In addition to weight, a good figure also depends on factors such as height, body fat and muscle mass. Just looking at the weight has no reference value. Because they are all 45 kilograms, is it possible that the number 150 cm is the same as that of 170 cm? Before you start to understand how to lose weight, here are five figures:
1, BW: weight
2, BF: body fat
3.BF%: body fat rate
4. Body mass index: Body mass index (weight in kilograms divided by height in square meters)
5.LBM: Fat-free weight (body fat minus body fat, LBM = BW-BF).
In the process of losing weight, only one of the above five data is of no reference value, and we must take them all into account. Take the body fat rate as an example. At present, all household body fat meters only show the body fat rate. What if you only look at the body fat rate and don't look at other data?
The same is 20%, 10 kg body weight is fat; There is 12 kg of fat in 60 kg of body weight. Therefore, if we only compare the body fat rate, it may appear that the low-matched ones look fatter than the high-matched ones. Tips: Excessive body fat is the main cause of obesity, so the so-called weight loss is to lose body fat, not just to lose weight.
Second: How to effectively shape while reducing fat?
First of all, there is no exercise and no methods (massage, slimming cream, etc. ) can make the fat in specific parts disappear. Because fat will accumulate in all parts of the body, how to accumulate or the proportion of accumulation depends on your genes. Similarly, the order of fat consumption during aerobic exercise is also determined by genes.
If you want to lose weight, you must lose weight together, but everyone's thin parts are in different order. Also, because of hormones, subcutaneous fat is more likely to accumulate in the buttocks, legs and waist, so these places are often the most troublesome places for many female friends.
Therefore, we should change our thinking, rename it "local sculpture" and slim down locally. In other words, line decoration for different parts is far more interesting and feasible than slimming. The method is very simple, that is, reducing fat and increasing muscle. As mentioned earlier, the order of losing fat is beyond your control. As long as you keep aerobic exercise and then increase the muscles in those specific parts, you can achieve the effect of sculpture.
For example, if you want to make butterfly sleeve disappear, you should do triceps training in addition to continuous aerobic jogging, so as to reduce fat and increase triceps muscles, lines will naturally appear, and because muscles increase, the density will become higher, which will naturally achieve the effect of shaping.
Third: By the way, if you don't exercise for a long time, will your muscles get fat?
Fat and muscle are completely different tissues, one is composed of protein and the other is composed of triglycerides, and the two tissues will not replace each other. Just like egg yolk and egg white, will egg yolk become protein? Of course not.
Many people have this idea because they are cheated by muscles. Because muscles are not used for a long time, they will slowly shrink and lack exercise, and fat can easily run into the gaps between muscles, so the whole looks like a loose meat. In addition, when there is no exercise, the calorie intake cannot be completely consumed, and naturally it is easy to accumulate more fat. In the case of increase or decrease, the proportion of fat is greater than that of muscle, which will produce the illusion that muscle becomes fat.
