When you are hungry, it's the stomach. Nothing extra is broken down into glucose to provide energy for the human body. This hunger information will be fed back to the brain, so you feel hungry. However, after a long-term diet to lose weight, once the body lacks energy, the first thing it consumes is not fat, but other nutrients. It begins to decompose muscle glycogen to produce energy, that is, muscle glycogen is decomposed to a certain extent, and then liver glycogen is decomposed.

When hungry, the body will give priority to mobilizing sugar in the blood as energy. With the prolongation of starvation time, sugar substances are exhausted and blood sugar drops sharply. In order to reduce hypoglycemia, the body stopped burning sugar and began to use protein as an energy source. Because protein is an important part of muscle, the consumption of protein will directly lead to muscle atrophy.

Precautions for users after hunger:

1, persimmon: the feeling of fullness is poor, and eating it can't immediately relieve hunger. On the contrary, because of the more gastric juice secreted when hungry, persimmon contains more fruit acid and tannic acid, which is easy to form insoluble gel blocks, which is not conducive to digestion.

2, avoid irritating food? Eating spicy, sour, salty and frozen food on an empty stomach will destroy the gastric mucosa or intestinal wall, cause gastrointestinal spasm and colic, and induce gastrointestinal diseases. For menstruating women, eating spicy food on an empty stomach can also cause menstrual disorders and dysmenorrhea. ?

3. Avoid foods with high protein content: If you eat too many foods with high protein content such as milk, soybean milk, eggs and meat on an empty stomach, protein will be forced to convert it into heat energy and consume it, which will not play a nourishing role.
