Do you have 6 misunderstandings about weight loss?

   We all know that weight loss is not just a physical activity but also a technical job. If you want to lose weight scientifically, you must have a scientific understanding. Among them, diet control is very important. Establishing a correct concept will help you avoid detours in the process of weight loss

Misunderstanding 1: There is no physical fitness that is prone to fat?

Many people blame their obesity problems on physical fitness, but some experts say that in fact, most people develop a physical fitness that is prone to fat because of wrong eating habits, lack of exercise, irregular living habits, etc., rather than being born to become fat. Even patients with hereditary obesity can adjust their diet, exercise appropriately, and have normal births. Live work and rest to achieve weight loss effect, so don’t use “I’m a fat-prone constitution” as an excuse. Find out the reasons that drive you to be obese and correct it is the solution!

Misconception 2: Eating fruits can make you lose weight?

I often see many friends who are losing weight. They hold an apple to chew hard at lunch, but can you really lose weight? In fact, with the advancement of agricultural technology, more and more sweet fruits have been developed. The sweeter fruits represent the higher the sugar they contain. If you eat too much, you may still consume too much calories and cause obesity!

It is recommended that friends who want to lose weight should avoid treating fruits as a regular meal, and treat them as snacks to replenish energy when hungry between meals, and choose tomatoes. Only fruits with low calories such as guava will not invisibly eat too much calories!

The three major confusions among people who lose weight: Fat cannot be reduced by working hard

Misconception 3: If you want to lose weight, you can't touch starch?

Misconception 3: If you want to lose weight, you can't touch starch?

I believe many people have heard of weight loss methods that do not eat starch, but only eat non-starch foods such as meat and vegetables, but in fact this is a wrong concept. Starch is the energy source that supplies cells throughout the body. If you take it, Not enough can easily cause negative effects such as depression, irritability, decreased attention, weak overall body and even unbalanced nutrition.

This "starch-free weight loss method" actually only uses the human body's lack of starch to burn the liver carb stored in the body as energy, and consumes part of the fat (but the consumption efficiency is not as fast as exercise). However, the fat burned in the absence of starch will produce a toxic by-product called "keto acid" (slow discharge, easy to cause burden on the kidneys) and cause dehydration, creating the illusion of weight loss.

The weight loss method of not eating starch and eating meat is not only unbalanced nutrition and easy to gain weight, but may also cause excessive body fat, causing myocardial infarction, stroke and other dangers. You must be careful!

  Misconception 4: Can you eat as much as you exercise every day?

  Basically speaking, it will cause obesity because the body absorbs more calories than the calories consumed. Therefore, although exercise can reduce weight, be careful to last at least 30 minutes before starting to burn fat. If you just exercise for a few minutes, you will not be able to successfully lose weight. If you want to successfully lose weight, it is best to achieve it with low-intensity and continuous exercise (such as jogging, riding a bicycle) and a moderate diet.

  In addition, if you want to lose weight through exercise, don’t pay too much attention to the figures on the scale in the first two weeks of starting exercise, because muscle mass will increase due to exercise during this period, resulting in a flat or even rising weight, but body fat But it is in a state of decline. If you can continue to maintain your exercise habit and control your diet, I believe you will see results in 2 to 3 weeks.

  Some people just do peace of mind, do it for a few strokes and indulge themselves in a big way without stagnating their food. In the end, it is very likely that they will not lose weight but become fat!

  Misconception 5: You can’t eat carbohydrates for an hour after exercise?

  Everyone often hears "The body's absorption capacity is strong after exercise, so eating at this time can easily lead to obesity." But in fact, this sentence is only half true. The body's absorption capacity is indeed stronger between half an hour and an hour after exercise, but the calories consumed during this period are used to repair the energy and tissue consumed during exercise, and will not become fat accumulation and cause obesity. On the contrary, if carbohydrates and proteins can be properly supplemented (4:1 or 3:1, calories do not exceed 300 calories), it is very helpful for muscle hyperplasia and repair. If no food is supplemented, it is not only fat, but also muscle!

 However, as for the starch intake, it is better to try to avoid single carbohydrates with high sugar such as biscuits and cakes.

Misconception 6: Eat more low-fat foods and are not afraid of getting fat?

Many people who are losing weight will always lose their vigilance against "low-fat foods", believing that low-fat foods can eat more calories if they have low calories, but they eat more calories. An American study once pointed out that when people eat low-fat snacks in cinemas, festival parties, or at home, they will consume 28% more calories than when eating general foods, and low fat does not mean low calories
