An endocrinologist has listed the most harmful pancake fillings for Maslenitsa
An expert listed the most harmful fillings for pancakes and named a healthy alternative.
Nutritionist Ekaterina Kazachkova shared a comment on this topic.
In a conversation with Gazeta.Ru , the doctor said that many unhealthy filling options are popular.
She cited condensed milk, jam, and preserves as examples. The endocrinologist included them among the least healthy fillings for pancakes.
The reason is the high content of simple carbohydrates, which lead to a sharp increase in blood sugar levels.
The doctor also advises against getting carried away with high-calorie pancakes with cheese and sour cream.
And chocolate spread not only contains a lot of calories, but is also full of trans fats and sugar.
It has a very negative effect on metabolism and is one of the products that increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
The doctor also included meat and sausage products, which contain a lot of saturated fats and salt, among the harmful fillings.
What are some healthy alternatives? The doctor advises paying attention to pancakes with cottage cheese, apples and berries.
They contain fiber and protein, and these treats will keep you full for a long time.
Pumpkin is not very popular, although it is a very healthy option. You can also include spinach and other greens.
Avocados are high in calories, but they contain healthy fats.
