#Toutiao Creation Challenge# During the process of fat loss, controlling diet is almost something we must do, because only when caloric intake is controlled can the formation of caloric gaps be possible. However, in the process of controlling our diet, we will inevitably experien

So, when we have a big meal and our weight increases, does it mean we have gained weight? Why would it increase if you don’t have weight? Next, let’s talk about this.

First: You won’t get fat after a big meal

First, let’s clarify the answer. Occasionally, eating a big meal will not make us fat (if we eat a big meal more frequently, the situation will be different), even if we don’t need to lose fat. In addition, during the process of fat loss, eating a big meal occasionally will not affect the overall fat loss process. On the contrary, if our plan is reasonable, eating a big meal occasionally will help us better adhere to our fat loss behavior. Why do you say so?

1. Conditions for fat loss

If you want to make yourself lose weight, you must make your daily calorie intake

2. After a big meal, the food will not be completely converted into fat

We know that when calorie intake > consume, we will become fat. However, when calorie intake is too much, it does not mean that too much calories will be converted into fat, because it also depends on the food structure you are ingesting, as follows:

• When the source of excess calories is carbohydrate , the elimination generated It will consume more
• When the excess calorie source is protein , it will help muscle repair and synthesis, rather than converting it into fat
• When the excess calorie source is fat, it will be stored in the body in the form of fat

That is to say, when we eat more and cause excessive calories, the excess calories will not be completely converted into fat. Of course, if the excess calories are all from fat, the situation will be different.

3. It is not a bad thing to eat occasionally

Speaking of which, losing fat is not an easy thing, because it is not easy to control diet and persist in exercise. Putting aside exercise, just talking about diet, controlling diet will not only control one's appetite, in addition to calorie intake, it also controls one's appetite desire. When the calorie intake is insufficient, we will feel hungry; when the appetite desire is not satisfied, we will want to eat more. In the early stage of fat loss, due to strong motivation, willpower will help us control and suppress our appetite. However, as time goes by and weight decreases (reducing weight will lead to a decrease in motivation or even disappear), it will become increasingly difficult to control our diet. In this case, restoring our diet will become a high probability.

. If we can eat a meal in a planned manner to satisfy our desire for food, it can better adhere to our future fat loss behavior. First, when we eat a meal, our appetite will be satisfied, so that we can better adhere to our subsequent behavior; second, after a meal, we will be accompanied by a little guilt, which will make us more actively control our diet and exercise.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to eat a big meal occasionally during the process of fat loss. On the contrary, if handled properly, it will be beneficial to persist in the future.

Second: Why does your weight increase after a big meal

Since it is said that after a big meal, it will not make us fat, then why will your weight increase the next day?

1. Moisture

An important factor that causes weight gain is moisture. When we have a big meal, the moisture in our body will increase, which leads to weight gain. The two important factors that lead to increased water in our body are carbohydrates and salt. Because 1g of carbohydrate will be accompanied by 3g of water. In addition, when too much salt is consumed, it will also increase the body's water. In addition, we will also drink a lot of water due to thirst.

2. Food is not completely digested

In addition to moisture, another reason why weight gains after a big meal is the food itself, which is very easy to understand, because it takes a process to be digested. After a big meal, the food will not be excreted immediately. The fact that the food is not completely digested is also the reason for weight gain.

Summary:

From the above content, we can know that after a big meal, even if the weight increases, the weight that increases is not fat. Therefore, during the fat loss process, there is no need to complain about a big meal, nor do we need to measure weight because we have to prove that we have gained weight. As long as your diet returns to normal within a few days after a big meal, your weight will slowly recover.

So, during the process of losing fat, occasionally eating a big meal will not make you fat. We don’t have to feel anxious because of a brief increase in weight. It would be better to keep a happy mood and face it calmly, because anxiety is also one of the important factors affecting the effect of losing fat.
