In the process of gaining muscle and losing fat, there will be many rumors, and many people will believe it and stick to it. The wrong fitness method is not only harmful to the body, but also reduces the metabolic capacity of the body, leading to the failure of gaining muscle and reducing fat, which leads to obesity.
Especially some people who need to lose weight quickly will be misled by some wrong ways to lose weight quickly or easily. Here are some common rumors about losing weight, which are unscientific. Don't trust them!
Rumor 1, drinking water will make you fat, so don't drink water.
Some people who want to lose weight will feel fat when they eat anything, and even when they drink water. After drinking water, I saw that I really gained weight, so I felt fat, and then I simply stopped drinking water.
This is obviously wrong. You should know that water has no calories, and drinking more water will not lead to obesity. It's just that some people who are easy to get fat ridicule their bodies, not really saying that drinking water will make them fat.
The reason for obesity is that we consume too many calories, which causes fat to accumulate in the body and cannot be consumed, which will lead to obesity. Drinking plenty of water can also replenish enough water to the body, maintain the running ability of the body, improve the blood circulation ability and promote the metabolic level of the body, which is more conducive to losing weight than making the body fat. Although the weight will increase after drinking water, it is not caused by the body getting fat. ?
Myth 2: The more you sweat, the better you lose weight.
Although it is normal to sweat during exercise, some people think that the more you sweat, the better your weight loss will be.
Sweating can help us lose weight, which is correct. Sweating after exercise shows that our exercise is effective for losing weight. Because during exercise, the body temperature will rise, the metabolic rate of the body will also increase, and the body will sweat, which also means that the body is consuming calories. Therefore, sweating during exercise is also one of the manifestations that can directly judge whether exercise is effective.
But the mistake is that the more you sweat, the better you lose weight. Although sweating can prove that body fat is consumed, it does not mean that sweating is equal to fat consumption. Because the sweat excreted by the body is actually the main component of water and the water contained in the body. In other words, the more you sweat, the faster your body loses water, very quickly. High-intensity aerobic exercise may last for 30 minutes, and some people will be dehydrated. Moreover, fat consumption is a slow process, and it is impossible to consume a lot at once during exercise. ?
When the body starts aerobic exercise, it will consume glycogen as the main fuel. About 30 minutes, glycogen is almost consumed, and fat will be consumed as the main fuel. However, the consumption of fat does not last forever. After 1 hour, the fat consumption will reach the peak and begin to decline. If you think that the more you sweat, the better your weight loss will be. If you continue to exercise, your body will burn and consume muscles as the main fuel, which will lead to the rapid loss of muscles in your body, which will lead to the decline of your metabolic ability and affect your weight loss efficiency. ?
Myth 3: If you don't eat breakfast or dinner, you will lose weight more easily.
During the period of losing weight, many people skip breakfast and dinner, which is also a rumor that most people believe in losing weight. Although reducing a meal will reduce calorie intake, in theory, it is really to lose weight. Because the calorie intake decreases, the body is consuming calories, and the body will naturally lose weight.
Because of this, most people ignore a very important thing, that is, basic metabolism.
What is basal metabolism? Generally speaking, it is the minimum ability to maintain all living organs. From the point of view of losing weight and consuming calories, basal metabolism is dominant.
If you don't eat three meals a day on time, then the intake of nutrients is limited, which will lead to nutritional imbalance and cannot meet the needs of metabolism. And in good health? Smart? Yes, it will reduce the basal metabolic rate to maintain the normal operation of the body, which means that the body's ability to consume calories will decline, which will directly affect the efficiency of weight loss. Therefore, it is unscientific to leave yourself hungry without breakfast or dinner, thinking that you can lose weight faster by reducing your calorie intake!
Proverbs 4: You can practice anywhere you want to lose weight.
It is true that you need exercise to lose weight, but it is unscientific to practice where you want to lose weight. You know, there is no such thing as local fat loss in the process of fat loss, only whole body fat loss. In other words, in the process of reducing fat, the whole body fat is gradually consumed, not where you practice, the fat here will be consumed.
For example, if you want to lose a small belly, then you can lose abdominal fat by rolling your belly or other actions aimed at exercising your abdomen. However, you should know that only through aerobic exercise can you increase the rate of body fat consumption, but actions like belly rolling are not aerobic exercise, and the calories consumed will be very low, so it is impossible to consume excess fat in your stomach and reduce fat.
Therefore, in the process of reducing fat, in order to improve the body's fat burning efficiency, it is necessary to add aerobic exercise to brush fat, which is not as simple as practicing wherever you want.
The above four rumors are still very common in life. I don't know if you are doing it. If so, I hope to correct it in time, keep healthy and slim down.
