The doctors told how not to get fat during the “gluttonous week” and how to eat the main Pancake week delicacy correctly.
There is hardly a hostess who has not baked pancakes this week. Painfully, this is an attractive tradition – to overeat the entire Shrovetide week, which lasts from March 4 to 10. True, there is one danger – to gain a couple of extra pounds. And doctors warn that overeating pancakes is also harmful to health. But you can still allow yourself to relax a little.
As Elena Livantsova, a nutritionist at the Clinic of Clinical Nutrition of the Federal Research Center of Nutrition and Biotechnology, said, if you follow your figure, you can eat 2 – 3 pancakes at a time. And not every day, but 2 – 3 times a week. “One pancake contains about one hundred kilocalories,” the doctor is quoted as saying.“With reference to RIA Novosti.
A colleague of Elena Livantsova, gastroenterologist Vladimir Pilipenko added that pancakes harm not only the figure, but also health. The way pancakes themselves are not too fatty, and not too heavy for digestion, but the additives that are served with them are usually much more harmful than the pancakes themselves. Sour cream, jam, caviar – fat, sugar and excess salt, which are not very useful for health.
To minimize harm, it is better to cook pancakes yourself: put less sugar, butter, replace wheat flour with whole grain or buckwheat flour. All in all, make the perfect dough. As additives, it is worth serving honey, yogurt or low-fat sour cream; fillings made of low-fat cottage cheese with dried fruits or berries are good. And you can cook pancakes with vegetables or even herbs. It is better to eat pancakes for breakfast and certainly hot, otherwise the fats contained in pancakes will break down worse.
