1, a medicated diet that can reduce weight
Weight loss should be based on the principles of invigorating spleen and promoting diuresis, resolving food stagnation, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, resolving phlegm and guiding stagnation. Using medicated diet to lose weight is to choose food and medicine properly and make delicious meals according to the above principles. The commonly used foods and drugs to lose weight mainly include coix seed, poria cocos, wax gourd, lotus leaf, lettuce, tofu, radish, bitter gourd, cucumber, medlar, hawthorn, kelp and so on.
Medicated diet can reduce weight, without dieting or changing eating habits, without pain and side effects. But the effect is slow, and it needs persistence to get good results.

2. The reason why it is difficult to lose weight
The exercise method is wrong
Just doing aerobic exercise such as running or cycling is not very helpful for abdominal weight loss. "Strength training needs to be combined with aerobic training," said Sanjita Kaya Bo, an endocrinologist at Cleveland Clinic. This will increase muscle and burn more calories than fat. It is recommended that you do 250 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 125 minutes of high-intensity exercise every week.
Eat too much processed food.
Processed foods such as bread, biscuits and drinks will aggravate human inflammation, and eating too much will weaken the body's ability to lose abdominal fat. Natural foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory effects, which can inhibit the growth of abdominal fat.
Eat the wrong fat
Studies have shown that a large intake of unsaturated fat (existing in meat and snacks) is related to the increase of visceral fat; Unsaturated fat (found in olive oil, nuts, salmon and other fish) can play an anti-inflammatory role, and moderate consumption is good for the body. But eating too much fat will lead to weight gain, so control the amount.
Lack of sleep
A study of nearly 70,000 women in 16 years found that people who slept for 5 hours or less at night were more likely to gain weight 13.6 kg or more than those who slept for 7 hours. The National Institutes of Health recommends that adults sleep 7-8 hours a day.
Insufficient exercise intensity
A study shows that people who do high-intensity exercise lose more abdominal fat than those who do low-intensity exercise. Natalie Gill, a certified personal trainer in California, said: "In order to lose stubborn abdominal fat, you need to exercise fully and burn more calories, and high-intensity exercise can just achieve this goal."
The exercise plan is wrong.
If you want to lose weight by sit-ups, stop it. Jill suggested doing some exercises on core muscles (abdomen, back, pelvis and oblique abdominal muscles) to improve the fat burning rate. It is suggested to practice flat support, which can not only exercise the core muscles, but also exercise the muscles of arms, legs and buttocks.
overpressure
Time is short, financial problems, worrying about children, no matter what the source of stress is, will make it difficult for you to lose excess fat, especially abdominal fat. This is not only because it is easier to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods when stressed, but also because the stress hormone cortisol will increase the fat content needed by the body and make fat cells swell.
