Tony Yang lost weight for the movie and "dehydrated" himself, forcing out six-pack abs! Doctor: Beware of muscle cramps and five major complications of ischemic shock

The TV series "Light the Night" has been well received by the audience recently. The actor Yang Youning, who plays a criminal policeman in the play, has been unraveling the case and looking for clues, which makes people look forward to who the murderer is. Tony Yang originally had a muscular body, but he lost 8 kilograms before filming the movie "The Untold Story" due to plot requirements. In order to make his muscle lines more obvious, he went through a very difficult "dehydration" process. Can dehydration really help you build six-pack abs? What should I pay attention to? Let’s hear what famous weight loss doctors have to say.

The male star lost weight for the film and went through an unforgettable and difficult "dehydration" process

Tony Yang once revealed on his personal Instagram that when he saw the stills from the movie "The Revenge", he remembered that he drank more than 5,000cc of water every day for a week. At night, he would suffer from muscle cramps due to electrolyte loss. Three days before the filming, he reduced his water intake to a minimum, drinking less than 300cc a day. It can be said that in order to make his muscle lines more obvious, he went through an unforgettable and difficult "dehydration" process.

Liu Boen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that if you want to use dehydration to quickly show six-pack abs, or even drink less than 300CC of water a day to achieve your weight loss goals, from a medical point of view, this "torture strategy" carries health risks and cannot achieve the effect of weight loss.

Short-term dehydration can lead to slight weight loss, followed by compensatory weight recovery

Because the water that a normal person needs to consume in a day is about 2500cc to 3000cc. If there is insufficient water, many important functions of the body will be affected, such as detoxification. Insufficient water will cause the loss of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium in the body. In severe cases, it will cause physiological crises such as acidosis and fever. Although short-term dehydration can cause a slight reduction in body weight, a compensatory water replenishment response will eventually occur, causing the body to regain weight.

Dr. Liu Boen said that if you want to have a healthy six-pack, you can do some gravity training exercises, such as weightlifting, shot put, push-ups, and pectoralis major chest expansion exercises.

The normal daily water requirement for a person is about 30cc of water for every kilogram of body weight, but in addition to sweating and unconscious evaporation from the body surface, in addition to the basic requirement, about 500cc of water is needed. In addition to replenishing the loss of electrolytes during fitness exercises, water also has the functions of lubricating joints, promoting metabolic rate, regulating body temperature and eliminating metabolic waste.

What role does water play in the process of losing weight through fitness exercise? How much water do you need every day to help lose weight? Liu Bowen, a famous weight loss doctor, said that during the weight loss process, the recommended water intake is generally body weight (kg) x 40 as the normal requirement. However, if it is a hot day or a more intense exercise mode, the water intake should be increased by 3% to 5%.

Beware of 5 major complications of long-term dehydration

What are the health risks of long-term dehydration? Liu Boen said that many people who want to lose weight suddenly think that they can achieve the goal of reducing weight by strictly limiting their water intake. In fact, not only can this not achieve the goal of weight loss, but it will also have some serious physiological side effects, including muscle cramps, ischemic shock, decreased blood oxygen, renal failure, and malignant fever.

If you want to develop six-pack muscles, what safe methods are recommended? Dr. Liu Boen said that if you want to have six-pack abs in a healthy way, you can do some gravity training exercises, such as weightlifting, shot put, push-ups, and pectoralis major chest expansion exercises, etc., and adopt appropriate training methods. Of course, in terms of diet, it is also recommended to consume more high-protein foods, which can also help muscle formation.
