Last year, the Chinese government launched a three-year national weight loss plan. After watching a new interview, I felt that there were some popular science information points: Brain hunger and emotional hunger are the most common: Brain hunger is mainly caused by the stomach being stretched for a long time, such as when children and the elderly always encourage them to eat more; Emotional hunger is more related to psychological stress, and eating can alleviate emotions. There are three common misconceptions: attributing obesity to poor willpower; Only by eating less can one lose weight; Pursuing excessive thinness. When parents accompany their children to seek medical treatment, they may also criticize them for being lazy, inactive, and having day and night reversed. But for people with a BMI over 30, having an extra 50 pounds on their body is like carrying 50 pounds of things every day, and they have no energy to exercise. The weight loss miracle drug GLP-1 is also not easy to maintain. A foreign study reported in June showed that among people who use weight loss drugs without strict medical supervision, the weight loss that can be maintained after three years is only 3% -5%. For a person weighing 200 pounds, they may lose 6-7 pounds or even rebound. Many people use unscientific weight loss methods, such as excessive dieting, which can lead to two problems: firstly, muscle loss is greater than fat loss. The ratio of fat to muscle loss for healthy weight loss should be 3:1, and incorrect methods can result in even more muscle loss. Secondly, during the rebound, almost all of the newly gained weight is fat. If you are not a fitness enthusiast, it is difficult to replenish muscles through regular exercise, which can lead to "weight loss and gain". For example, the initial body size of 160 pounds is okay, but after rebounding to 160 pounds, it looks like you will gain a lot of weight. What is more serious is that fat will accumulate in the liver and pancreas, which should not be gone, after a short period of substantial weight loss, and induce steatohepatitis and diabetes, which means that the more you lose, the more ill you become.
