It's almost the New Year, and many friends have returned home to gather with their families. The next is a big meal, so many netizens ask how many pounds will you gain by eating a big meal?
Weight loss friends are very worried, after a big meal in the New Year, too much food delicious did not control, after a big meal, it turned out that the next day they weighed themselves, two pounds, three pounds, or even five pounds, and then panicked, after that meal, will it make us fat?
Today I will explain to you clearly in this article, look carefully, only everyone can understand the principle of weight becoming obese, so that they will not be confused on the road to weight loss. When we eat a big meal and consume enough calories, first of all, our body will immediately mobilize and find a way to consume this large amount of calories you ingest, which is actually a favorite way of the body, and the body consumes calories in three forms.
The first is through basal metabolism, each of our basal metabolism is actually fixed, this value basically will not change much.
The second is this kind of physical exercise consumption, both active and passive. It is the energy that the body consumes during exercise.
The third is to increase consumption by raising the body temperature, so after we have such nutritional knowledge, you will know: when you eat a meal, the original cold hands and feet, and even the whole body have begun to heat up, which is actually a form of the body to actively consume calories.
The excess calories that are not consumed will be stored in the form of glycogen in our human liver and muscles, which is actually this liver glycogen and muscle glycogen, but these glycogen can not be stored separately, it must rely on the help of water, every moment liver glycogen needs three grams of water to help, in order to store in this liver and muscle.
So, if you have been eating a low-carb diet for a few days before eating this big meal, and you still have the habit of exercising, then your liver glycogen and muscle glycogen have consumed a lot, then a rich carbohydrate-rich meal will supplement our glycogen storage, plus the weight of water.
Let's sum it up, this number is actually quite a lot, normal people, probably can reach about 1-2 kg.
When the body's liver and muscles are full, the excess calories, our body will go through a process called NBL, that is, lipid regeneration, the excess glycogen is stored as fat, but this process, the body is actually unwilling.
Because this process will consume a lot of energy, the efficiency is relatively low, and in this transformation process, every day is an upper limit, not an infinite, and the upper limit of a day cannot exceed 500 grams of fat.
Such words. It's clear to us that when we go to a big meal, which leads to weight gain, our body will gain about 1.5 to 2 kilograms of glycogen and water weight, as well as the upper limit of 500 grams of fat, so we occasionally eat a big meal and suddenly gain so much weight.
In fact, don't worry too much, through some exercise or light fasting, glycogen will soon be used, water will be discharged, the reason why we become fat, it is more likely to be some extra calories every day, and then continue to accumulate, slowly to get fat. You can drink a cup of green body water before meals, which can make the body absorb less sugar lipid proteins, and at the same time promote the metabolic capacity of the stomach and intestines, avoid absorbing too much energy, and prevent the morning report of the mid-year meal. If you still have questions about obesity, consult a dietitian at Blue Bean.
If you feel it makes sense, feel free to forward it to the friend who often eats big meals with you and tells him that being fat has nothing to do with you.
