The doctor named the main problem with weight loss

General practitioner, cardiologist and nutritionist Philip Kuzmenko spoke about the main problem that prevents weight loss.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, September 10, he said that losing weight is a cognitive trap.

The expert noted that according to recent studies, in 70% of cases, after trying to lose weight, people gain even more weight than they initially did. A person begins to eat right and count calories, but after reaching the goal relaxes, and the weight gradually returns.

He clarified that it is necessary to seriously lose weight only if obesity is dangerous to health — then the doctor can prescribe medication. And if there is only a small excess of weight, it is better to learn how to rationalize about food and yourself, listening to your natural feelings.

Kuzmenko stressed that it is important to respect the feeling of hunger and satiety and accept your body, even if it seems imperfect.
