Fast food has never been good for anyone. It's not just about ruining your figure or snacking on the go.
Such food is the shortest path to chronic diseases that start with extra pounds. And the problems can be very different: from obesity to diabetes and liver diseases.
But what if you can’t, but really want to eat something from this category?
Probably, you can allow yourself to eat something unhealthy once every two weeks, as long as it fits into your daily calorie intake. Fast food and other unhealthy foods are very high in calories, so you shouldn't eat them more often, - endocrinologist and nutritionist Ekaterina Kazachkova told Sputnik radio in an interview.
But you need to know that the listed diseases are not an exhaustive list.
Fast food is rich in calories. Therefore, the specialist advises to have a certain idea of the number of calories burned and consumed with such food.
It is best to pay attention to vegetables and fruits.
They contain an abundance of fiber, which can partially absorb the trans fats consumed.
