Endocrinologist, doctor at the Gemotest laboratory Olga Makhrova told how to determine the causes of excess weight gain.
In a conversation with URA.RU, she stated that the main reason is the imbalance between calorie intake and expenditure. Lifestyle, including lack of exercise, stress and poor eating habits, also plays a role.
“A person moves little, but is nervous a lot, and in order to get rid of stress and cheer himself up, he treats himself to something tasty.” Most often, high-calorie foods containing fat, sugar and starch – sources of energy – are perceived as tasty,” Makhrova explained.
Hormonal imbalances also affect weight gain, the expert added.
Earlier, endocrinologist and nutritionist at the SM Clinic Armine Afonina said that not only sweets can increase blood sugar levels.
