.
You have Kris Verburgh, 28, a Belgian doctor, to thank for this. His diet book, The Food Hourglass, is a bestseller in Holland and is being published in Britain this week.Verburgh has an unusual approach to dieting. His primary aim is to slow down the ageing process and to remain as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Weight loss, which he says is often considerable, is merely a side effect.
