When losing weight, many people will encounter such confusion. They don’t eat much every day and insist on exercising. Why does their weight increase instead? The more you lose, the more you become?
If you are experiencing this situation, don’t rush to deny yourself, because - weight loss does not necessarily mean failure to lose weight. Losing weight does not mean losing weight, the key is to look at body fat.
You will find that two people of the same weight, such as you and most fitness coaches, look very good in figure and have a lot of lines, while you look very bloated? The reason for is that the former is much smaller than the latter's muscle and fat with the same weight. Therefore, when fat is reduced and muscle increases, weight loss or even rises, which should be a pleasure. There is no problem with the current weight loss method of , just keep sticking to it.
Of course, if you do not belong to this type of person, the more you lose weight, the fatter you become. You should check whether you have made the following three mistakes, which are likely to be the root cause of your unsuccessful weight loss.
1. Dieting to lose weight
When it comes to how to lose weight, many people first think of dieting, and achieve the "weight loss purpose" by limiting caloric intake.
However, when you have low energy intake for a long time, the body will enter the "power saving mode" by reducing basal metabolism , which will cause a rebound once you resume your diet. Not only that, behind the rapidly falling weight numbers you see, what is reduced is not fat, but muscle and moisture . As for the many harms to the body, I won’t go into details here. In short, relying on dieting to lose weight will make you lose weight more and more.
2. Only exercise, but not control your diet
In addition to dieting and losing weight, if you only exercise but not control your diet, it will also put your weight loss path into an embarrassing situation. This type of people often develop a "compensation mentality" after exercise, thinking that they have worked so hard, so it's okay to reward themselves after exercise, right? then took the opportunity to eat and drink freely, and the calorie intake was severely exceeded.
Not only that, the calories consumed during exercise are often not proportional to the calories we consume after exercise. I mean, maybe you can only consume a few hundred calories after exercising for half an hour, but in fact it is not enough to consume the extra burger chicken leg set meal you eat. This is the fundamental reason why you insist on exercising but not losing weight.
Or according to the sentence, the so-called three-point practice and seven-point eating. Only by exercising and eating can you successfully lose weight.
3. Only eat vegetables to lose weight
When losing weight, many people will fall into this cognitive misunderstanding, thinking that vegetables are healthy and have low calories, and eating more vegetables can lose weight. However, what makes you fat is not a certain type of food, but is caused by excessive calorie intake - in other words, even vegetables will become fat if you eat a lot every day. Moreover, some vegetables are actually staple foods, such as potatoes, yam , taro, etc. If you eat too much of these "vegetables", you will not only fail to lose weight, but will make you fat.
Remember, the essence of controlling diet is not to eat less or just eat "healthy foods". It should be to ensure a balanced nutritional diet while controlling calorie intake. Eat some cereals, proteins, fruits and vegetables, and eat a little bit of everything, which will help fat metabolism.
