Once people want to lose weight, the first thing they think of is to eat less, thinking that if the calories are reduced, they will lose weight. Some people just eat one meal or less a day until the calories are too low, and eat vegetables or a piece of bread with water. However, the latest research on dieting and weight loss shows that the total calorie of eating one meal a day is 500 calories, which is exactly the same as that of eating three meals a day, and the total calorie is 1000 calories. Eating less doesn't make people lose weight faster.
In the first week or two of dieting, the weight will drop rapidly, but then the body's regulatory system will respond to the energy shortage caused by dieting, that is, reduce the metabolic rate of cells to reduce energy consumption.
The harder or longer you go on a diet, the slower your cellular metabolic rate will become and the less energy you will consume. In the end, even if you only eat a little every day, you won't lose weight.
Because the metabolic rate is too slow at this time, the body fat cannot be burned quickly and effectively. In order to eliminate fat and achieve the goal of losing weight, we must rely on fast and effective metabolic rate to burn excess fat in the body. Scholars advocate that the daily calorie of food should not be less than 1000 calories during dieting and weight loss.
note:
1. Avoid "growing new fat" and maintain a fast and effective metabolic rate to burn old fat.
2. If you can do aerobic exercise or other continuous exercise more than three times a week during dieting, you can always maintain a faster metabolic rate and your weight will definitely continue to drop.
