Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova: in order to avoid excess weight, fruits should not be eaten in the evening and on an empty stomach.
For people who are trying to lose weight or are trying to prevent the appearance of excess weight, doctor Pavlova reminded them of the importance of eating fruits and sweet vegetables correctly. According to the doctor, the gifts of nature, containing fructose and other sugars, if eaten improperly, can act on the body in much the same way as traditional sweets in the form of sweets or pastries.
What does the doctor advise?
Eat only in the morning. To maintain a figure, sweet lovers should eat their favorite treats at the beginning of the day, the expert says. This principle should be followed regardless of what is eaten – fruit or dessert.
“In the evening, we have the highest level of insulin activity, and anything sweet that is eaten at this time greatly increases its level and the process of fat formation. We eat everything sweet – be it chocolate or fruit – in the first half of the day, ”said Zukhra Pavlova.
Do not eat on an empty stomach.The endocrinologist explained that fruits eaten on an empty stomach contribute to a powerful increase in blood sugar levels, which is associated with increased insulin production – this process stimulates fat deposition. In addition, fruits eaten on an empty stomach increase the concentration of fructose in the blood – this disrupts healthy appetite mechanisms and makes a person feel very hungry soon after such a snack.
