Can you lose weight easily by shaking it?
"Try not to move and let the machine help you lose weight" is a topic that urbanites relish. There are many devices for passive exercise to lose weight on the market. Compared with seemingly scientific experiments in TV advertisements, exaggerated publicity makes consumers fall into the sweet trap of "losing weight easily" again and again.
But experts point out that it is almost impossible to lose weight through passive exercise, and the so-called "local slimming" is also difficult to achieve. Effective active exercise and perseverance are the right way to lose weight through exercise.
Passive sports are still very popular.
Vibrating belt, fat separator and vibrating elastic rod are passive methods to lose weight. Although they are not as popular as when they first appeared, they are still tried and tested ways to lose weight for urban lazy people. This kind of passive weight loss instrument has been seen in large shopping malls, and many people are curious to try it. For example, on the display platform of a fat skimmer in a shopping mall, two testers stand on the machine, and high-frequency vibration drives the fat in thighs and buttocks to vibrate rapidly. According to the promotion of the merchants, you can easily lose weight by "doing exercises" while watching TV, without effort or exercise.
On the internet, passive exercise weight loss devices are also very popular. For example, the most popular vibrating belt, the sales record of the most popular merchants exceeds 3000 units per month. Although many passive weight loss devices have been proved to be unable to lose weight, there are still many consumers scrambling to buy them.
The correct way to lose weight
A. Fat can be converted into energy through aerobic oxidation.
When the vibrator vibrates, the fat is also "exercising". Isn't that energy consumption? I'm sweating in the trembling part. I measured it with a tape measure, and the waist really thinned. Is this still fake? The seemingly scientific truth is an important reason why many consumers are superstitious about the lazy diet of passive exercise. But in fact, these are just a cover-up to confuse you.
In principle, the only correct way to consume fat is to convert it into energy through aerobic oxidation in the body. This is an internal metabolic process. Normal exercise such as running and swimming can promote aerobic transformation. Aerobic oxidation cannot be achieved by applying external forces such as vibration in vitro. In addition, fat itself has no contraction function and does not produce energy itself. It is either "crushed" or "less shaken" and consumes fat molecules.
Aerobic oxidation: refers to the decomposition of sugar, fat and protein into carbon dioxide and water with the participation of oxygen, and releases a lot of energy.
B, active exercise can consume fat.
The difference between passive sports and active sports lies in whether the athletes contribute. Active exercise requires one's own efforts, and athletes can feel obvious muscle contraction; Passive athletes generally don't make their own efforts, or only make a little effort, and rely on machinery to drive sports (not to say that there is no active sports with mechanical assistance, many sports equipment are active sports, and the key is whether to make efforts). When active exercise consumes fat, people can feel that they are working hard, for example, when running, they will feel the contraction of leg muscles; You will also feel energy consumption, such as getting hot and sweating. This kind of fever is systemic, not local. Judging from some physical indicators, people's pulse will accelerate, breathing will become faster, blood pressure will rise, and so on. In this state, fat can be consumed healthily.
Uncover the illusion of passive motion
Sweating after shock = burning calories?
Exogenous "fever" is different from body movement "fever"
Sweating is the performance of energy and fat consumption, and the same situation exists when using vibration belt. Why deny passive weight loss?
A lot of vibration to lose weight is actually just a heat transfer process. For example, vibration has a heating function to raise the local temperature; The vibration of the belt produces heat energy, which is then transferred to the stomach, causing local fever and sweating at the waist. Just like a sauna, people sweat through external heat, at most, they lose water and do not consume fat, so it is impossible to lose weight.
Losing weight after shock = burning fat?
Fat accumulation is orderly, which is difficult to achieve in partial weight loss.
After using the vibration weight loss instrument, I measured it again and found that some parts really became thinner. The data is not nonsense, is it? The reason why waist circumference and leg circumference become "thin" is the loss of water, not the disappearance of fat. As long as you add the right amount of water, it will naturally rebound.
What needs to be reminded is that many passive sports equipment take "partial weight loss" as their selling point, but in fact it is quite difficult for partial weight loss to do it. The accumulation of fat in the body has a certain order, generally from the middle to the ends. Losing weight is the reverse process of fat accumulation, so the fat at the waist and buttocks is the most difficult to lose, and it is not to lose weight wherever you want.
Learn to lose weight step by step
Hunger is another effective way to lose weight. However, although simple hunger can slim down, it will bring many negative effects, such as spleen and stomach damage and lack of energy. It is also prone to the "yo-yo effect", and the weight will rebound quickly after normal diet. "Scientific exercise+diet control" is the best choice for healthy weight loss.
There is a misunderstanding here. Many people think that swimming and running can only consume fat after 30-40 minutes. In fact, this is the standard of athletes. It is advisable for individuals not to feel tired the next day after exercise. Ordinary people just start swimming and running for 20 minutes, or 10 minutes. In the process of insisting on exercise, increase the amount of exercise step by step and scientifically formulate the exercise time suitable for individuals.
Observe the net weight after 1-2 weeks of exercise and judge your energy metabolism: when you are healthy, your weight becomes heavier, which proves that you eat too much or exercise too little, which needs further strict control; Weight unchanged, eat too much or prove that the amount of exercise is not enough, you can appropriately increase the amount of exercise; If you lose weight, you can stick to the original plan or increase the amount of exercise appropriately.
Low-intensity exercise reduces fat, and high-intensity exercise exercises muscles.
People who aim at losing weight can take low-intensity exercise, such as swimming and running, and consume a lot of fat. High-intensity exercise is suitable for building muscles. For example, sit-ups are not suitable for people who lose weight, and their energy consumption is not great. They mainly exercise waist and abdomen muscles, which is more suitable for muscle training. Yoga and Pilates, which are popular now, are more suitable for exercising flexibility, although they also have a certain weight loss effect.
