Suppose that when you don't lose weight, your weight will remain relatively balanced, which is also a reflection of your daily life, including your diet and exercise (or daily activities). If you are not satisfied with your figure and want to lose weight, you need to break this balance. From the perspective of energy balance, you need to make your daily energy intake and consumption, which does not count. With the weight loss, the basal metabolic rate will also decrease, which means that the consumption caused by basal metabolism is also decreasing, and when you resume your diet, basal metabolism will not recover immediately. So, in general, when you think you have achieved your goal and returned to your original diet and exercise habits, your overall energy intake will be higher than your overall consumption, and your weight will rebound, even fatter than before.
Therefore, losing weight is something that needs long-term persistence, so that you can keep it after losing weight, not something that can be lost. If this is the case, most friends will maintain an ideal weight state. In fact, among many people who lose weight, there are very few friends who can persist after losing weight. More people give up their efforts and don't persist after losing weight.
Second: Why is it so difficult to persist?
In the process of losing weight, usually, we will start with diet and exercise, or simply control diet, increase exercise, or combine the two, but for controlling diet and exercise, neither is an easy thing.
Diet control itself is difficult to adhere to.
The purpose of diet control is to reduce daily energy intake. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the diet structure, avoid the intake of high-calorie foods as much as possible, and control the total diet. This is simple to say, but difficult to do, because in this process, we have to endure not only physical hunger, but also psychological hunger.
When physical hunger and psychological deficiency are not satisfied, our appetite for food will increase, and as time goes by, this desire will become stronger and stronger until one day this desire overcomes your willpower. At this time, we are faced with not only the recovery of diet, but also the possibility of retaliatory diet, that is, overeating.
