The old calendar year is just looking at the volume, and the beginning of spring is more urgent. It was the beginning of spring, and the circle of friends began to be filled with all kinds of New Year's flags. "Don't lose 20 pounds, don't eat hot pot", "Don't lose a small belly, never eat McDonald's again". Dieting seems to be the simplest and most brutal way to lose weight. But can dieting really help us achieve "healthy thinness"?
Dieting to lose weight ≠ fat loss
Scientific studies have shown that dieting for weight loss may lead to weight loss in the short term, but the long-term effect is not ideal. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association noted that dieters may see significant weight loss in the short term, but this decline is often accompanied by a loss of water and muscle rather than a true loss of fat. Dieters tend to weigh more quickly** after returning to their normal diet, and may even exceed their original levels. This is because dieting causes the body's basal metabolic rate to decrease, making it easier for the body to store fat.
In addition, dieting can also bring a range of health problems. Long-term dieting may lead to malnutrition, decreased immunity, endocrine disorders, etc.
According to Mr. Huang, a psychological counselor from a well-known domestic weight management company, dieting may also lead to serious mental illnesses such as anorexia and bulimia in extreme cases. Therefore, dieting is not a sustainable, healthy way to lose weight in the long run.
Green Slim Advice: Diet, exercise and lifestyle habits work synergistically
Weight loss is a constant battle, and to successfully lose fat healthily, a scientific weight management concept is even more important. For example, the "five forces in one" weight management concept of Green Thin Company is to formulate a personalized weight loss plan according to the customer's physical condition, metabolic characteristics and weight loss needs, and provide customers with all-round weight loss support from multiple dimensions such as diet, exercise, and psychology, so as to finally achieve the goal of healthy weight loss.
Green Slim Suggestion: To achieve healthy weight loss, ordinary people can mainly start from three aspects: diet, exercise and lifestyle habits.
In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose foods rich in protein, dietary fiber and vitamins, while controlling the intake of carbohydrates and fats. Such a diet can meet the basic needs of the body while avoiding the accumulation of fat caused by excessive intake.
In terms of exercise, it is recommended that you can choose aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise that suits you according to your physical condition and exercise preferences. Through exercise, we can burn excess calories and fat, increase muscle mass, and increase basal metabolic rate.
In addition, good lifestyle habits are also a part of the weight loss process. Getting enough sleep, having a regular routine, and a positive mindset can all help us manage our weight better.
The beginning of spring is the beginning of a new year and a new starting point for us to pursue a healthy life. On the road to weight loss, we should abandon the wrong concept of weight loss and choose scientific and healthy methods to achieve the goal. May every "overweight" group usher in a healthier and better version of themselves in the new year.
Celebrate the New Year in peace and auspiciousness
