Dietitian and nutritionist Alexandra Noev gave advice to those with a sweet tooth on how to properly lose those hated pounds. In order to lose weight, you need to follow certain rules every day.

— The love for sweets is quite understandable. When a person eats sweets, the level of glucose in his blood increases and the hormone serotonin is released, a hormone responsible for a good mood, the doctor shares with FAN.

Sweets are insidious, after 30-40 minutes the blood sugar level will drop and a person will experience drowsiness, apathy, and loss of strength. The body begins to signal that the next dose is needed, and it becomes a vicious circle.

In order to get rid of addiction you need to follow several rules.

The first step: write down everything sweet that goes into your mouth. Every carbohydrate product, every candy, glass of sweet soda, juice, piece of cookie, banana, dry food, etc. In the evening you will be surprised at the amount you eat.

Second step : start reducing the amount of sweets right in the morning. Reduce the amount of sugar in your coffee, don’t finish the cake after your children, and don’t share sweets with your husband.

Third step: in the store you need to buy exactly enough sweets to last for one time. You can’t keep treats at home; they should become a delicacy.

Fourth step : choose only the best sweets that give you pleasure, and do not sweep away “everything that is not nailed down.”

- Remember which cafe serves your favorite eclairs and go there on foot. This is a must. Choose lower-calorie sweets, such as stevia cheesecake with berries, sugar-free ice cream, curd mousse with dark chocolate,” noted Alexandra Noev.

Fifth step: set time limits until which you are allowed to eat sweets. It is best to exclude desserts after 2 pm and strictly monitor this.

Step six: drink more water. Often the body gives us signals that fluid is required, and we think that we are hungry.

Seventh step: increase physical activity, sun, air, water are our best friends.

- Craving something sweet? Drink warm water, do squats, open the window, or better yet, go outside and take a walk! The pleasure you will get is no less than from eating sweets,” the expert concluded.

Earlier, the chief freelance nutritionist of the Russian Ministry of Health, scientific director of the Federal Research Center for Nutrition, Biotechnology and Safety, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Viktor Tutelyan explained why in the cold season it is desirable to give preference to affordable seasonal vegetables and fruits rather than exotic ones, the Izvestia newspaper writes.
