Today, several friends have added me as friends and asked me about weight loss. After learning about their situation, I found that these friends had actually lost weight successfully, but they all rebounded later.
But there are also some friends who will not rebound after losing weight, why is this? In fact, the reason is also very simple, today we will also discuss this topic:
1. The root of not rebounding lies in not losing muscle and adjusting the dietary structure
Many friends use some methods to lose dozens of pounds in a few months, and the whole person looks very different. They thought they had lost weight and began to return to their previous normal diet.
The point is that this so-called normal diet may not be a healthy diet at all. Many of my friends have told me that they used to eat until they had every meal, and they had to have a snack after eating.
There are also many friends who eat a variety of staple foods normally, carbohydrates and carbs, eat very little meat, and eat very salty and oily tastes. So after losing weight successfully, once they resume their so-called normal diet, they will visibly gain weight.
Because they didn't really adjust their diet structure in the process of losing weight, they really learned the underlying logic and cognition of weight loss. So no matter how many pounds they lose and how long it takes, they are always inseparable from the rebound in the back.
It's not that hard to lose weight, and it's not hard to lose weight. The difficulty is how to really stick to a healthy diet for a long time without rebounding, and you still feel very relaxed, and you don't feel like you're losing weight at all, which is the hardest.
Of course, the diet adopted by many friends during weight loss is too extreme. Some of my friends eat very little when they lose weight, and some people are hungry for a month or even months in a row, and to be honest, I admire their perseverance.
But because of this, once you return to your normal diet, you will overeat, and if you eat all the less food before, you will naturally get fatter and fatter.
Many of these unscientific diets will lose a lot of water and muscle, resulting in a decrease in basal metabolic rate, and a large amount of weight will rebound in the future.
That's why I've always told you that losing weight is about losing fat, reducing the volume of fat cells, and at the same time keeping muscle or even gaining muscle, which is the real weight loss.
If you don't do that, you're probably losing more than fat at all, but muscle-based. It looks thin, but you also lose muscle, you don't lose much fat at all, and it makes sense that it will rebound later.
2. The slower the weight loss, the less likely it is to rebound
I have shared with you before that it is most appropriate to lose about 4 pounds a month. Because the pure fat that can be lost in a month is also about 4 catties.
You can lose about 4 pounds of weight every month, which means that most of the weight you lose is mainly fat, and basically you will not lose muscle and water.
Of course, some friends may lose 4 pounds of pure fat in a month, and it is entirely possible to lose 2~3 pounds. In fact, no matter how many pounds you lose in a month, as long as you don't rebound, you can slowly lose your ideal weight.
Even if you lose two pounds a month, it will be 20 pounds in 10 months, and most overweight friends are about 2-30 pounds overweight. After a year of hard work, you can lose your own standard weight.
To sum up: so weight loss does not have to be too fast, what we need to pay attention to is whether there is real fat loss in the process of weight loss, whether there is a good diet and structure, which is the foundation of weight loss.
