1. Change your exercise from "sugar burning mode" to "fat burning mode"

If you see Teacher Fan recently and find that he has lost weight, he will be happy to tell you: "I ran out by running!" " "

You may not believe it. In the past, Mr. Fan was out of breath after running 500 meters, with symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and nausea. But it took teacher Fan three months to reach the level of running 6 kilometers easily.

Who accompanied him through this "counterattack time"? That is the guest I visited, the fitness expert and the author of Control, Mr. Zhang Zhanhui.

Like many people, Mr. Fan once rejected running. He thinks running is hard, but it is difficult to lose weight. Teacher Zhang Zhanhui explained to Teacher Fan the real reason of "running hard and not losing weight" with only one concept, that is, the sugar-lipid transition point.

Most people have a wrong cognition, that is, when we just started exercising and felt relaxed, we ate sugar. When the body becomes more and more tired and uncomfortable, we start to consume fat, so it is a very painful thing to lose weight by exercise. But the opposite is true!

First of all, whether everyone consumes sugar or fat when consuming energy depends on the intensity of exercise. When doing low-intensity exercise, the human body mainly consumes fat, because low-intensity aerobic exercise will increase lipolytic enzymes in muscles. When doing high-intensity exercise, the glycolytic enzymes in muscles will increase, and the human body will consume sugar. The fat burning rate of high-intensity exercise is not high, so when running or doing other fitness exercises, you should control your heart rate and try to move sugar and fat backwards. If you have run 30 kilometers, your body is still in "fat burning mode" instead of "sugar burning mode", which will not only help you lose weight, but also make our exercise easier and more likely to produce satisfaction and joy.

In his early years of teaching, Mr. Zhang also fell into the pit of "strength can make you thin": the chairman of an enterprise has developed a physical fitness level close to that of athletes, but his weight just doesn't drop. Teacher Zhang found the crux of the problem. The chairman often feels that training is too hard and he is hungry. If eating big fish and meat is tantamount to practicing in vain, he changes his food into a big bowl of noodles, which leads to too much carbohydrate, that is, sugar, and he can't lose weight.

An American survey shows that if people exercise excessively, they will eat 30% more staple food than before. Moreover, this change happened unconsciously-you will naturally add more meals to yourself after high-intensity exercise. The greater the intensity, the more you eat. This is why many people work hard but can't lose weight.
