How many pounds do you lose in a month?
Many people find that people with the same height and weight have different visual effects, which is what we often call "thin" or "fat". In fact, these are ghosts with the same body fat rate. People with the same height and weight and high body fat rate look fatter, while people with high body fat rate look thinner.

The weight of the human body is mainly composed of bones, muscles, fat and water. Among them, the proportion of water is the largest, accounting for about 60%. What makes you look fat is fat. In the process of losing weight, water is easily discharged, while fat remains intact in the "site". As soon as water is reduced, the proportion of body fat will increase obviously; In addition, the metabolic function of adipose tissue itself will be poor. After a long time, fat will "sit up" and weight gain will be just around the corner.

The success of losing weight can be judged not only by weight loss, but also by the degree of decline of fat mass and fat rate. If you go on a diet or vegetarian diet blindly, the intake ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat does not meet the requirements. Even if you lose weight, you will only lose the weight of muscles, internal organs, bones and other tissues and organs, which is not in line with the scientific concept of healthy weight loss.

Take diet pills: Taking diet pills may make you lose weight quickly, but it will also make you feel dizzy, arrhythmia, low blood pressure, palpitation and chest tightness. This is because some diet pills contain a lot of diuretics and food laxatives. No matter how fast you lose weight, all you lose is some water, which will be replenished when you drink water.

Extreme dieting: eating only a small amount of cucumbers and apples every day falls into this category. Mainly by subtracting water and muscle, when the calorie intake is far below the daily needs, the body will start to consume muscle and fat, but after returning to normal eating, the body's protection mechanism will step up fat storage, and various health sequelae will occur at the same time.

Sweating to lose weight: Many people use saunas, steam baths or running in corsets to lose weight. This method can really lose weight, but it only takes about 20 minutes. Because you will feel thirsty, that is to say, your body is seriously short of water at that time. So, when you finish drinking water, your weight will return to the previous level.
