Science tells you that there is no quick local weight loss method! But you can achieve similar results through hard exercise.
1, human fat
Usually, the human body has 65.438 billion to 3 billion fat cells, but obese people may have as many as 65.438 billion fat cells! The number of fat cells will only increase in childhood and adolescence, and the number of fat cells will remain basically unchanged in adulthood. Obesity is that the body's mechanical system converts excess nutrients into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells. Nutrition comes from the intake of sugar, fat and protein. More than the human body needs, it will be converted into fat. So it is completely wrong to say that eating rice will make you fat and eating meat will not make you fat. The protein that the human body needs every day is basically unchanged, and the excess will become fat.
The function of fat cells is actually in line with the needs of human evolution, because ancient humans often ate the last meal without the next meal, and stored fat to prevent premature starvation during famine. Therefore, according to the viewpoint of biological evolution, there are still many underdeveloped countries, and "fat people" are easier to find objects. In ancient China, barbarians and barbarians in northern China also regarded obesity as beauty.
2. Fat distribution
Fat cells are not evenly distributed in all parts of the body, and the fate of fat is determined by hormones in the body. In the same way, deciding where to consume fat first is also determined by hormones, or more precisely by genes, so everyone's figure will be different.
Because of estrogen, women like to hoard fat, mainly in the buttocks, chest, abdomen and thighs; In addition, the size of women's breasts is related to whether they are developed or not, which also involves genes. Because of androgen, the body fat content of men is generally lower than that of women, and the fat is mainly accumulated in the abdomen.
For women, it is normal to have a body fat content of around 20%; For men, 10% is normal. Exceeding this ratio will be harmful to health.
3. Will the fat be reduced locally?
Don't!
As mentioned above, many people, especially female friends, want to lose waist and abdomen, but they are afraid of getting smaller breasts. I hope I can, partial weight loss. The answer is no.
Why?
The usual way to lose weight is mainly through exercise. Exercise improves metabolism and blood flow faster. First, the sugar in the blood is consumed, and then the fat is burned. This process is decomposed by the aerobic oxidation of fat. Once the human body gives instructions, it needs to be powered by fat, and all organizations with oxygen in the body will participate. Where fat is burned and how it is distributed is determined by the human system, not a certain part. Therefore, under normal circumstances, either fat will not be used passively, or it can only be used synchronously throughout the body.
Schwarzenegger is very concerned about fitness and weight loss. In his book, he made it clear that there is no single part to lose weight, and which part of the body burns fat is determined by innate DNA. In other words, even if you do sit-ups, your body may consume the fat in your legs or buttocks, not the fat in your abdomen.
Fred, a professor at the Center for Obesity and Nutrition Research at Boston University School of Medicine, said: "Losing weight means reducing body fat in proportion." Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University, also said: "People always fantasize about partial weight loss, but this is actually impossible. Fat can only be reduced in proportion to the whole body, and the body is thinner on the basis of the original body. What determines your figure is the level of genes or hormones. Weight can be reduced and body shape cannot be changed. "
So, you see, a common misunderstanding in the fitness industry: sit-ups reduce abdominal fat. I won't! Its effect is the same as simple actions such as running and stretching your legs.
4. I still want to get in shape. I just want to reduce my waist and abdomen, not my chest, right?
Yes, but the effect is equivalent.
It is not only fat that determines our body shape, but also muscle. Which part needs to be highlighted can be shown by exercising muscles. For example, women who need a thin waist and don't seem to lose weight can practice their chest muscles through equipment to make them bigger. Even if the whole body is reduced in equal proportion, the chest will become more prominent and stylish because the pectoral muscles become bigger. For hips, the effect is the same.
Now someone will definitely ask, why can muscles become larger locally? This is because the principle is different, and human movement is realized by stretching and contracting muscles. For a certain part of the movement, will lead to a certain part of the muscle damage congestion, through the absorption of protein can make the muscle bigger.
Therefore, in order to achieve a similar "partial weight loss" effect, we can make up for the reduced fat by exercising and increasing muscles. Common weight loss effects and methods are attached:
1. Face-lifting: chewing gum. No, too little chewing gum can't consume whole body fat, let alone facial fat, just exercise facial muscle strips. Ladies use it with caution.
2. stovepipe, not thin buttocks: aerobic exercise, lean body fat, and then anaerobic exercise on buttocks, exercise hip muscle compensation.
3. Thin waist, not thin chest: aerobic exercise, lean body fat, then anaerobic exercise in the chest, exercise chest muscle compensation.
4. Thin waist and not thin legs: jogging and running! Jogging leans body fat, running anaerobic exercises thick legs.
5, don't want to exercise, liposuction can partial weight loss?
No way!
Any slimming needs systematic exercise, strict diet control and long-term persistence. There is no good prescription for lazy people to lose weight.
Even liposuction and passive exercise. Liposuction can remove the fat attached to subcutaneous tissue, but it cannot change the working mode of human lipid metabolism machine. As long as the human machine works as before and the DNA remains unchanged, it won't be long before the remaining fat cells will "eat" fatter. Vibration, massage and electrical stimulation are just a kind of psychological comfort. The human body consumes almost no calories, and the fat in the body will not be used passively because of need.
Again: take your legs and shut up!
