What are the misunderstandings about losing weight? Did you get caught?
Myth 1: lose weight? Eat less and choose the best. I am on a diet and eat very little. After such hard work, of course I should eat the best food!

Eating the "best" is not a wise move to lose weight. The basic principle of losing weight is that the calorie intake is higher than the calorie intake, and low-calorie food is the first choice in diet. Those delicious foods are often fragrant, oily, sweet and fine in workmanship. Are high in calories.

Suggestion: We know that carbohydrates are much larger than fats and protein, but their calorie density is much lower. 100g vegetables and fruits contain10g calories, while 100g steak contains 250 calories. Through this comparison, you will know that vegetables, fruits and grains are all foods with large volume and low calorie density. These foods should be the mainstay during weight loss.

Myth 2: Eat less and eat more meals to lose weight. I heard that eating less and eating more can reduce weight, so that my stomach will not swell, so I changed three meals a day to five meals a day.

Eating less and eating more meals can effectively control our food intake per meal, so that the body's metabolism is relatively stable, but the premise is that the total amount of calories consumed every day should be fixed! That is to say, divide three meals into five meals, not five! If so, you will eat more than three meals a day.

Suggestion: At the same time of losing weight, reasonable diet control will make the effect better. Of course, you shouldn't eat too much in disguise, let alone advocate dieting.

Myth 3: Staying up late can lose weight. I often work late into the night, sometimes doing nothing until 2-3 o'clock, thinking that I will definitely lose weight if I work so hard.

The idea that you can lose weight when you are tired is untenable. Biomedically speaking, after a day's activities, the human body naturally enters a state of rest at night, but insulin that synthesizes fat secretes more at night. This means that eating the same amount of food is more likely to turn into fat deposits at night. So, work hard during the day and have a good rest at night. In addition, try not to eat 2 hours before going to bed at night, which will reduce the production of excess fat.

Suggestion: Go to bed early and get up early, keep a cheerful mood, eat three meals a day and don't eat supper, which will make you have a healthy and slim figure.

Myth 4: Fine food can beautify and slim down. Many people think that eating more carefully will help digestion, such as peeling apples.

We all know now that if food is cooked too carefully, some substances beneficial to health will be lost. At the same time, eating too fine flour and rice, eggs, milk and other foods can easily lead to constipation, which has a negative impact on metabolism and weight loss. Clinically, for such patients, traditional Chinese medicine is usually given to regulate the digestive system and solve the constipation problem. Therefore, eating more foods rich in fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial to digestion and weight loss.

Myth 5: Since you want to lose weight, of course you should eat something delicious. In the process of losing weight, many people know to control their diet, but they don't want to treat themselves badly, so they want to eat what they like as much as possible.

Suggestion: The fresher and more natural food is more beneficial to lose weight, which is recognized by nutritionists all over the world. Because in food processing, too many flavoring agents, oils and starch are often added, which will increase the burden of metabolism and inject more fat into the body. So in the same kind of food, we should choose the most primitive and freshest way to eat, so eating apples is the best choice than drinking juice!

Myth 6: As long as you exercise, you will definitely lose weight. We all know that it is definitely right to exercise to lose weight, so we do something like a 100-meter sprint every day!

Suggestion: Exercise in weight loss refers to aerobic exercise, which can consume more calories. Aerobic exercise must meet three conditions: the energy needed for exercise is mainly provided by the oxidation of fat or sugar in the body; Most muscles in the whole body participate in sports; The intensity of exercise is between middle and low, and the duration is 15 ~ 40 minutes or longer. For example, brisk walking, jogging, aerobics, swimming, cycling and all kinds of ball games. Now I know I will start to correct them.

Myth 7: Liposuction is an immediate way to lose weight. Many people think that liposuction, especially abdominal liposuction, has a very good effect, and there is nothing simpler and more enjoyable than taking fat away with a scalpel.

Suggestion: Be sure to distinguish the concepts of "losing weight" and "liposuction". Liposuction is to improve the body, to ensure the safety of surgery from the perspective of the body's tolerance, and is not suitable for large-scale weight loss. For obese people, we should rely on reasonable eating habits and moderate exercise to achieve the goal of healthy weight loss under the treatment of doctors.

Myth 8: Eating diet pills can help you lose weight. Many people think that taking diet pills is an emergency way to lose weight, which can make the body lose weight quickly, so take diet pills when you need to lose weight.

Suggestion: The function of diet pills is to suppress appetite, increase energy consumption and inhibit intestinal digestion and absorption. Diet drugs that suppress appetite can reduce appetite, reduce food intake and lose weight, but there will be adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Diet drugs that increase energy consumption are some central stimulants and hormone drugs, which have adverse side effects on nerves and heart. Diet drugs that inhibit intestinal digestion and absorption can inhibit the absorption of ingested fat, but it will cause side effects such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. What all diet pills have in common is that they bounce back after stopping. At present, diet pills containing sibutramine, such as tramadol, have been stopped in China, the European Union and the United States, showing the side effects of diet pills.
