My name is Luca Speciani, a well know nutritionist from Italy. In 1982 I finalized my studies in agriculture and food science. Coming from a family of doctors I was of course also very much involved in medical science for which I plan to finalize my degree this year as well.

First of all, I consider myself a runner, which is my passion. At the age of 41 I still run the marathon in a reasonable time (2h30). I have been able to combine my passion with my work as a nutritionist and since 2003 I am a member of the Italian Federation of Athletics (FIDAL). Here I guide and also mentally support many athletes, also through online diaries, to produce their best possible performance through a healthy and balanced diet.

Since 2005 I developed, in cooperation with a famous clinic in Milan, a book called DIETA GIFT. The Dieta Gift is a complete and innovative analysis allowing people order to lose weight without only counting calories and it creates a direct connection between what people eat compared to their performance in life.
