The doctor told why exercising alone will not help you lose weight

Therapist, nutritionist Elena Tikhomirova said that sports are not enough for weight loss.To lose weight,

You need to maintain a balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates and correctly calculate your diet.

According to the doctor, the norms of dietetics, which arecurrently used, you need to recalculate, because they are obsolete. For example, if a woman who lived 50 years ago consumed 1400 calories, she would lose weight, but if a modern person consumes the same number of calories, nothing will happen.

It's about low physical activity. But even in this case, sport is not a way to lose weight. To do this, it is enough to lose calories.

“When we begin to engage in physicalload, it seems to us that now we will begin to lose weight quickly, but this is not so. Movement in the modern world is very limited, we are all physically inactive people, so for weight loss it doesn’t matter whether you do some kind of sport or not, a lack of calories is enough, ”the expert noted.
