Eating fruits and sweets on an empty stomach can lead to belly fat.
Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova warned about this in her Telegram channel.
As Pavlova explained, it is better to eat fruits and sweets in the first half of the day, but not on an empty stomach.
Fruits and sweets on an empty stomach, the doctor explained, sharply increase blood sugar, which provokes increased insulin synthesis.
And this energy vector will go towards building adipose tissue, the endocrinologist noted.
According to her, fruits and sweets should not be eaten in the evening under any circumstances, since this is when the level of insulin activity is highest.
Any sweets you eat at this time will greatly increase your insulin levels and the fat formation process, Pavlova warned.
