Why does starvation make you fat? 4 big pits on the way to diet and lose weight, how many have you stepped on?

For weight loss, there is a simple concept that everyone understands:

If you eat more, you will get fat, if you eat less, you will lose weight; if you exercise less, you will gain weight, and if you exercise more, you will lose weight.

But moving, too lazy to move, the easiest way is to starve yourself.

Sometimes when I get ruthless, I will be hungry after a few days of more than ten pounds, right?

This looks good, but it is actually exchanging health for weight, and at the same time laying a deep hidden danger for the next rebound.

"Since I have to eat it, can I only eat vegetables and not the staple food? Now people are talking about anti-sugar. If you don't eat the staple food, you can not only grow meat but also fight against sugar. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Is this really possible? Today I will tell you about:

The first pit: lack of staple food

Staple food supplies energy to the brain. During weight loss, many people choose not to eat staple food for a long time. When you do not eat staple food for a long time, you will find various discomforts in your body. The first thing that will appear is dizziness, weakness, and memory loss. , followed by short-tempered, irritable, and girls may have a series of problems such as menstrual disorders, low menstrual blood, and amenorrhea. Therefore, it is a misunderstanding to not eat staple food for a long time to lose weight.

We can appropriately reduce the intake of polished rice and white noodles, try not to consume too much free sugar, and choose other similar ingredients to replace the staple food, such as choosing various grains, beans and various potatoes (yam, sweet potato, purple potato, potato, Taro), can also be corn, pumpkin, etc. For example, I choose sweet potatoes as my staple food at noon~

The second pit: eat only low-calorie fruits and vegetables such as apples or cucumbers

First of all, you will usher in low blood sugar, which may also lead to hazards such as ketoacidosis. Moreover, during the dieting process, due to the artificial restriction of food intake, too little food enters the stomach. If the gastric acid secretion is too much, it will cause stomach discomfort, especially for people with chronic gastritis.

The third pit: quit the fat

This pit is also the biggest misunderstanding in the process of losing weight, such as not eating meat, cooking without oil, which is actually wrong.

To lose weight is to control the intake of fat, not to give up fat completely. Fat is very important. Without it, a series of butterfly effects, such as dull skin, memory loss, non-absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and increased vascular fragility, are not weight loss but life loss.

Fourth pit: lack of protein

If the protein intake is insufficient, the body will consume its own protein to supply energy, and the result will be sallow complexion, loose skin, decreased visceral function, and decreased basal metabolic rate; is this the beauty you want?

"But this diet is really fast to lose weight."

But the rebound is really fast! Have you ever wondered what is the weight you lose while dieting? Is it fat? Or muscle? Or moisture?

When dieting to lose weight, the first thing to lose is water and muscle. It looks fast. But when you start eating again, you gain weight faster. The first thing the body stores is fat. So you bounce from a tight fat guy to a loose fat guy.

The ultimate secret of weight loss is to achieve a negative balance between intake and consumption. That is to say, the less the intake, the better, and the more the consumption, the better, but the premise is that you are healthy and you can't play with your life!

What is the role of L-carnitine?

Our muscles consume fat by transporting fat to mitochondria in muscle cells for oxidative decomposition through respiration. L-carnitine is a coenzyme present in our body that transports fat to mitochondria. Sufficient L-carnitine supplementation can promote the efficiency of fat transport and the rate of oxidative decomposition, thereby promoting the conversion of fat into energy, thus accelerating the consumption of fat.

For our weight loss, let me visualize it, that is: if you consume 10g of fat in a certain exercise, after consuming L-carnitine, doing the same exercise of the same duration and intensity will consume 15g of fat, increasing the efficiency of exercise weight loss. with speed.

Simple explanation:

To fight (to lose weight), soldiers must go to the front line (fatty acid) at this time, but to go to the front line, they have to go through a sea, and the soldiers can't get through, and a ship (L-carnitine) must take the soldiers there. Only then can we fight.

Should I Supplement L-Carnitine?

Although as mentioned above, L-carnitine helps fat metabolism, but normal people are not lacking, the body can synthesize it by itself, and food (such as red meat) can also provide a part. However, if the amount of exercise is extremely large, you can eat in moderation, but at this time, the amount of exercise is still the main factor for weight loss, and L-carnitine is only an auxiliary. But if it is an ordinary person who is on a diet to lose weight, it is ineffective and unnecessary, and it is even less likely to help lose weight.

Sister Bin thought to herself:

In previous articles,

Mentioned to you:

Most people put their weight

As the only indicator of weight loss effectiveness,

But in practice, this often misleads you.

If two people are the same weight and height,

But the fat content is different,

So the posture of these two

could be very different.

The correct weight loss should be:

Strive to change the "really fat" posture of the body,

reduce fat content,

while increasing muscle firmness,

rather than simply losing weight,

Skinny, weak and weak.

Are you losing weight recently?
