What is the key to measure the success of losing weight? When losing weight, many white people think that losing weight means losing weight. I have to look at weighing scale's figures several times a day, and the more I look at them, the more anxious I get. In fact, the key to losing weight is whether your body fat rate and waist circumference have changed.

Water, muscle and fat have a great influence on our weight. Too high body fat rate is the main cause of obesity, that is, too much body fat, so the focus of weight loss is to reduce fat, not muscle and water. Of course, if we eat too much salt, that is, too much sodium, it will cause too much water in our body, but this water will be reduced, so we need to supplement more potassium. Generally speaking, the water in the body will remain in balance.

The muscle mass of our body will gradually decrease in the process of constant obesity. At the same weight, the volume of fat is about three times that of muscle. Muscle can help the body consume more calories, so the increase of muscle is very helpful to lose weight. The level of body heat consumption is determined by the number of muscles.

In the process of losing weight, because of increasing the source of protein, while the body muscle mass increases, the body fat rate will decrease and the basal metabolism will also increase, that is, in the process of "increase or decrease", the weight may remain unchanged or even increase, but this does not mean that you have failed to lose weight, because at this time, your body fat rate has decreased, your muscle mass has increased and your waist circumference has become smaller, which is a sign of slimming down. So whether your weight has changed or not, as long as your body fat is getting less and less, your figure will get better and better.
