What attracts me most about this book is the first few chapters. The introduction of the first chapter is: "Open the history books and see what the public's opinions are right?" This sentence, placed in the first sentence of the full text, immediately shocked readers. Is the concept we believe in now really correct? What is the public's perception now? Have I always believed it? After planting the seeds of doubt, it is easier for the author to put forward his own conclusions in the research process. Later, he used his own practice to tell everyone what we have always believed, such as eating more vegetables, eating less saturated fat, exercising more, and eating more w-3 saturated fatty acids ... These are not the most effective ways to lose weight, because the standards are too difficult to grasp. What he wants to tell us is a lifestyle that everyone yearns for: you can eat all the food on your plate and eat whatever you want one day of the week. Even so, you will still be thin!
This is completely different from our normal thinking, because the energy consumed by our human body during exercise is actually insignificant compared with basic metabolism. You sweat like rain on the treadmill 1 hour, which only consumes 7 calories more than lying on the sofa watching TV. The idea that the author hopes to convey to us is to use the characteristics of the human body to lose weight, rather than making extra efforts through exercise or dieting. In other words, he hopes to improve basal metabolism with the help of hormone regulation in the human body, so that people can lose weight unconsciously. Of course, this does not mean that there is no need to change at all. On the contrary, we have to change a lot, but in fact, we don't need to spend too much willpower at all, and we won't feel tired. His principle is: I only tell you the most critical 2.5% information about fitness and reshaping your life, but these information can bring you 95% reshaping effect.
Then the author talked about the usage of this book: buffet mode. That is, what effect you need to achieve, you can finish reading those chapters at any time, and it is not too late to wait until you need to read others. I see that whether these methods are feasible and really suitable for you needs to be practiced and tested by actions.
* Minimum Effective Amount *
This word appeals to me very much, because we often don't know what is the best stopping time to achieve the effect, which leads us to exercise excessively, just like heating boiling water to 100 degrees, but the effect is greatly reduced. At this time, it is enough to find a minimum effective amount, and the extra fatigue and consumption have little effect. This is actually reminding us that the more time we spend in life, the better the effect. Remember, plan your time reasonably and exchange the minimum cost for the maximum profit.
* Record yourself *
If you really want to lose weight, you must have an understanding of your current situation, because many of our imaginary States are often far from the truth. Once your brain knows, according to the author's observation, nothing changes, and you lose weight. The recorded figures can include weight, upper arm circumference, thigh circumference, waist circumference, daily diet and so on.
* Low-carb diet *
Put an end to all white carbohydrates, rice, noodles, steamed bread and so on. Eggs, vegetables and beans can be eaten to your heart's content, and you must be full. No dairy products, no fruit, no drinks (a little coffee). There may be many restrictions, but you can eat those taboo foods once a week. The more the better, not only can satisfy their repressed desires, but also can promote metabolism and prevent the body from entering a state of low metabolism.
* Kettle balls *
I have never heard of this kind of sports equipment, which successfully makes a person lose 50kg. This is a full-body exercise, which can make you lose energy while pitching. If conditions permit, I think I will try this sport.
Finally, my biggest gain is to think about the problem from another level. The human body is a complex mechanism. If you don't save energy, you won't get fat, and there are many uncertain factors in internal friction. Therefore, it is necessary to observe whether these methods are effective through actions, rather than simply following the footsteps of others. After all, different people eat the same amount of food, and the final result is different.
