Do you have to go on a diet to lose weight?
Let me say my opinion first: no.

In fact, scientific and healthy weight loss requires moderate dieting.

This view sounds strange at first glance. You may wonder why, as a professional, you still advocate dieting to lose weight. Yes, but when I say "dieting", it's not the same thing as you understand.

Dieting, that is, dieting, is omitted in English On diet. It means eating only a limited amount of food, or following the recipes given by doctors and nutritionists.

You all recall that you didn't go on a diet to lose weight? For example, to lose weight, we don't advocate eating fat, and we don't advocate eating "sugar-oil mixture" (such as fried dough sticks, fried pies, cheese bread, chicken chops, French fries, etc. ). advocate eating miscellaneous grains (corn, sweet potato, yam, miscellaneous grains rice, etc. ), chicken breast, pure milk, broccoli and other healthy foods.

Do you all have this concept of eating and practice it? Isn't this kind of diet essentially a "diet" (dieting, eating only limited food)? In fact, many "fat friends" have indeed become healthier because of such moderate dieting.

Dieting is a good thing. Then why are so many people in the weight loss circle opposed to "dieting"? In fact, what everyone opposes is not "dieting". But "excessive dieting", which is essentially different.

So how to judge a person's "excessive dieting"? Generally speaking, there are two aspects: heat and type.

Calories: Calories required for basal metabolism. Suppose your basal metabolism is 1, 200 calories, and you only eat 1, 000 calories every day. Even if you eat all kinds of food, it is also an "overeating".

Category: staple food, vegetables, meat and eggs (or bean products), fruit, milk. Suppose your basal metabolism is 1200 calories, and you eat enough 1200 calories every day. However, you only eat fruits for three meals a day (such as bananas for three meals a day). Even if you eat enough "basic calories" for your body. However, the variety is too single or incomplete, and it is also considered as "excessive dieting".

Losing weight requires "moderate diet", but never "overeating".
