The truth about weight loss: Why don’t you eat dinner and lose weight?

A few truths about weight loss, you will know why you can’t lose weight after reading them:

Question 1: Why don’t you eat dinner and lose weight?

The truth: Although you didn’t eat dinner, you ate snacks, maybe in the afternoon, maybe before going to bed, and the calories of various potato chips, Oreos, spicy strips, and milk tea are not low. After a lot of operations, the calories of snacks consumed may not be lower than dinner, but this calorie is ignored by you.

It is recommended that people who lose weight should supplement some high-quality carbohydrates, seasonal vegetables and a small amount of high-protein food for dinner in order to better control appetite, and quit various processed snacks, so as to better control calorie intake and achieve the goal of weight loss.

Question 2: Why haven’t I lost weight after being a vegetarian for a while?

The truth: Being a vegetarian may not necessarily help you lose weight. Look at Zhu Bajie, he walked 108,000 miles, and he didn’t lose weight by being a vegetarian. Many vegetarian dishes have high calories, such as three fresh vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised eggplant, sweet potatoes with sand, etc., which may have higher calories than meat.

Many people think that vegetarian food has poor satiety, so they will eat more vegetarian dishes. In this way, the calorie intake of a meal is not less than before, and the weight cannot be reduced naturally.

In addition, there are some meal replacement products, such as oatmeal bars, dark chocolate and other healthy snacks, which are also very high in calories. Don't expect to lose weight by eating these. These so-called healthy products for weight loss are just a means for bloggers to make money.

Question 3: Why don't I lose weight when I run for an hour every day?

The truth: Exercise can improve activity metabolism. You may burn about 550 kcal of calories after running for an hour. However, some people reward themselves with a fried chicken and a cup of milk tea after running. Such behavior undoubtedly inefficiently consumes calories from exercise, and it is impossible to lose weight.

It is recommended that if you feel hungry after exercise, you can eat a cucumber or a boiled egg to fill your stomach, instead of indulging yourself in eating all kinds of high-calorie foods, which will cause your exercise efforts to go to waste.

Summary:

Our body follows the law of conservation of energy. Long-term excess calories will lead to fat accumulation and obesity. So, don't say that you get fat by drinking water. Most people's obesity is caused by eating. If you only drink water for three days and don't eat anything, see if you will lose weight.

If you want to lose weight, you need to ensure that the body's calorie output is greater than the calorie intake, so that the body can consume the reserved energy and lose weight.

If you find that you eat less and exercise more, but you don't lose weight, then you must be lying, or you underestimate the calories of snacks and overestimate the consumption of exercise, which leads to ineffective weight loss.
