Nutritionist's Controversial Method for Sugar Cravings Sparks Debate

A nutrition expert's unconventional method to fight sugar cravings is gaining attention on social media. Dr. Guillermo R. Navarrete, PhD in Human Nutrition, uses the "5-second rule" to illustrate the fleeting nature of pleasure from sugary treats versus their long-term health effects. His video demonstrates a technique involving fist-clenching and the middle finger to reinforce refusal. "The pleasure is only seconds, but the negative effects can last for hours," Dr. Navarrete explains. While some viewers appreciate his direct approach, others criticize the use of the middle finger. The video's unique approach has sparked discussion on healthy habits and appropriate communication styles.
