What is weight loss?
First of all, we should understand that the composition of weight is composed of bones, muscles, blood, cell fluids, lymph and fat.

What we need is more muscles, more bones and normal body fluids. Because there are many visceral muscles, it means that the body's metabolism is normal. On the contrary, visceral muscles decrease and metabolic function decreases. There are many muscles in the limbs, and the physical quality and physiological function are good. On the contrary, their physical fitness declines and physical aging occurs. The reduction of metabolic rate means the reduction of energy consumption, and it is easy to form a physique that is easy to gain weight and difficult to lose weight.

Now quite a few people want to lose weight quickly, but the real weight loss is to lose fat, and the weight loss speed is relatively slow. So many people think they have lost weight. They only eat vegetables and fruits because of hunger. Hunger and exercise lose water, bones and protein's weight. The resulting problems are decreased metabolic rate, decreased immunity and accelerated aging.

Science has proved that one gram of fat in our body has 9 kilocalories, and one kilogram of fat has 9,000 kilocalories. Not easy to consume. We walk at a speed of 100 meters/minute 1 hour, which consumes about 350 kilocalories. If we walk 1 hour every day, it will take 26 days to lose 1 kg of fat. If you jog, you will consume 400 kilocalories per hour, and it will take 23 days per day and hour to lose 1 kg. Also ensure that the daily intake of energy can not exceed the standard.

Lose 1 kg muscle, lose more than 3 kg, because protein will combine a lot of water, and muscle contains 20% protein and 70% water. So if you lose fat, you only have 1 kg of fat. If you lose 1 kg of pure muscle, you will lose 3.5 kg of water accordingly. Weight loss caused by protein reduction is very rapid and significant.

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.

What we need to pay attention to is that losing weight is not necessarily losing weight, but also losing weight. Some people have obviously lost a lot of weight after losing weight, but the weight loss is not obvious. Why? This is because the fat itself is very light. Think about cooking. Oil drops are on the water, floating on the water instead of sinking at the bottom. It can be seen that oil is much lighter than water.

When you lose body fat, when you weigh yourself, you will find that you won't lose much weight, because you lose lighter oil instead of heavier water. So friends who want to lose weight don't need to care too much about their weight changes. Reducing fat doesn't necessarily mean losing weight.
