If during the winter months you managed to gain a few extra pounds, then now is the time to start getting rid of them – you will have time by the summer. But you shouldn’t torture yourself every day in the gym, working out to the point of exhaustion – doctors are sure that this will not save you. Leading expert of the NTI Healthnet market and the Healthy Health union, doctor Andrey Martyushev-Poklad, told how to lose weight by summer without harm to your health.
In a conversation with RIA Novosti (18+), the expert gave several recommendations:
- remove sources of chronic distress. These include lack of sleep or poor sleep quality, as well as alcohol consumption;
- optimize your nutrition. This is definitely not about restricting calories, but about including whole animal products, vegetables and a minimum of carbohydrates in the diet;
- add movement to your life. Walking, rhythmic low-frequency exercises, strength exercises, exercises for flexibility and joint mobility are enough, that is, the simplest exercises aimed at regulating the nervous system and triggering hormonal signals.
As Andrey Martyushev-Poklad clarifies, in fact the role of movement in losing weight is quite modest, 80% comes from nutritionso this point is more important. If you are content with only training, then you will not be able to adjust your weight.
