The core of losing weight is whether it should be achieved through exercise or by starving oneself?

 

The core of weight loss is mainly “starvation”

Why do you say that, listen to me in detail

Whether we walk, talk, think about problems, or sleep, it can be said that we consume energy all the time.

Where does this energy come from?

Everyone will definitely say that it is produced from three major energy substances – sugar, protein and fat.

These substances are metabolized in the human body and decomposed through oxidation, releasing energy stored in ATP, which is used to support various activities of the human body and maintain body temperature.

• 4 kcal of energy can be released per gram of sugar completely oxidized
• Complete oxidation of protein also releases 4 kcal of energy
• Each gram of lipid is completely oxidized to release 9 kcal of energy

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the human body

 

It seems that fat has a relatively high energy supply, but the main source of energy for the human body is sugar.

Sugar is a very clean energy source that plants convert carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis.

In nature, sugar can be described as the most widely distributed, and the food eaten daily basically contains sugar, common sugars include glucose, sucrose, fructose, lactose, starch, and often supplemented prebiotics are actually a type of sugar.

Some of these sugars are digested and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and are metabolized by the liver, and finally appear in the form of blood sugar, which is then transported to the body’s tissue cells for metabolism.

However, because people nowadays usually focus on refined sugar and starch, which leads to blood sugar rising too quickly, and the ability of cells to store sugar is limited, which has to store excess sugar in other forms, and fat is the best way.

Therefore, many people who often eat refined carbohydrates and refined sugar will gradually become fat.

How would you feel if you ate a lot of food regularly and suddenly reduced or replaced the food you eat with foods you don’t like? – Is it hunger?

Protein can be used as a source of energy for the human body, but it is relatively rare and precious, very powerful, and of course it is mainly used to synthesize human tissues.

Although lipids are the most efficient nutrients, the human body usually uses fat less for energy, and mostly uses fat when starving or exercising continuously.

So

If you want to burn fat on your body, you mainly rely on exercise and “hunger”

Exercise to lose weight only increases energy expenditure, but if carbohydrates cannot be controlled, burning while eating, metabolizing more carbohydrates than fat, which is also why exercise and weight loss must also choose low-carbon.

 

Diet weight loss is more durable and effective, but all diet and weight loss methods will involve “hunger”.

Here is an emphasis,

When I say hunger, I don’t mean hunger, but when I say hunger, it creates a state of very little sugar, so that cells are hungry and have to metabolize lipids and a small part of protein.

Therefore, ketogenic drinks, high-protein weight loss or DASH all advocate reducing carb intake (especially refined carbs).

Even if we eat a lot of vegetables, fats, and proteins, in fact, they only fill the stomach space and do not meet the needs of cells and brains, and they need to gradually adapt to this hunger state.

 

Therefore, at the beginning, many people still feel hungry, but as the cells and brain gradually adapt, this hunger will slowly be alleviated.
