Do you really lose weight by eating less or not at all?

After a long period of human evolution, your body has become very smart and can cope with many different situations: when you have enough food, you will store energy, and when you are hungry, your body will think that famine is coming, and then store energy as much as possible to reduce the metabolic level.

The fact is that if you eat too much, you will eat very little and lose weight, but you will lose muscle instead of fat. Because muscle is the most energy-consuming part of the human body, the body first breaks down muscle instead of fat to supply energy. You will feel that you don't want to move, just want to rest and be listless. This is also the instinct of the body, so that you can reduce energy consumption to ensure that you can survive without food.

But you won't last long, and your strong hunger and appetite will gradually exceed your determination to lose weight. At that moment, you started your original eating habits again, or rewarded yourself for thinking that the slimming plan was successful, which led to a rapid recovery of weight and even exceeded the original weight.

In fact, proper dietary restrictions are indeed one of the factors to lose weight. But extreme diet control, weight loss, stopping restriction, weight recovery, and extreme diet control, and so on, your body will consume less and less energy, and it will be more difficult to lose weight next time. On the contrary, it will become easier and easier to gain weight.

This method is often suitable for young people who love to take shortcuts. Because you are young, you have the capital to take risks. Because I love beauty, I am willing to starve and freeze.
