In the past few days, a fan friend asked me such a topic in a private message, and she asked me what is the essence of losing weight, is it to lose weight? It's not that simple, losing weight is just a phenomenon.
We need to look at the essence through the phenomenon, not just lose weight. It is more important to lose fat, adjust the diet structure, and create a calorie difference, which is the core essence of weight loss. So let's share this topic today:
1. The essence of weight loss is more than just a change in weight
Many of our friends like to look at this and see the change in weight, because when the weight is lost, the weight loss is successful. In fact, this is a very superficial view, because sometimes we lose weight, and we can't tell what exactly is lost.
It is very possible to lose fat, but also possibly to lose muscle and water. Losing fat and gaining muscle is the real weight loss. If we lose a lot of muscle, but lose very little fat, basically we have failed to lose weight.
What we have to do is to lose weight in the process, really lose fat, adjust the diet, and create a calorie difference. Then, through long-term running-in adjustment and optimization, you can create a set of dietary structures and habits that suit you. In this way, we can guarantee the effect of weight loss.
And if this set of eating patterns and habits is created, you can easily automate weight loss in the future. There is no need to go through the vicious circle of rebound weight loss weight loss rebound.
So if you lose weight, stick to a scientific diet, eat enough basal metabolism, eat enough protein, and create a calorie difference. But the weight did not change much, but the body shape changed. This may be the loss of fat and the increase in muscle at the same time.
On the surface, it seems that there is no change in weight, but in fact, you are already on the right path, and it is only a matter of time before you succeed in losing weight.
That's why I've always told everyone that short-term weight changes don't make much sense, and there's no need to be anxious about that. What we have to do is to truly form our own diet structure and habits through long-term adjustment and optimization. Make it possible to lose weight with your daily diet.
Integrating weight loss into life, lifestyle and eating habits can lead to weight loss, which is the king of weight loss. Also, I've been advocating for healthy weight loss.
2. The essence of weight loss may involve the cellular level
We adjust the structure of the diet and create a calorie difference, in order to promote the burning of fat cells, and then reduce the volume of fat cells, and the volume of fat cells is reduced, and people will naturally lose weight.
All weight loss methods are actually centered around this goal. Regardless of what I said about the scientific diet to create calorie differences, it is exercise to consume energy, etc. Essentially, it's all about shrinking the volume of fat cells, then increasing muscle and increasing basal metabolism.
Fat burning is generally possible under three conditions: the first is in winter, brown fat cells will burn white fat cells for energy, so as to reduce the volume of fat cells and achieve the purpose of weight loss.
The second is exercise, which is an increase in consumption and a calorie difference when the energy intake remains the same or decreases. Therefore, it can also promote the burning of fat cells to supply energy to the body.
The third is gluconeogenesis, which is the essence of many weight loss methods. To put it simply, it is a process in which non-sugar substances are turned into sugar to supply energy through a series of biochemical reactions.
At this time, the intake of carbohydrates is generally restricted, and the intake of protein is increased, which can inhibit muscle breakdown, while providing satiety and increasing the caloric effect of food. Fat is used for energy as much as possible, so it can also reduce the volume of fat cells.
Therefore, our weight loss must involve the cellular level, and it must act on the volume of fat cells to really lose weight successfully.
To sum up: the essence of weight loss is not only the change of weight, but also the adjustment of the structure of eating habits, creating a caloric difference, and reducing the volume of fat cells. The essence of all weight loss methods is the same, they are all about finding ways to reduce the size of fat cells.
