What is the simplest diet you can live on?

Under the diet, each meal should consist of four handfuls of food — one handful of protein, one of carbohydrates, and two of vegetables — plus a spoonful of fat. This means no calorie counting or weighing food portions, which can be difficult if you're on the go or don't own kitchen scales.

Suzy Wengel, a Danish dietitian who's the CEO of a biotech company, wrote the book "The Scandi Sense Diet." Her eating plan is based on the simple principle of using handfuls to measure portions of food for each meal. Each meal should consist of four handfuls — one of protein, one of carbohydrates, and two of vegetables — plus a spoonful of fat. Wengel says she lost 88 pounds in 10 months by following this diet and has kept the weight off since. Business Insider spoke to Wengel over email about her weight loss and the diet. When it comes to health and well-being, simplicity is key. If something can fit into your daily routine and not feel like too much of a chore, you're probably more likely to stick to it. Suzy Wengel, a Danish dietitian who's the CEO of a biotech company, believes she has the answer to weight loss and healthy eating. In her book "The Scandi Sense Diet," she details a plan that the beauty and health blog Get the Gloss called "the simplest diet in the world." Under the diet, each meal should consist of four handfuls of food — one handful of protein, one of carbohydrates, and two of vegetables — plus a spoonful of fat. This means no calorie counting or weighing food portions, which can be difficult if you're on the go or don't own kitchen scales. Wengel, 39, found inspiration for her book through her personal experience. She told Business Insider she lost 88 pounds in 10 months and kept it off by deploying her handful strategy at mealtimes. "I weighed around 220 pounds (15.7 stone) when I was at my heaviest (after giving birth to my second child) and now I am around 132 pounds (9.4 stone)," she said in an email. "My weight has been stable for over six years using the principles in 'The Scandi Sense Diet.'"

"I repeatedly lost 44–66lb and put it back on again, gaining a little more weight each time," she said in the caption. "After seventeen years I finally stopped yo-yo dieting and #overeating. "There is no magic behind my method and tools — just a healthy and balanced view on diet and exercise." Wengel estimates that with this diet a person could lose on average about 1 to 2 pounds a week. She says the handful plan translates to roughly to 1,500 calories a day for women and 2,000 for men. And the good news is you can still factor in a glass of red with your spaghetti Bolognese (by swapping out pasta), as well as cook with oil and butter.

What does a 4-handful meal look like?

Here are some of Wengel's snaps that could work for a full day of eating — spaghetti Bolognese included — along with the handful content written in each of the captions.
