A doctor with 24 years of experience - on how to reduce the harm from eating a cake
The topic of sweet does not leave my readers. So let me try to summarize all my knowledge and experience to suggest how to reduce problems from cakes.
In general, you must understand that this is just high-calorie food, and such that after it you want to eat even more. This is due to the effect of sugar on the pancreas, a huge amount of insulin shoots into the blood, the excess of which provokes hunger.
1. The most important rule: eat sweets only after a hearty lunch or breakfast. Having received plenty of food, the hunger center will already respond less to new signals: it is already full and satisfied. That is why snacking only on cake provokes overeating.
2. You don’t have to stand up for yourself in order to gobble up a cake later. Eat more when you're hungry.
3. You don't have to eat the whole cake. If you bite a little and at the same time do not drink tea or coffee, so as not to wash off the taste, then perhaps half is enough for you. But after half an hour or an hour - drink more water. In general, the observance of the correct water regime helps to neutralize many liberties in nutrition.
4. Which cake to choose? containing protein. Read the label: there should be eggs, cottage cheese, maybe some other source of protein. And do not try to determine the composition of the product by eye. For example, there are marshmallows on egg white, and sometimes from whipped berry puree and agar-agar. We choose the first option.
5. And the last thing: if you have already decided to eat something sweet, then eat it with pleasure and without mental anguish. Our body does not bill you every day. And you can compensate for the extra 300 kilocalories tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
