Low-fat products are popular.
Many people who want to lose extra pounds choose the shelf in the store with such products, thinking that in this case they will lose weight faster. But is this true?
Nutritionist Olga Lushnikova spoke about this popular myth in an interview with Gazeta.Ru .
The doctor noted that a low-fat diet leads to a host of health problems.
After all, fats are needed for the absorption and synthesis of all fat-soluble vitamins, the production of steroid hormones, and also for beauty and youth.
Lushnikova emphasized that the lower the fat content, the less pleasant the taste, and the more harmful additives and calories.
For example, hydrogenated vegetable fats, trans fats.
Such additives only cause harm to the body.
The doctor named the optimal fat content of dairy products: cottage cheese 5-9%, sour cream 15-20%, butter 82.5%, milk and kefir 2.5%.
