In the process of losing weight, the human body consumes glycogen first, then fat, and finally muscle. In fact, the three are carried out simultaneously. The difference is whether glycogen will be consumed. Muscle is the main support of human body. If you lose muscle, your metabolism will decline, which means that you will consume less calories, and even if you drink water, you will get fat.
Losing weight is not to lose weight, but to lose fat. But in the process of paper-cutting, muscles will be consumed and the basal metabolic rate of human body will be reduced. At this time, people will enter a platform period, that is, no matter how much you eat and how much you exercise, you can't lose weight.
That's because you consume too much muscle in the process of losing fat, which leads to the decrease of your basal metabolic rate and too little calorie consumption. As long as you eat a little, you can make up the calories consumed by exercise. At this time, you should pay attention to increasing the basal metabolic rate of the body.
Extended data:
Dieting to lose weight is a way to control people's diet to lose weight. Because it is healthier than diet pills, it is accepted by people.
A small-scale study by the University of Chicago in the United States shows that dieters don't get enough sleep. This study was recently published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The subjects of this study are 10 overweight men and women who have stayed in the sleep lab twice for two weeks at a time. The subjects ate the same diet in the two experiments, but in the first experiment, they slept for eight and a half hours every night, while in the other experiment, they only slept for five and a half hours every night. The researchers found that in both experiments, those who ate more protein, water, vitamins and plants lost nearly 7 pounds on average.
However, in the stage of less sleep, the subjects lose mainly muscle rather than fat; In the experimental stage of sleeping for eight and a half hours every night, more than half of the weight lost by the subjects was fat. Therefore, experts advise dieters to ensure adequate sleep every night.
