Why do some people say that dieting and losing weight are all about water, not fat, or fat?
Dieting is mainly to reduce muscle and some water, and it is not easy to lose body fat.

1, Do you want to reduce water or fat first?

(1) Fat, of course. Losing weight lies in reducing fat. Losing weight is not equal to losing weight. Jianshui may lose weight, but the real purpose of losing weight is to reduce the proportion of body fat. The consideration of weight has little practical significance. What affects your appearance is your size, not your weight. Because the density of fat is very small, but the density of muscle is very high, and most of people's weight comes from the weight of muscle. Losing weight is reducing fat, and losing weight is reducing muscle. The two are not the same thing. It's like, two people weigh the same, but their bodies are very different.

(2) The real healthy and effective weight loss should be aimed at reducing fat, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing fat without reducing other nutrients by monitoring the changes of body muscles, moisture, fat and other indicators.

2. The difference between reducing water and reducing fat

Reducing fat is the real weight loss, and the skin will not change. The real purpose of losing weight is to reduce the proportion of body fat. Dehydration may only bring short-term weight loss, but it will rebound in the long run, and the body shape will not change much, and the dehydrated skin will change. Lack of water in the skin can also cause symptoms such as dry stool and dry mouth. In addition, reducing fat does not necessarily bring about obvious changes in weight, but changes in body shape, becoming more symmetrical and fit.

How to lose weight correctly

1. First of all, control the diet, limit the total energy intake to 1000- 1500kcal/ day, and reduce the fat intake, which should account for 25%-35% of the total energy. The diet is rich in fruits, vegetables and dietary fiber; Lean meat and vegetable protein are used as sources of protein. There should be enough high-quality protein in the diet to lose weight. In addition to the necessary nutrition, it is also necessary to supplement the necessary vitamins, minerals and adequate water.

2, change eating habits, you need to chew slowly when eating, which can slow down the absorption of nutrients and control energy intake. The goal of diet control is to control the monthly weight loss at about 0.5 ~ 1 kg, and lose 7-8% in 6 months. Obese patients had better make a strict diet plan under the guidance of a special dietitian.

3. During exercise, the utilization of fatty acids and glucose in muscle tissue is greatly increased, so that excess sugar can only be used for energy supply and cannot be converted into fat storage. At the same time, with the increase of energy consumption, the stored adipose tissue is "mobilized" to burn for energy, and the adipose cells in the body shrink, thus reducing the formation and accumulation of fat. This can achieve the purpose of losing weight. Weight loss exercise should emphasize scientificity, rationality and individualization, and master the appropriate amount and degree of exercise according to its own characteristics.
