Weight is a number we pay attention to.
Fat people exercise on diets in order to lose weight, but their weight keeps rebounding and they can't really lose weight. And even if a thin person overeats, his body will basically not gain weight.
Doesn't it say that "the body follows the law of conservation of calories", why can't some people lose weight, while others can't? It may be that the body is "hindering" you.
Studies have found that your body remembers your weight level and maintains it within a stable range, a number known as a "weight adjustment point".
When your weight is out of range, your body will find ways to adjust your metabolic mechanisms, such as making you consume more and suppress your appetite at the same time, so that the weight will slowly fall back.
When your weight falls below the range, your body will also find ways to make you eat more and reduce calorie consumption, so that the weight will slowly return to it.
Therefore, fat people will find it difficult to lose weight because they don't want to move, and their appetite will always become very strong, and they don't control enough and want to overeat, while thin people will find it difficult to gain weight because they don't have a strong appetite and feel that eating is to survive.
Do you think that eating more or eating less is a personal choice? The hypothalamus releases hormones to regulate appetite, which are hormones related to hunger and satiety.
When a person is losing weight, the weight slowly falls below the weight adjustment point, at this time, the body will notice the abnormality, which will release a large amount of hunger hormones, making you have the desire to eat, and you will be unable to overeat, so as to control the weight loss.
When a person gains weight and exceeds the weight adjustment point, the body also produces hormones related to satiety, which makes you lose the appetite to eat, thus preventing weight gain.
And the same is true for sports and fitness, some people exercise for 1 hour a day, but their weight has not dropped significantly, why is this?
The body has a mechanism called "energy compensation", when the body feels that you burn calories during exercise, it will actively lower your basal metabolism to reduce calorie output, and the body is trying to plug the calorie hole for you.
You think that exercise consumes 500 kcal, but in fact the body only consumes 300 kcal, which is far less than expected, isn't it speechless?
Of course, there are also some people who lose weight or gain weight quickly in a short period of time through extreme dieting or overeating. But at this time, the body is not adjusting to your new weight, but is trying to restore the "weight adjustment point".
When your weight is below the setting point, your body will actively reduce your basal metabolism and allow you to turn on the energy-saving mode to store calories and gain weight back, so there will be a weight regain problem.
When your weight is higher than the set-up point, your body expands its calorie expenditure to reduce your weight, and your weight gain plan fails.
So, when you fail to lose weight or fail to gain weight, it is mainly the body that is stopping you, which is also one thing that many scientists have proven after verification: it is really difficult to drastically change a person's weight.
However, this does not mean that it cannot be done, because there are people who have successfully lost weight or gained weight, and we can learn and refer to it.
What we need to do is to make a scientific plan, such as: do more strength training during weight loss, control the duration of aerobic exercise, avoid muscle loss, do not over-diet, and daily calorie intake should be greater than the basal metabolic value. Eat three meals regularly, supplement high-quality protein, eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, eat a diversified diet, and balance dietary nutrition.
Don't choose an extreme, fast way to lose weight, but extend the planning period and adapt to the new "weight adjustment point" with your body, so as to avoid regaining your previous figure.
