Excessive consumption of pancakes during Maslenitsa can lead to health problems.
Therefore, you should not eat more than four pancakes at a time.
This was reported by the Izvestia publication, citing doctors.
How many pancakes can you eat on Maslenitsa
As Olga Shuppo, founder and scientific director of the Grand Clinic chain of clinics, explained in a commentary to the publication, when consuming fatty foods, a larger amount of bile is released.
In people with problems with the bile ducts, this can cause an exacerbation.
Only a healthy body can cope with the double load of fatty foods and carbohydrates, Shuppo warned.
According to her, you can eat no more than four pancakes at a time, and it is better to limit yourself to one or two.
Dietitian and endocrinologist Dzhaneta Borlakova told us how to reduce the calorie content of Maslenitsa pancakes.
According to her, this can be done by using low-fat products, rye or buckwheat flour.
Try to limit or completely eliminate sugar in the dough, the nutritionist recommended.
She advised using protein-rich products as filling: caviar, creamy cottage cheese, chicken.
Borlakova also recommended serving pancakes with vegetables, greens and fruits. The fiber they contain prolongs the feeling of satiety.
