Ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, high-protein, low-carb dietTo put it simply, it means not eating or only eating a small amount of staple foods, but not restricting the intake of high-fat and high-protein foods such as meat.
Its principle is that when the intake of carbohydrates is too small, the body cannot rely on glucose for energy, but consumes fat and metabolizes it into ketones for energy, so as to achieve the best effect.
Sounds wonderful, but is it really reliable?Scientists believe that the strategy of strictly adhering to the ketogenic diet,Some people do lose weight slightly, but the results vary from person to person.
Some people may not have obvious effects, and may also have hair loss, constipation, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, etcExcessive fat deposition on the blood vessel wall will weaken the elasticity of the blood vessels, narrowing and blocking the lumen, leading to hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases.

In recent years, meal replacement products, known as "full without starvation, nutritious and convenient", have also become the "artifact" of Internet celebrities. The more common ones on the market are meal replacement powder, meal replacement bars, meal replacement porridge, meal replacement shakes, etc. They are used to reduce fat by reducing calorie and nutrient requirements.

Enzymes are a product touted as a "magic weapon" that claims to reduce the absorption rate of fatHelp users break down excess body fat to achieve the best purpose.
But in fact, the essence of enzymes is an "enzyme", and in the human body, the main function of enzymes is to accelerate chemical reactions. Many nutrients are too large to cross the intestinal wall and must be broken down into smaller units before they can be absorbed by the digestive system.
Enzymes are the main helpers in this process, and with the help of enzymes, they are smoothly absorbed and the absorption rate of food is improved. Enzymes that are ingested "orally" are broken down as proteinsOr it fails under the action of gastric acid and cannot play a catalytic role.
Bigu originated from the Taoist "do not eat grains", mainly to fill hunger with medicine and food, or fasting for a certain period of time, which is a common way of health preservation used by the ancients. But in modern times, it has suddenly become one of the most popular ways for people.
During the period of Bigu (generally ranging from a few days to dozens of days), it is advocated not to eat whole grains, or even a complete fast, so that the body can convert the fat in the body into caloriesTo meet the daily needs of the body, so as to burn fat and lose weight.
However, from the perspective of nutrition, Bigu is not scientific, and the human body's metabolism needs to consume a lot of energy, and the energy comes from the rice, noodles, fish, and meat eaten.
In the state of hunger after long-term fasting, it is easy to cause organ damage and a series of diseases. In the long run, this way of only fasting carbohydrates will bring non-negligible harm to the body.
In real life, some people feel that their health has improved because of Bigu, which is just an individual case and is not suitable for public health care.
