Virginia Trokonis is experiencing one of the highlights of her life.. After the pandemic, Manuel Diaz’s wife “El Cordobes” decided to change her life by eating better, resting well and exercising consciously and with the goal of achieving maximum well-being. Her secret is not to want to be the most beautiful, but to pamper yourself and treat yourself well, take care of your health, and the rest comes by itself. “I love a healthy lifestyle, sports and proper nutrition, but I have been wrong many times. During the pandemic, I did some live performances with Pablo that had a lot of repercussions. people have told me what you do to be like that, and I wanted to convey that to do it well, you don’t have to do anything extraordinary.Virginia explained to Clara.

Thus was born the book “Food, let’s get along”, which Virginia Troconis published with nutritionist Pablo Ojeda.. “I was given the opportunity to do this, I’m not a nutritionist or a writer, but I can positively influence people to feel better about food and it was a very enjoyable experience,” she explained.

Pablo Ojeda added about the importance of this practical book, accessible to everyone: “The problem of malnutrition is not in food, but in negative messages about food. Stereotypes about the ideal body, everything is food, wine, everything that is. Forbidden insanely or negatively and it makes us make bad decisions. But it’s not about the food, it’s about the need for this book.”

CLARA was able to talk with Virginia Troconis and Pablo Ojeda about the keys to achieving a healthy relationship with food, how we can see ourselves as healthier and feel much better about ourselves and in front of the mirror. “People need to know that you can live, that you can enjoy, that you can do anything and that you can find a balance, and that balance makes us happy. There are more than 200 factors that can affect our weight, and food is just one of them, but we give it all the importance, ”said the Venezuelan.

• For Virginia and Pablo: What advice would you give to women who want to start this process today on the path to comprehensive well-being and with real results, what is the first step they should take?

Virginia: The first step is to realize that they want to get better, they want to feel better… We always strive to ensure that if I don’t have time, if my job forces me to eat outside, but when is what you really want to do , this is where change begins. This has a lot to do with the psychological problem and the fact that you want this change. I want to do this because I want to feel better, we are what we eat. We also need to know why we want to make changes.

Pablo: Test of conscience, like confession. You need to know how you feel, what kind of relationship you have, or what your job is like. You should be aware of the changes you may be facing. If everything in your life is failing, it is better to fix these problems, often we set goals that do not fit our circumstances.. If we analyze everything and adapt the change to what we can carry, boredom will not come.

• For Virginia: How do you maintain professional, social, and family balance and be able to organize yourself so you don’t make the mistake of eating fast food or highly processed food?

Planning is very important, I have a weekly menu and from there I make a shopping list. On this day you eat this meat, this fish or legumes and change vegetables. You should enjoy eating, when you learn to eat healthy, you will enjoy eating. The secret is to have my chopped carrots, my celery, my hummus, my fried mushrooms… Cwhen I travel I try to choose well, I don’t fall into this obsession with healthy eating. There are people who say that I don’t leave the house because I’m on a diet, but you can choose well, and if one day you eat outside and you feel like it’s dessert, nothing happens because 80% of what you do is important. But where there is a salad, there is a healthy dish, a protein, a vegetable, a plate of chickpeas or lentils.

• For Virginia: Being in good mental health with yourself also has a big impact on leading a more balanced life in every way, including diet and physical activity.

Yes, it definitely has a lot to do with it. to me I’m in a moment of fullness, pleasure, I have older children on the go, I have a very good relationship with them. I consider myself your mother, but your friend, I want you to find in me your haven of peace and your advice. Manuel and I are very committed to our children, but they are already flying and now we are committed to our work, what we are passionate about, and I feel like I love it. Life is so complicated that it complicates it even more… You can’t live with this bitterness tomorrow I’m starting a diet I’ll only eat chicken and salad without even counting calories life is so much easier. Food is our ally, not our enemy, and you can truly enjoy life by doing it right.

• For Pablo: What do you think is the biggest food danger we face?

Phew, that’s a good question. “Infoxation”, there is a lot of information about influencers, social networks, the Internet, people who have done this or that… “Amimefunctionalism” is very dangerous because we don’t have real knowledge. What we do most in this life is sleep and eat. We don’t know what carbohydrates, proteins are, how they should be mixed, if today I eat one thing, the next day I like something else … From childhood, we were taught to eat at parties, in depression, in joy, in sadness and in sadness .. In Japan, there was a very interesting experiment that was started because the rate of obesity was on the rise, and this is the topic of young children’s nutrition and their relationship with food. The results over the three years have been impressive. Children climbed into the kitchen and know what they are eating, and this is necessary in order not to build a sick society. Taste is educated no matter how old you are.

• For Virginia and Pablo: At the end of the day, it all comes down to mood and routine, so things go their way and you get in a good mood. And the results are coming.

Virginia: Of course! Sport is also very important, if I don’t have time to train a lot, I always do something every day. I had a lot of interviews this morning and I had half an hour to ride a bike Well, half an hour and I activated. You are looking for him, but because I feel better. I do this for half an hour, my shower and I’m already filming all day and the body is asking you to make everything better. People need to understand that being able to play sports is a privilege, not a duty. I had a friend who died of cancer and one day I told her I was too lazy to go out for a 10K run and she told me “I wish I could run at least one” and it marked me that I could do sports. is a privilege. So wherever I am, I go for a walk, I go up the stairs, I look for children and I go that we cannot be sedentary. And everything influences from there.

Pablo: You have to gain self-confidence, improve self-care, acceptance… Because if you never accept yourself, you will never be able to find the best version of yourself, and from there your healthiest version will come. Our body tells us something, but there is too much external noise that prevents us from hearing ourselves, and then sabotaging thoughts appear.that justify your bad deeds so that you don’t feel bad for any reason. Identification takes the first step.

• For Virginia: And when can you treat yourself? What can’t you refuse?

I give myself a lot! I’m not that sweet, I love grandma’s cake – the recipe is in the book – and when it comes I enjoy it, but then what I feel might be a good puffy date and good coffee or natural yogurt with banana, walnuts, s sliced ​​fruit, good ham, cheese, wine… These are my sins. They have calories, but I don’t count them. And if on Sunday you are with your family and enjoy what is on the table, then the next day you return to a good routine. No guilt!
