They alert about the danger of 'miracle' diets in people with diabetes

Given the increase in cases of obesity and metabolic diseases, a "bombardment" of diets that do not have the minimum balanced feed characteristics or promote healthy habits has emerged

According to the National Nutrition and Health Survey of Half Camino 2016, carried out by the National Institute of Public Health, the incidence of obesity in the Mexican population continues to increase, while the number of people with diabetes exceeds 9 million.At the same time, there is a growing bombardment of numerous diets that promise to reduce body weight and even control blood glucose levels in a short time.

"In different media, mainly on the Internet, false promises are promoted, such as losing up to six kilos a week, reducing four sizes per month and controlling diabetes through different feeding plans that are not endorsed by medical specialists," says theDoctor Armando Dávalos Ibáñez, endocrinologist and former president of the Mexican Association for the study of obesity.

Because obesity is a risk factor for developing diabetes and that a significant percentage of people who already suffer from the disease are overweight and are told that those kilos of more fall into the networks of those “miracle” diets.

In this context, the specialist warns that these plans do not have the minimum characteristics of a balanced diet and do not promote physical activity or healthy habits.“Far from benefiting, they harm the health of people desperate to get rid of obesity, since they are unbalanced and restrictive, which generates negative effects on the body and this is aggravated in people with diabetes because they can suffer metabolic alterations that prevent them fromKeep your glucose levels under control. ”

Mexico spends $ 180 billion to address diabetes ... and almost the same to address its effects

In fact, following such a feeding plan over time generates the opposite effect, because at the beginning weight is lost, but then recovers and even won more kilos, which increases insulin resistance and unbalanced levels ofBlood glucose.

“By undergoing such restrictive regimes, not only fat is lost, but muscle mass and water, which reduces the body's ability to consume calories.In fact, it is proven that the well -developed muscles burn more calories and, after following a very rigorous diet, reduce their size and make caloric consumption difficult, ”explains Dr. Dávalos Ibáñez.

In addition, when leaving the diet, people eat again as they did before and even more due to the prohibitions they suffered.The body does not know how to distinguish between dietary regime of reduction and state of nutritional lack, so it will now tend to accumulate more fat reserves to address emergency situations.

“If these diets really work we would see less obese people walking down the street and more people with their diabetes under control.None of the ‘miraculous’ eating regimes that are disseminated by the different media is effective.Therefore, it is essential to take into account that the only way to lose weight and with lasting results is to learn to eat healthy, which can always be achieved with the advice of a medical specialist, ”says Dr. Dávalos Ibáñez.

True, all diets worse because they end up creating a bad relationship with food.It is best to eat what makes you feel good and as freer and less obsessions with it better.

We eat with the mind?

That's right, what I call the diet mentality makes us constantly controlling what we eat.
And?

Not working.Control generates anxiety and finally eating in excess.

A psychologist interested in diets?

Many patients belittled by not getting weight loss, so I investigated until I created my own method to lower weight.

You say that diets are useless.

There are scientific evidence that demonstrates it.And also that the constant repetition of diets causes overweight.

Tell me about those studies.

The phenomenon of the diets was first studied during World War II by Dr. Ancel Keys, which found that when the diet ended, people have a psychological need to eat everything they had not been able to and a physical need to recoverThe weight they lost with the diet.

have these conclusions be corroborated by subsequent studies?

Yes, in 1992, the National Institute of Health (NIH) investigated why the Americans gained weight when there were more and more people doing diets.His conclusion was that diets do not work.

Dr. Mann and his team of researchers from the University of California in Los Angeles (2007) reviewed 31 long -term studies on diets and concluded that doing diets is a predictment to gain weight in 66% of cases.

A novel study conducted in Finland in 2011, by Peitilaineet, with 2,000 couples of twins from 16 to 25 years, showed that the diet itself, regardless of genetics, is associated with fattening.

The twin who was diet, even if it was only once, had 2 to 3 times more possibilities of gaining weight than the one who did not.They found that the risk of overweight increased with each new diet, the more diets made, the more possibilities of gaining weight.

but in theory you reduce calories ...

When you make a diet the metabolism is reduced because the tonsil, whose function is that the body survives, does not know if it is a diet or a famine and causes the rebound effect.Eating everything you have not been able to eat during the diet is not just something emotional, it is physical.

But today the diets are very balanced, they do not kill you hungry.

Every diet implies a control that leads to anxiety and finally to lack of control ....

repeated

Easier than diet is changing habits.Remove the fried, for example.

The reason why weight is usually gained after following a diet is because if the calories are very restricted, the body gets used to and goes on to use less calories, enters savings mode.Once you eat again as before the diet, you fattening very easily because your body is still in savings mode.
It makes no sense to make very restrictive diets in calories to lose weight, what you have to do is learn to eat.Leave the defendants and other products which is what fattens and eat fresh product, which is called real food.That way it is difficult to gain weight because your body is going to tell you when to stop eating because you will be satiated.With prosecuted this does not happen and you eat much more than you need.In addition to that they are full of sugars, bad fats and additives very harmful to health.
