Why does running lose weight look thinner but not lighter?
If there is a phenomenon that your body looks thin in the process of losing weight, but your weight has not changed, it can only be said that you have consumed fat and increased muscle mass in the process of losing weight, which is why you look thin after losing weight, but your weight has not changed. After all, in our body, the volume of fat is much larger than that of muscle, and the volume of 1 kg fat is three times that of 1 kg muscle.

0 1, slimming is an energy-consuming process. The so-called weight loss, in fact, the simple explanation is that we consume more energy every day than we consume, so these extra energy must be provided by sugar and fat inside our body. Normal adult male, his body metabolism is about 1700 calories. The food we eat every day should provide energy for our basic metabolism, work and study. Therefore, when we consume more energy every day than we consume every day, the fat in our body will be slowly consumed.

02. In the process of losing weight, not only fat is consumed, but also muscle growth. A person's basal metabolism depends largely on his muscle mass. Those muscular men eat a lot of food every day, but their body fat doesn't increase with it. This is because they have a large basal metabolism and a large amount of exercise. For us normal people, in the process of losing weight, in addition to fat consumption, there is muscle growth.

So many people will never lose weight in the process of losing weight, but their body shape has changed obviously. This is because in the process of losing weight, in addition to the fat consumed by aerobic exercise such as running, our muscles will also grow when we exercise and eat high-protein food.
