In the season of meat exposure, we must pay attention to efficiency in reducing weight. Therefore, dieting is regarded by many people as an effective way to lose weight. But I must tell you the truth. It is unrealistic to rely on eating less or even dieting to realize the desire of lightning thin. It is also possible that the more hungry the fatter. what? Are all the delicious food that you have been trying to avoid in these years wasted? Does the law of conservation of energy fail on me? If you think too much, the factors that really affect your diet and weight loss are from the beginning. The "stumbling block" on the way to slimming down - why is the energy compensation mechanism so hungry that the front heart is close to the back, but it can't slim down? In fact, you can't overturn the law of energy conservation. Your troubles may come from another factor - energy compensation mechanism. The so-called energy compensation mechanism is that the body tries to maintain energy balance by all means to avoid negative energy balance. The total energy balance of human body depends on energy intake and energy consumption. The energy compensation mechanism means that when you reduce energy intake, the energy consumption of the human body, such as basic metabolism, may decrease, resulting in that even if you reduce energy intake, you cannot achieve negative energy balance and weight loss. In other words, our human body is very smart. When you try to "starve" it, in order to protect yourself, it will reduce the basic metabolic rate. This is also a reason why humans have evolved so far - "adaptation". This "adaptation" has resulted in the phenomenon of "you eat less, it uses less" and "neither eat nor lean". Obese people are more likely to be "compensated" after simply dieting. It is worth noting that energy compensation plays different roles in different people. The study found that people with different body composition have great differences in energy compensation. Obese people with high fat content are more likely to have significant energy compensation after dieting. Therefore, it is not advisable to reduce weight simply by eating less or even not eating. Not only can not achieve the effect of weight loss, but also may cause a significant decline in the basic metabolic rate, and instead become more prone to obesity. Not only that, there are also some people who can't lose weight even after exercising. What's the matter? In fact, this is also related to the energy compensation mechanism. While we are increasing our energy consumption, our body is also trying to achieve a balance of energy. Although our exercise consumes a certain amount of energy, after the exercise, we will find that our appetite is better and we eat more than before. The energy intake offsets the previous energy expenditure. In addition, when you increase the energy consumption of sports, your body will "find ways" to reduce the energy consumption in daily life. For example, I purposely exercised for one hour today, but I didn't want to move because of backache, which reduced the energy consumption in other life such as labor. Break the magic spell of "compensation". You have to do this. How to overcome the negative impact of "energy compensation mechanism" on weight loss? The answer is to increase the body's muscles. We know that muscle mass is the basis for maintaining the basic metabolic rate. People with less muscle mass tend to have lower basic metabolic rate. Therefore, abandon the idea of simple diet as soon as possible and never think of "starving" to get a good figure. Because the hunger you suffered in those years may be the root cause of your weight rebound and getting fatter and fatter. We are right
