Nutritionists have revealed the main reason why, even with significant physical activity, excess weight does not go away.
There is one insidious habit that most people consider normal, or simply ignore.
Most often, it is this habit that blocks the process of losing weight. This habit is snacking between main meals.
There are many diets now. Fractional nutrition is becoming popular. It is believed that if a person eats the right food in small portions all day long, it is good for him.
If done correctly, under the supervision of a nutritionist, it can be effective. But in most cases, it does more harm than good.
Every snack causes a release of insulin into the blood. And this in turn puts the process of losing weight to a halt.
It is important to note that different foods have different effects on insulin release.
If the basis of the snack is sugar-containing products or fast carbohydrates, the release of insulin will be maximum. Therefore, snacks on sweet pastries or a "healthy" banana can be the main reason for slowing down the process of losing excess weight.
By eating 5-6 times a day, a person accustoms his body to constant insulin releases.
This in turn can cause resistance (addiction) to insulin. Accordingly, such a diet can easily become a direct path to type 2 diabetes.
Sharp spikes in insulin from eating foods with a high glycemic index result in an equally sharp drop in blood sugar levels.
A person feels this as a strong feeling of hunger.
Hands may "tremble", dizziness and other unpleasant symptoms may occur. Usually in such cases they say "the sugar level has dropped". And to relieve such symptoms they consume products with a high sugar content, thereby aggravating the problem.
A natural and healthy type of nutrition is eating three times a day. If the feeling of hunger becomes unbearable, it is better to give preference to products with a low glycemic index.
