The United States once produced a diet pill that could "improve metabolism and burn more fat". It extracts thyroxine or similar substances from animals. It is characterized by accelerating human metabolism until disorder occurs. After taking the medicine, you will lose weight quickly in a short time, and at the same time, you will have symptoms similar to hyperthyroidism such as diarrhea, shaking hands, fear of heat, rapid heartbeat, night sweats and exophthalmos. In fact, the safest and most effective way to lose weight is physical exercise.
Myth 2: success in losing weight means losing weight.
Most dieters measure the success of losing weight by losing weight, but the real focus is the accumulation of fat. Some diet pills contain "diuretics", which can transfer 70% of water in the body and lose weight in a short time. Some diet pills with diarrhea contain rhubarb and senna leaves, which is also based on this principle. These are just two quick-acting drugs. Once they stop, their weight will rebound.
Myth 3: Safe should be natural.
Whether it is medicine or health care products, once you have the trump card of "pure nature", you will be invincible, but nature and safety are not necessarily the same. No matter what raw materials are used and how they are processed, once drugs affect absorption and digestion and interfere with metabolism, they will have the same effect as chemicals. In the past, many weight-loss health foods used Chinese herbal medicine ephedra as an additive, but in fact ephedrine and pseudoephedrine contained in ephedra really worked. They suppress appetite by stimulating the nervous system and thyroxine, and the side effects will be more serious: increased blood pressure, mental stress, palpitations, hand and foot paralysis and so on.
Myth 4: In order to lose weight quickly, change products frequently.
According to the survey, in order to lose weight quickly, more than 50% dieters will change diet pills frequently. Some people use a product for a few days and then find it ineffective in less than two months. There are often obese people who want to lose more than 1 0 kg within1month. In fact, weight loss should be carried out at the same time as reasonable diet and exercise, and we should not be greedy.
Myth 5: Look at advertisements and choose products.
Many obese patients like to watch advertisements to buy products, whether it is health food or medicine, or whether it is suitable for them. Choose which advertisement is good. Experts point out that there are many slimming products on the market, including food and medicine. It is very dangerous to use them blindly without knowing them.
Myth 6: Lose weight blindly without consulting a doctor.
According to the survey, more than 90% people don't consult a doctor when they lose weight for the first time, and they buy their own diet food or medicine. Experts pointed out that because obesity is a chronic disease, people who really need to lose weight should go to the hospital to see a doctor. The current situation is that some people who should lose weight don't lose weight, and some people who shouldn't lose weight blindly. Therefore, it is best to consult a doctor before losing weight to see if it is necessary to lose weight and what kind of weight loss methods should be adopted.
