Nutritionist linked changing habits with successful weight loss

Daria Savelyeva, an expert on eating behavior, explained why diets don't work, and how to change habits forever.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Thursday, July 2, the expert noted that the problem is not in a piece of cake eaten at a party, but in a person's attitude to nutrition. According to her, weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. People with a tendency to gain weight should not expect that after a short-term diet they will be able to return to their previous habits without consequences. She stressed that you can lose 10 kg, but then quickly gain them back if you do not change your lifestyle.

Savelieva also stated that the desire for a quick result often ends in breakdowns. According to her, you need to start making changes with a conscious decision to control your diet, since overeating remains one of the most common causes of health problems. The expert advised moving gradually: first, add protein to each meal and increase the amount of vegetables in the diet.

On the same day, Julia Kamoeva, an eating psychologist, said that one of the key reasons for unsuccessful attempts to lose weight is the use of food as a way to cope with emotions such as anxiety, boredom or loneliness. In this case, a person eats not because of hunger, but to reduce internal tension, the website reports. kp.ru .

On the eve of July 1, Daria Savelyeva, an expert on eating behavior, said that the tendency to gain weight depends not only on the calorie content of the diet and the level of physical activity, but also on the hormonal background. Insulin plays a key role in this process.

Before that, on June 27, immunologist Andrey Prodeus, in an interview with the National Health Service, advised people who were losing weight not to allow insulin spikes. According to him, to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to eat at least four, preferably five times a day, notes 360.ru .

In April, endocrinologist Yulia Atamanova said that giving up bread is not a prerequisite for weight loss. She stressed that weight gain is due to the abuse of the product, and not because of the bread itself. She called for choosing whole-grain varieties with a calorie content of up to 210 kcal per 100 g, writes RT.
