Let now our biggest problem will be to lose weight by the summer. So that in the last year's dress to climb, and in a swimsuit itself like. The goals that we set for ourselves, while completely different: someone wants to lose two extra pounds, and someone - and all ten. How to lose weight without harm to health and whether to trust new diets? These and other questions we asked Margarita Koroleva, to. , a dietician, the head of the Center for Aesthetic Medicine, the head of the project "Royal Ration".

- When you need to start to lose weight, to throw off by the summer 5 kg?.

- You need to start right now: for 1-1.5 months you can lose weight by 5 kg without unnecessary suffering. Only it is important not to starve, but to start eating rationally and in order to eventually retain the result. If the weight is within the limits of normal values, they are calculated by the body mass index (BMI), it will decrease slightly more slowly. But here it is important to decide: do you need it at all? For a man of elegant age, for example, these kilograms - not at all superfluous.

- How much can you throw off at all without harm to health?.

- It all depends on your age, your health and how much weight exceeds the norm. And besides - on the ability of the body to part with excess kilograms: not everyone tolerates this process well. Experience shows that the goal to lose more than 10 kg in such a short time is not worth it - it will be too much stress for the body.

- How do you know if you need to lose weight?.

- If your BMI exceeds the norm, if you have a large waist circumference - this is a health risk, so if you already have diseases associated with being overweight, then you must definitely reduce weight. Often people are motivated by the desire to change something in their personal lives - this is also good in the presence of evidence. But the desire to achieve parameters and proportions, like that of some star or model, can not be called a healthy motivation! It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of your physique and constitution. Otherwise, dreams will remain dreams, and the inability to lose weight to the desired result will carry a lot of disappointments. ? - Can I lose weight without exercise?.

- I am for an integrated approach: in order to lose weight, you need to change the nature and diet, and at the same time it is necessary to increase the energy expenditure due to physical exertion. Just "do not eat" is harmful and inefficient.

- How not to ruin your health in the fight against obesity?.

- The main thing - do not trust pseudo diets from the tabloids. Follow their advice - at least recklessly. Maybe, health will not fail, but the result is likely to be short-lived. The process should be managed by a specialist who will draw up a program of step-by-step parting with extra kilograms, taking into account the individual characteristics of a person.

- How do you feel about diets that completely exclude carbohydrates? Why are the inventors of new diets now struggling with carbohydrates instead of fat?.

- I generally do not like the word "diet", when it is applied to the process of reducing body weight. I prefer to talk about a comprehensive program: changing food is just part of it. The exclusion of these or other components of food, whether carbohydrates or fats, has been practiced for more than half a century.

However, it is now clear that it can only be used for short-term programs - as fasting days.

What will entail the exclusion of carbohydrates? In the future, energy deficit, fatigue, asthenia. And, of course, the lack of enzymes, vitamins and antioxidants, which are found in foods containing carbohydrates - in vegetables, fruits, cereals.

- How do you feel about intuitive nutrition? Does this mean in practice that a person allows himself to eat everything he wants, including harmful? How do you really understand what your body needs?.

- You can differently fight the desire to eat more than you need. You can achieve results only if you believe in it. For me, intuitive nutrition is one option to reduce excess body weight. If it inspires - please! There will be a result - excellent! Continue to continue to feed on the idea! If not - go to another program, maybe more rational, more suitable for you. However, I am for changing the eating habits that allowed to intuitively gain excess weight.

- Why in the fight against excess weight at some point, he ceases to leave, although a person still adheres to diet and sports?.

- Weight is reduced only until the time when the amount of calories coming from food is less than the amount of calories consumed. When they are in equilibrium, the period of the "weight plateau". This - the period of adaptation of the organism in new conditions for him. It is very important! You can have patience while continuing to eat rationally, while moderately and regularly doing sports, the process of reducing excess weight will continue, but slowly. Or give it a dynamic due to the unloading unloading days and the increase in intensity or duration of training.

- How do you assess the fashionable movement of body positivism, when women, whose weight often goes far beyond the limits of normal BMI, are proud of their body and actively demonstrate it, urging other "dumplings" to do the same?.

- The main thing is how a person treats his.

appearance. If someone wants to change it, and this almost always has a good reason - let him try. If he wants to leave everything as is, his right. But the aggressive imposition of something I do not welcome.

Among young people there are often different movements, but their followers lack knowledge and experience.

This is just the case. The problem is that both painful leanness and significant excess weight are, above all, health problems. You need to know about this!.

"Why do not you ever eat as a dietician?".

- Perhaps you can try everything. And something new to get a taste experience, and something familiar, but "harmful" to just remind yourself of this taste and again to make sure that there is nothing interesting in this product.
