Not all vegetables are created equal, says nutritionist.
To lose weight , should you give up buns and sugar and switch to vegetables? The first part of this statement may be true, but as for the second & # 8230; Among the vegetables there are real werewolves in the skin: seemingly harmless and even useful, but in fact they play on the side of extra pounds. Here is a list of unreliable vegetables that are definitely not worth trusting, Chronicle.info reports with reference to Domashny Ochag.
Carrots
Strike to the heart: so bright, so tasty, so healthy & # 8230; and so sweet! It is the high sucrose content that makes carrots dangerous for our figure, especially if you eat them in unlimited quantities. Therefore, one, well, maximum, two things a day — and no more!
Cucumbers
No, no, by themselves they do not make us fat. Moreover, in summer they are practically essential for our health, as they contain a lot of water and help maintain the balance of moisture in the body and resist dehydration. But there is too little fiber in cucumbers, and therefore they are digested too quickly and we want to urgently chew something else. And then another, and another, and another & # 8230; Insidious cucumbers!
Beets
A very healthy and tasty root vegetable, but, unfortunately, it contains a lot of sugar, starch and carbohydrates. Beets should be eaten with caution, first of all, for those who have high blood sugar levels — this vegetable can lead to surges in glucose. But even if you're okay and you're not in danger of glucose resistance, don't get too carried away: there are studies that show that eating beets stimulates the body to store, not use, fat.
Peas
Fresh green peas in pods — what could be tastier? And what could be more high-calorie? Peas are good for our health as they contain a lot of healthy fiber, but they are also rich in starch and other nutrients that help store fat around our waist. So keep an eye on your serving size (but don't give it up entirely!).
Corn
If you have a sugar problem or are serious about losing weight, unfortunately, you will have to give it up altogether. from corn. This vegetable contains too much sugar, which can cause spikes in glucose and disrupt healthy insulin levels in the body. We're sorry.
