Myths that carbohydrates lead to obesity are still widespread. However, these nutrients do not have fatal influence on body weight - unless, of course, do not use them in huge quantities.
Extra kilograms of fat appear in the body as a result of consumption of a large amount of calories as a whole, and not sugars and starch in particular. This includes calories obtained from any sources - carbohydrates, fats or proteins. In fact, in the first place, the excess calorie of fats is converted primarily into fat tissue, ahead of carbohydrates in this matter.
Sugar himself can not be considered the culprit of the problems. Contrary to the opinion of some well-known specialists in the field of dietology, sugar does not provoke accumulation in the body of adipose tissue. Of course, the insulin level rises during the absorption of carbohydrates - this is absolute truth. And it is quite normal. Insulin regulates the process of accumulation of energy, allowing the body to move glucose contained in the blood into the cells - for their nutrition, to musculature or liver - for storage. Having achieved the necessary norm, insulin and glucose levels in a physically healthy person always return to the initial indicator. Transformation of glucose into fat tissue is possible only if you use more calories than your body requires.
Are people suffering from overweight, eat more sugars than people with a normal body weight? So they are all polls - sweet tooths? Data confirming this assumption does not exist. In general, love for sweets does not mean that the use of sweet food will necessarily lead to abuse. Of course, food containing sugar, such as candy, cookies and desserts, can cause more calorie consumption than necessary. But these excess calories may be contained at all in carbohydrates. The reason for the abuse of food observing some people may rather become love for fatty, and not to sweet. In fact, they get less sugars from food, but more fats - and therefore more calories.
Overweight appears under the influence of the totality of various factors, including heredity, environmental conditions, lifestyle and the choice of food as a whole. So that your weight remains normal, you need to control the total number of calories in the products you have eaten and lead the moving lifestyle. And those who still want to reduce sweets in the diet to a minimum, one can recommend aromatic food additives (for example, cinnamon or vanilla) that will help make a low-calorie diet more attractive.
