10 "INCREDIBLY HARMFUL" FOODS THAT DIETICIANS THEMSELVES EAT
A beautiful young woman with a glass of freshly squeezed juice in her hand and a plate with a very "green" salad in front of her - such an image, imposed by advertising, pops up before your eyes every time the word "dietician" is pronounced. In fact, the representative of this profession can be anyone, and the diet of his food may well not meet the generally accepted standards of proper nutrition. And this, according to scientists from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, is quite normal, because the classification of food for "good" and "bad" increasingly leads only to confusion.
An excellent example can be the following 10 food products, which once adherents of a healthy lifestyle have been forgotten, although one could simply do with moderation in their use. Needless to say, all this time the dieticians themselves did not even think to completely exclude this food from their menu! It's also good for us all to follow their example, if suddenly we once succumbed to a common hysteria, undeservedly expelling certain products from our kitchens.
- Egg -
For a long time it was believed that egg white is the only thing that is worth eating as a packed product in a shell. In many respects, the myth developed because of the gaining muscle mass of athletes for whom 6 grams of protein in each egg became a vital necessity for muscle growth. 70 same kcal, the lion's share of which is contained in the yolk, along with it were sent to the trash. But for an average person, eating only 1-2 eggs a day, there is no harm from the increased caloric content of the product, but the benefits are a lot. Initiate at least with holin - an anti-inflammatory substance in the yolk, which protects against neurological diseases and stimulates the production of serotonin and dopamine.
- Potatoes -
Expelled from the menu during the fitness craziness of the 90's, the potato again regains its position in people's nutrition. Its main trump cards are nutrients, vitamins C and B, iron, potassium and fibers in the composition. In order not to be disappointed in potatoes, do not forget about the moderation (after all, 160 kcal per average tuber), the balance and healthy ways of cooking, among which there has never been roasting in boiling oil. Boiling, or even better - baking! Here, what techniques are used by dieticians themselves during the preparation of potatoes.
- Pasta -
The secret that allows you not to part with your favorite pasta for a week is simply to equip it with vegetables in your plate. Seriously, to be considered quite healthy, your macaroni just needs some onions, peppers, zucchini, spinach or broccoli! Well, do not forget that the increased level of starch is easily leveled by olive oil, nuts and lean protein from chicken or fish.
- Beer -
You can even easily meet your dietician in a pub with a glass of beer in front of you, not red wine, as we were taught to think of some questionable blogs about healthy eating. In this case, he will not be tormented by remorse because it is proved that beer in moderate amounts (calculated individually) is an excellent source of antioxidants, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Let me remind you again of moderation and move on the list.
- Coffee -
Loaded with antioxidants and coffee, but, as in the case of beer, you need to know the measure. A cup of a fragrant drink with a small amount of skim milk in the morning fits perfectly into the program of a healthy diet. In this case, no sweet cream and syrup! A minimum of sugar! And do not forget to drink enough water after coffee, and also drink tea (not necessarily green!) With your craving for coffee throughout the rest of the day.
- Raisins -
Dried fruits are insidious in that they continue to contain as much fructose as fresh fruit, although their quantity is always much less because of the lost moisture. In addition, some dried fruits are specially sweetened to hide the astringency or sourness. Grapes do not need it, so raisin in a controlled amount is completely safe for your waist. By the way, remember that a cup of grapes is just ¼ cup in a "raisin" equivalent, when the next time you measure out a portion of this wonderful product.
- Peanut butter -
Yes, this kind of oil is quite saturated with fats, but do not forget that thanks to the content of a peanut protein, its satiety can envy even a banana. True, all this is true for natural peanut butter without admixtures of corn syrup and trans fats, as well as people with an increased level of control over themselves, who do not forgive themselves a couple of extra sandwiches.
- Bread -
By the way about sandwiches that could not be cooked without one more "persecuted" product, but still used by people thinking of food - bread. The main thing is not to forget "take everything from bread," namely, to choose varieties of whole-grain flour, which preserved the entire natural set of nutrients from grains. About white bread, devoid of a herd of processing the grain of bran, and with them - vitamins and fiber, it is better to forget.
- Bacon -
No matter how the researchers tried to "hang" on bacon with a proven high content of saturated fat, all the blame for cardiovascular disease, but an unambiguous verdict could not be rendered. On the contrary, monitoring of 20,000 women found no evidence to protect a low-fat diet from diseases of this species. But the feelings of satisfaction and satiety that arise and do not soon pass after eating bacon, contribute to improving the process of losing weight. It turned out that sometimes, to lose weight, you need to eat what you like, not what is supposedly helping to lose weight. Paradox, but very nice.
- Sweets -
The principle of "bacon" works in the case of sweets, but there are even more pitfalls.Of course, to have a sweet effect without consequences, you need to control its quantity, and this is by far not everyone's power. Therefore, the best option is a "controlled breakdown", when you do not refuse yourself in special cases, for example, in the case of a birthday cake. Nutritionists claim that a couple of hundreds of extra calories are not worth the stresses that your body still "zazet" more calories, but from a less tasty and supposedly more "healthy" list of foods. Moreover, as we have already understood today, this concept is too conditional to blindly follow it.
