Nutritionists talked about the importance of limiting oil for weight loss

The impact of various foods on health has recently become very relevant, and it is especially important to note the role of butter in the daily diet. While the issue of reducing sugar and carbohydrates is actively discussed, butter consumption often remains in the background, despite its equally dangerous health and weight. This was reported on September 23 in the China Daily magazine.

"Many people think that sugar is very high in calories, but in fact there are twice as many of them in oil. <...> Imagine: 20 g of vegetable oil (about two tablespoons) when frying contains 180 calories, which is equivalent to the energy consumption for a 40-minute high-intensity workout. In other words, since vegetable oil does not stimulate the taste buds directly, like sweets, its caloric content is often overlooked, which often contributes to weight gain in more subtle ways," the experts said in the material.

Research shows that excessive consumption of butter is associated with blocking satiety signals in the body, which makes us more prone to overeating. In addition, high consumption of butter in food can alter metabolism and cause long-term health problems such as obesity and other chronic diseases.

To reduce oil consumption and reduce its negative effects, experts offer several simple but effective recommendations. The first step is to use special containers to control the amount of oil, as well as to prefer vegetable oils over animal ones. In addition, prepare food using steaming, boiling and cold dressing methods, and try to minimize frying and deep-frying.

"However, remember that you should not excessively reduce your oil intake and do not abstain from it to the extreme, since salt, oil and sugar are the most important nutrients for the human body, but their excessive consumption can negatively affect your health," the article concluded.
