Compared with strenuous exercise to lose weight, many people still insist on dieting and even immerse themselves in it. Indeed, after dieting for a period of time, you will be surprised to find that you have lost some weight, but most people can't go on a diet for a long time. Apart from the impact on health, at least few people can stand the feeling of being hungry for a long time. As a result, after many people resumed dieting, even after eating only one meal, they found that their weight returned to the level before dieting. Why?
The largest proportion of substances in the human body is water, and the content of water is influenced by salt and sugar in the body. What does dieting mean? Restricting the intake of food is equivalent to limiting the intake of salt and sugar, so when you go on a diet, the reserves of salt and glycogen in your body decrease, the excess water will be excreted, and your weight will become lighter.
Glycogen is the main substance of human energy supply. If the glycogen storage in the body is insufficient, the energy supply will be insufficient, so dieters will always look listless. In addition, dieting will slow down the brain's reaction speed, and lack of water will also affect the whole body's operation ... These bad conditions will add up and make the whole person look depressed.
When you restore your diet, salt and glycogen reserves will be replenished. At this time, the water will naturally stay in the body, the lost water will be made up, and the weight will increase, making you feel that the weight lost by dieting will come back in one meal. Therefore, the weight you lose on a diet is not all fat or muscle, but a large part is actually the weight of water.
