Regarding your question, I want to say that jogging is actually a good way to lose weight. Running 5 kilometers in 50 minutes is really slow. I usually run 5 kilometers in 25 minutes, but don't think that if you run slowly, you won't lose weight. In fact, the effect of running to lose weight mainly depends on the length of exercise time. Generally, the longer you exercise, the more energy you consume.
And with your slow speed, you can not only lose weight, but also have less physical burden, which can effectively avoid running injuries.
Since you have chosen running to lose weight, I will give you some suggestions to make you lose weight faster and more effectively!
Maybe many people find that their weight has not changed much after running for a while. Why?
In fact, many people have this mentality. After a long period of exercise, they think that they have consumed a lot of energy, so they eat and drink after running. In fact, eating energy is much more than running energy. This will not only not lose weight, but also gain weight, so be sure to pay attention to the diet after running. Only a proper diet can help us lose weight.
So what should I eat after running to help lose weight?
Generally, high carbohydrate and a certain amount of protein should be supplemented after running. The best food combination is a few slices of whole wheat bread, a cup of oat milk and an egg, which can not only ensure the intake of food calories is not too much, but also ensure the intake of protein and promote the repair of body cells. At the same time, we should eat some fresh fruits and vegetables after running, because those fresh fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in our muscle repair.
What problems should we pay attention to when running to lose weight?
In fact, people who run to lose weight have a bad habit, that is, they don't eat before running. In fact, this is extremely wrong. Eat before running! A certain amount of food will not only affect our running to lose weight, but also make our running to lose weight more obvious, because a certain amount of energy intake before running can not only make us run better, but also improve our running time and help us lose weight.
If your conditions are suitable, then you can put your running time in the evening or dusk. In fact, our body functions are extremely smooth at this time. At this time, running consumes the most energy, and running after meals is very good, which can consume the energy of dinner and prevent these energies from accumulating excessively, thus causing weight loss failure. However, we should pay attention to one problem here. It is best not to do strenuous work within one hour after dinner.
