Recently, Yi Nengjing posted a weight loss recipe on social platforms, saying that she successfully lost 12 pounds of weight in 10 days. She said that after returning from South Korea, she had gained 56 kilograms. So she began to try the carbon cycle diet method and successfully lost 12 pounds.
High-carb water and low-carbon water, 4 days a cycle
As the name suggests, it refers to setting "high-carb days" and "low-carbon water days" by adjusting the daily amount of carbohydrates for a period of time, and circulate them. The reporter saw a detailed record from Yi Nengjing's Weibo:
Day1 (Day 1): Liquid, you can choose any sugar-free drink, such as milk, soy milk, plant milk, etc., 500ml + 2000ml-3000ml water for three meals;
Day2: Broken protein, such as eggs and shrimp, the size of a fist per meal, need to be seasoned less;
Day3 (Day 3): Vegetables are broken, you can choose any kind of vegetarian food, one fist-sized vegetable per meal, and you also need to season less;
Day4: Start the carbohydrate cycle, based on coarse grains, corn, sweet potatoes, quinoa, etc., the size of a fist per meal.
Yi Nengjing said that by analogy, eating carbohydrates in a cycle every four days can be adjusted according to your habits. "By the seventh day, I could clearly feel that my back had become thinner, and my size had dropped from 38 to 34. ”
After searching, the reporter found that in fact, the so-called "carbon cycle diet method" is not new, and many netizens have tried it on Xiaohongshu. Netizen "Woo Duckling" is one of the netizens who have followed Yi Nengjing to check in these days. With a height of 1.63 meters, her initial weight was 121.8 pounds, and she began to enter her first cycle on April 7. After 4 days of drinking only soy milk, or eating only protein and vegetables all day, that is, on April 10, she lost a total of 5.8 pounds.
In this regard, some netizens said that Qin Hao last year and Yi Nengjing this year. Two people are really two people.
Some netizens think that the most difficult thing is actually persistence.
Some netizens also raised the unreasonableness of this weight loss method.
Expert Reminder:
"Not for everyone"
"Scientific weight loss should be based on the principles of a balanced diet and moderate exercise, focusing on the comprehensiveness of nutrition and the importance of physical activity, not just weight loss but fat loss. Dai Chun, deputy chief nutritionist of Nanjing First Hospital, believes that although the "carbon cycle diet method" may be effective for some people, it is not a suitable weight loss method for everyone, especially noteworthy, a cycle method that cannot be relied on for a long time. "It's okay to try occasionally in the plateau period, change your daily eating pattern to break through the plateau, but only in the short term, and you need to adjust it according to your physical condition, lifestyle habits and exercise intensity, and blindly following the trend may bring health risks such as nutritional deficiencies. ”
As Yi Nengjing said on Weibo at the end, "If people with bad stomach and gallbladder and anemia should not try it easily, my sister needs to be in good condition quickly because of her work, and she will also take nutritional supplements in the process." Experts also reminded that because the "carbon cycle diet" consumes fewer calories, it is not recommended to do strenuous exercise in this process, which is likely to lead to hypoglycemia.
"If you don't lose weight in April, you will be sad in May. The weather is getting hotter, and the thoughts of beauty lovers to "lose meat" are alive again. Dai Chun emphasized that if you want to be truly healthy, you should still create a calorie deficit while maintaining a balanced nutrition to ensure that all kinds of nutrients needed by the body can be met.
