Q: Can you get a double effect by practicing twice?

I do 50 sit-ups every day. If I increase it to 100, can I double my weight loss?

Repeating an action 100 times cannot achieve twice the effect of doing it 50 times. The key to fitness is qualitative change rather than simple accumulation of quantity. Take abdominal exercises as an example. Many people will do dozens of sit-ups in a row until they can't get up. In fact, the key to abdominal exercises is that the movements should be in place and appropriate pauses are needed. It is best to use 15 as 1 group, and do 2~3 groups at a time. If you want to double the effect, you can make more changes during exercise, such as lifting your legs when doing sit-ups, and the effect will be different.

Q: What should I do if I lose weight and enter a stagnation period?

After 3 months, I lost about 5 kilograms, but my weight seems to have stagnated recently, and there is no continuous downward trend. What should I do? Would you like to eat less? When the first few kilograms lose weight quickly, the weight loss will gradually slow down or stagnate, or even rebound. ?

This is because our body has adapted to our reduced calorie intake and automatically adjusted to a new lower calorie metabolism rate. So you can't lose weight by eating less at this time. The best way to get through the stagnation period is to increase the intensity of exercise. You can extend the exercise time or increase the difficulty a little, and you will break through the stagnation period.

Q: Can you speed up your metabolism through food or drugs?

I want to lose weight faster. Can you use diet pills to speed up metabolism? Don't try! These products usually contain thyroxine or something similar to thyroxine extracted from animals. The so-called "accelerating metabolism" may lead to nervousness, diarrhea, exophthalmos, rapid heartbeat and night sweats ... I believe you don't want to lose weight with these terrible side effects.

Exercise is a safe way to promote metabolism and accelerate fat burning.
