He asked me: "I now go to the gym every night to exercise, hoping to build muscles through exercise, but after half a year, the effect is not good, and I always feel weak."
I asked him, "How do you eat?" He said, "Eat an egg every morning; Eat 50 grams of staple food, 75 grams of lean meat and some vegetables at noon; Eat less at night and basically don't eat staple food. People say that eating eggs grows muscles. Why can't I grow them? I lost 3 kilograms recently, but I just can't practice muscles. "
Obviously, insufficient carbohydrate intake led to protein and fat decomposition in his body. He usually doesn't eat much carbohydrates, so he runs out of glucose stored in his liver when he exercises at night. He should eat some carbohydrates the next morning. As a result, he only eats eggs in the morning, so the energy in the morning can only come from eggs. There is not enough energy, so the protein in the egg does not become a component of muscle cells, but becomes energy and is burned.
Therefore, we should not underestimate the intake of carbohydrates because carbohydrates can't be converted into protein, reduce staple foods at will, and master the proportion of the three nutrients.
Generally speaking, the order in which food is absorbed and released by the human body is basically that carbohydrates are used first, and fat and protein are behind, and only when the glucose converted by carbohydrates is not enough can they be contributed.
Food intake is not balanced. Too much carbohydrate intake, the human body can not consume, will lead to obesity, diabetes and other diseases. However, the lack of nutrients that provide structure for cells and form regulatory substances will lead to Alzheimer's disease, dementia and so on.
The consumption can not be consumed, forming a burden; The structure is not enough to form a structure; And the nutrients that form hormones and other regulatory substances are also insufficient, which eventually leads to the lack of human function. This is what we often say, "Illness comes from the mouth".
I remember working in Shanghai and being single. Breakfast is 60 cents steamed bread all year round. Being thin is fatigue, and the result is malnutrition.
