The nutritionist pointed out that it is impossible to adjust the figure with one sport

Nutritionist Alla Makarova said that it will not be possible to adjust the figure by sports alone.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, February 4, she noted that she noted that with increased physical activity, especially strength training, a person's appetite and need for nutrients increase dramatically. According to her, a common mistake is that people start eating more of the usual and often harmful foods — sweets, pastries and fast food.

She explained that such food provides only "empty" calories and does not provide the body with vitamins and trace elements necessary for muscle repair and energy maintenance. In this regard, the nutritionist recommends that you adjust your diet at the same time as you start training, making it more nutritious and balanced.

According to Makarova, every meal should include natural sources of protein, healthy fats and slow carbohydrates. Proteins are essential for the growth and repair of muscle tissue, fats are involved in metabolic processes and help maintain muscles, and slow carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy, supporting performance, mood and concentration.

The expert stressed that the combination of active training with a low-calorie or unbalanced diet does not bring results, as it leads to loss of strength, lack of energy and progress, writes "Moscow 24".
