Despite strict control over diet, there has been no change in weight; Trying hard to slim down the waist, but the waist is getting thicker and thicker; After finally losing a few pounds, it didn't take long to bounce back... This is a problem that many weight loss enthusiasts have experienced. How to scientifically manage weight? Recently, the reporter interviewed relevant experts on this matter. Dieting is the preferred weight loss method for many people. Some people even attempt to achieve better weight loss results through extreme methods such as fasting, skipping staple foods, and only eating one meal a day. Yu Yongchao, the attending physician of the Nutrition Department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that this practice would reduce the basic metabolic rate, so that it would be easy to develop a "fat prone constitution", and even the situation of "getting fatter and fatter" would occur. The reduction of fat is systemic, not limited to a specific area. Jiang Shan, director of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that many people will find that parts with more fat, such as waist and abdomen, may lose weight first, while parts with less fat will lose weight slowly. This phenomenon can easily lead people to mistakenly believe that local weight loss is effective, but in fact, it is just a manifestation of reduced body fat and a natural law of fat distribution. The concept of 'where to practice, where to lose weight' is a misconception Jiangshan reminds that if you want to slim down your waist, you cannot rely solely on local exercise. Instead, you need to reduce overall fat content by controlling your diet and combining it with appropriate exercise, in order to achieve the goal of slimming down your waist. Overtime, staying up late, and irregular eating habits are common habits among some office workers, which undoubtedly pose great challenges to weight management. Ma Xiao, director of the physical examination center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that there is no shortcut to weight loss, and obesity is closely related to bad lifestyles. To effectively control weight, one must start by adjusting their lifestyle. Ma Xiao suggests that one should master scientific dietary and exercise methods, while also paying attention to sleep and psychological adjustments. In terms of diet, it is not only necessary to enrich the variety of food and increase the intake of vegetables and grains, but also to pay attention to the order of eating. Eat vegetables first, then protein foods, and finally carbohydrates and grains. Weight management is a long-term process that requires persistence. Meng Hua, director of the Metabolic Weight Loss Center of General Surgery Department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that weight loss is not only to reduce weight figures, but also to improve health.
