Western stars have popularized, but highly dangerous weight loss injections can be replaced with simple and beneficial products. This was reported by Dubai-based dietician Maria AbiHanna to Daily Mail she revealed. According to her, products like avocado have such an effect.
According to the doctor, this medication mimics the effect of the GLP-1 hormone (a hormone produced in the intestine after eating). This hormone affects the brain, creating a feeling of fullness. However, the drug has several dangerous side effects: in mild cases — nausea, vomiting, constipation, or the opposite — diarrhea may occur.
The dietician points out that "healthy" fats can also provide this effect, but they do not harm the entire organism. For example, adding avocados, along with walnut oil or fatty fish to the diet is possible. According to her, as much as people fight against fats in their diet, they are very important for weight loss.
“These fats help the body absorb essential minerals and vitamins, particularly vitamin D, and also reduce the risk of heart diseases. Additionally, proteins, especially eggs, Greek yogurt, and edamame beans, help individuals feel full for a longer period and prevent cravings,” — she said.
Also, according to the doctor, fiber plays an essential role in daily nutrition. For example, chia seeds, lentils (masoor), and wheat improve the digestive system's activity and provide a lasting feeling of fullness.
“Think about a source of long-lasting energy, not short-term carbohydrates,” — advises the dietician.
