Summer is here, which means you can no longer cover your flesh.

Girls are anxious to lose weight and reveal their slim waists and long legs, but the methods used by many girls are too harmful to the body. Chun Yujun wants to dissuade them.

After all, health comes first, weight second, and many people lose weight after using these weight loss methods. . . rebounded.

3 kinds of weight loss methods that are popular on the Internet, but they are not reliable

1. Eat a single food to lose weight

Some methods require dieters to eat only one or several foods within 2-3 weeks, such as the cucumber and egg diet (only cucumbers and eggs are allowed to be eaten), the cabbage soup diet, and the grapefruit diet every day.

First of all, eating the same food every day is very boring and anti-human. It is difficult for us to stick to a monotonous weight loss plan.

Secondly, these weight loss methods often strictly limit each major category of food, that is, limiting one of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, which can lead to malnutrition.

These methods often recommend that everyone take multivitamins, but be aware that even so, you will still lose some important nutrients.

2. Detox Juice Diet

On the market, there are some detox juices or detox meal replacements, claiming that the products have scientific proportions, low calories, and can meet the nutritional needs throughout the day.

The method of use is not to eat within 1-2 weeks, only drink these.

To be honest, most products do not have serious R&D teams at all, and the ratios are not scientific. They are just a simple and crude mixture of a variety of fruits and vegetables.

It is essentially an extremely low-energy weight loss method that relies on low-calorie short-term rapid weight loss, which is very harmful to the body, and the weight lost can easily come back.

3. ketogenic diet

The ketogenic weight loss method is very popular on Zhihu now.

The ketogenic diet consists of high fat (accounting for 65%-90% of total energy), moderate protein and low carbohydrate (accounting for 5%-10% of total energy). It has a certain clinical effect - it is used for brain diseases (such as epilepsy). )Treatment.

However, everyone is not encouraged to use the ketogenic diet to lose weight.

Because, although a very low carbohydrate diet will make us lose weight quickly, it will lead to insufficient energy to maintain the normal operation of the body.

If a dieter has liver and kidney function problems, there will be health risks.

Moreover, this kind of weight loss effect is difficult to maintain. Once a normal diet is restored, it is easy to rebound, which will make weight loss more and more difficult in the long run.

What is the right way to lose weight?

There is no doubt that the above three weight loss methods may cause you to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time.

However, short-term weight loss often results in a large proportion of muscle and water loss, and even bone loss, which is very easy to rebound, and can easily cause weight losers to fall into an endless cycle of weight loss-rebound-weight loss-rebound...

Therefore, short-term weight loss ≠ successful weight loss.

Slow, steady weight loss is more likely to last than drastic weight changes. A healthy weight loss rate is 1 to 2 pounds per week.

This requires us to eat scientifically and do regular physical exercise.

In the process of weight loss, other people’s diet and exercise plans can only be used as a reference and cannot be imitated.

What we need to do is to find the sports we like, and then exercise 3-4 times a week for 30-60 minutes each time.

Diet is not about extreme restrictions on specific foods, but about enriching the menu and balancing meals. Everyone should find a dietary method that suits their long-term practice based on their own eating preferences and work and rest conditions.
