"Xiaoli, I haven't seen you for half a year, why have you lost so much weight?"
"I have a secret recipe. ”
This year, 28-year-old Xiaoli and Xiaobai once worked in a company, because of their similar age, the two quickly became friends who talked about everything, and Xiaobai naturally knew that Xiaoli had a crush on the company for more than two years.
Half a year ago, Xiaoli finally mustered up the courage to confess to her crush, but unexpectedly, the boy rejected Xiaoli very decisively, and said that he didn't like a fat girl like Xiaoli. This incident hit Xiaoli very hard, so she simply quit her job and made up her mind to lose weight.
But weight loss is "easier said than done", Xiaoli couldn't withstand the high-intensity workout in the gym, and later had to shift her attention to diet pills. It just so happened that Xiaoli heard from a friend not long ago that taking "semaglutide injection" (hypoglycemic drug) can help lose weight quickly in a short period of time, and finally Xiaoli also decided to "take a risk".
The weight loss effect of this injection is really "extraordinary", just after more than a month, Xiaoli lost more than 20 pounds under the condition of normal diet. Although she lost weight, the side effects of nausea, vomiting, and increased heart rate brought by the injection made Xiaoli doubly tormented.
So under such serious side effects, should Xiaoli continue to be injected?
Let's take a look at it, are diet pills that lose more than 20 pounds in more than a month really suitable for female friends?
Before diving into this topic, let's take you to understand how the "fat and thin" we often talk about in our lives are defined, is it just judged by the eyes?
Always feeling fat? Maybe it's a psychological factor
In life, we often hear many girls saying that they are fat and often shouting about losing weight, and there are also many girls like Xiaoli at the beginning of the article, who rely on diet pills to lose weight after receiving some stimulation.
Do you know that a person's fat and thinness does not simply rely on the eyes to "see", but needs to be judged according to height, weight, body fat rate, waist circumference and other aspects.
Among them, the most commonly used method to judge "fat and thin" in clinical practice is the body mass index (BMI) set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Maybe you see the word "body mass index" in front of the screen and feel very "distance", thinking that you can only detect it when you go to the hospital.
But in fact, all of us can self-test our body mass index at home. Because the World Health Organization has already published the calculation formula (BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)^2).
For adults over the age of 18, the calculated BMI between 18.5 and 23.9 is normal, which is the standard;
When the value is less than 18.4, it is thin, at this time, you should make a weight gain plan, reasonable energy intake; when the calculated value is greater than 24, it is obese, pay attention to the dietary rules, and when the value exceeds 28, it is overweight, at this time, it is especially necessary to reduce the intake of high sugar, high fat and high calories, exercise regularly, and control weight gain.
Seeing this, some people may say that many obese and overweight friends in our lives are unable to adhere to diet and exercise for a long time, can you try the kind of weight loss "miracle drug" that Xiaoli said at the beginning of the article?
Lose 20 pounds in a month and a half! Is there really such a miracle drug? Many people are buying it, doctor: The risk is very high
"Semaglutide Injection" is popular in the weight loss circle, what kind of drug is this? Why can it be so "loved" by many weight loss people, and what adverse effects will people have after injection?
In fact, semaglutide injection was approved for marketing in mainland China in 2021, and is a hypoglycemic drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and reducing the probability of type 2 diabetes combined with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
However, in October 2022, after the president of Tesla mentioned on social media that he had lost more than 20 pounds in a month and a half by injecting "semaglutide injection", "semaglutide injection" exploded in the weight loss circle.
Researchers told everyone that the reason why semaglutide can play a role in the so-called weight loss is because the drug itself can inhibit gastric emptying, reduce gastrointestinal peristalsis, greatly relieve hunger, and then reduce energy intake.
However, whether it is China, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries, the relevant departments have issued warnings about semaglutide for weight loss. Why?
It turns out that many people only pay attention to the weight loss effect of semaglutide, but ignore the side effects it brings to the body, through clinical reactions, semaglutide drugs may cause adverse reactions in the nervous system, immune system, digestive system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, among which nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other adverse reactions are the most common. Therefore, it is not clinically recommended for everyone to use this drug to lose weight without authorization.
Although the drug is fast to lose weight, it hurts the body, and if you want to lose weight scientifically, you have to keep these 3 points in mind
I believe many people have heard that many friends who lose weight have a serious rebound after trying drugs to lose weight, and they rarely can really lose weight. In fact, drug weight loss is not scientific, if you really want to lose weight, you need to pay attention to the following methods.
First of all, you should consciously drink plenty of water. Drinking water can make us feel more full, especially if we drink a glass of water before eating, you may find that you are not so hungry, and your appetite will naturally be smaller when eating.
At the same time, drinking water can help us enhance the body's metabolic rate, the body's metabolic rate is enhanced, the body's consumption will increase, and the body fat will be burned faster.
Secondly, pay attention to eating on time and eating a full meal. With the increasing pressure of life and work, many friends cannot eat three meals on time, but do you know that this kind of diet Xi very unscientific.
For example, if you don't eat dinner the night before, and the next morning, you will experience a very noticeable feeling of hunger, followed by revenge eating, which may not only cause weight fluctuations, but also gastrointestinal upset.
Therefore, it is clinically recommended that friends who intend to lose weight should still pay attention to eating on time.
In order to avoid eating too much, we can maintain a seven-point full diet Xi, and many studies have found that a seven-point full diet can help reduce people's gastrointestinal burden, reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and is very beneficial to physical health.
Finally, it is essential to increase physical activity.
Excessive body fat deposition is the main reason for people's obesity, so if you want to lose weight, the most fundamental thing is to consume body fat, and exercise is the most common way for people to burn fat.
Jogging, swimming, skipping rope, etc. are all good ways to burn fat, but here is a reminder that no matter which exercise, if you want to achieve obvious fat burning, you need to stick to it for a long time.
We always believe that anything will pay off as long as you stick to it, and the same goes for weight loss.
Summary:
For obese people, it is true that losing weight correctly can bring unexpected benefits to the body, but for people with a standard body or on the thin side, excessive weight loss or the wrong way of losing weight may bring various discomfort effects to the body.
Especially for those non-diabetic patients who use "semaglutide injection" to lose weight, the side effects brought by these drugs may be very "painful". Therefore, we call on everyone to control their diet and insist on exercising, so that the way to lose weight is safer and more reliable.
