Of course, if you don't belong to this kind of person, the thinner you get, the fatter you get. It depends on whether you have made the following three mistakes, which may be the root cause of your unsuccessful weight loss.
First, diet to lose weight
When it comes to how to lose weight, many people first think of dieting, and achieve the "weight loss goal" by limiting calorie intake. However, when your energy consumption is low for a long time, your body will enter the "power saving mode" by reducing basal metabolism, which will lead to a rebound once you resume your diet.
Not only that, what you see behind the rapid weight loss figure is not fat, but muscle and water. As for the many hazards to the body, I won't go into details here. In short, dieting and losing weight will make you slim down.
Second, only exercise, not diet control.
In addition to dieting to lose weight, if you only exercise and don't control your diet, it will also put you in an awkward position on the road to losing weight.
This kind of people often have a kind of "psychological compensation" after exercise. They think it's okay to reward themselves after exercise because they work so hard. Then take the opportunity to eat and drink, and the calorie intake is seriously exceeded.
Not only that, the calories consumed during exercise are often out of proportion to the calories consumed after exercise. I mean, maybe you can only consume a few hundred calories when you exercise for half an hour, but it is not enough to consume the extra hamburger drumstick set meal. This is the fundamental reason why you insist on exercising without losing weight. Still in a word, the so-called three-point practice and seven-point eating, only exercise combined with diet can successfully lose weight.
Third, only eat vegetables to lose weight.
When losing weight, many people will fall into such a cognitive misunderstanding that vegetables are healthy and low in calories, and they can lose weight by eating more vegetables. However, it is not a certain food that makes you fat, but the result of eating too many calories-in other words, even vegetables, if you eat a lot every day, will get fat.
In addition, some vegetables are actually staple foods, such as potatoes, yams and taro. Eating too much of these "vegetables" will not lose weight, but will gain weight. Remember, the essence of diet control is not to eat less, nor to eat only "healthy food". We should ensure a balanced diet under the premise of controlling calorie intake, and eat a little of everything, such as cereals, protein, fruits and vegetables, which is helpful for fat metabolism.
When losing weight, many people will encounter such confusion. They don't eat much every day, but they still keep exercising. Why do they gain weight instead? Getting fatter? If you are experiencing such a situation, don't rush to deny yourself, because losing weight is not necessarily a failure to lose weight. Losing weight is not equal to losing weight, the key is to look at the body fat rate.
You will find that two people with the same weight, such as you and most fitness instructors, why does his figure look good and his lines are full, but you look bloated? The reason is that muscle and fat with the same weight are much smaller than the latter.
Therefore, if you lose fat and gain muscle, you will lose or even gain weight, which should be something to be happy about. There is no problem with the current weight loss method, just stick to it.
