Weight loss doctor: 168 intermittent fasting method has two blind spots

First of all, what are the characteristics of the 168 intermittent fasting method that is sought after by many people? And are there any hidden blind spots? The key point of the 168 intermittent fasting method is to emphasize that out of 24 hours a day, 16 hours are for fasting and the other 8 hours are for eating. However, Liu Boen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, pointed out that the 168-hour fasting diet has the following blind spots:

1. If the total calories for the whole day remain unchanged and need to be completed within 8 hours, the physiological functions may not be able to complete the functions of full digestion and absorption in this short time.

2. The average person's stomach empties in about 4 hours. Excluding 8 hours for sleep and rest, there are still 8 hours of fasting, which may increase gastric acid secretion and worsen hypoglycemia, causing blood sugar to drop, affecting normal physiological functions and affecting endocrine changes in the long run.

It should be noted that people who use 168 intermittent fasting for a long time may experience fatigue, lack of concentration, and anxiety if they do not take in enough nutrients the body needs.

Long-term intermittent fasting may cause fatigue, inability to concentrate, anxiety, etc.

Although the 168 fasting diet is a more feasible way for office workers to lose weight, it is not recommended from a medical point of view. After all, it is not a normal way to lose weight. It should be noted that people who use 168 intermittent fasting for a long time may experience fatigue, lack of concentration, and anxiety if they do not take in enough nutrients the body needs. Especially for those who are diabetics or have poor stomach function, it is not suitable to use the 168 intermittent fasting weight loss method for a long time.

When you first start doing 168 intermittent fasting, you may lose weight due to the novelty or the power of will. But after a period of time, you will consume a large amount of food, even excessive amounts of food, in a short period of time to achieve a feeling of fullness. Therefore, although the eating time is shorter, the total amount has increased, so that after a period of time, the weight is easily gained back.

The "777 chewing weight loss method" is popular in Japan, aiming to increase satiety

In addition, what is the "777 chewing weight loss method" popular in Japan? In fact, the implementation method is very simple. First, chew the food with the left teeth 7 times, then switch to the right teeth to chew 7 times, and finally use the less frequently used teeth to chew 7 times, and then swallow the food. This method mainly emphasizes slowing down the speed of eating so that the brain can more easily receive the "full" message, thereby increasing the sense of fullness and not consuming too many calories, thereby achieving the effect of controlling calories and losing weight.

The chewing process promotes the secretion of CCK enzyme, which has the physiological function of providing a sense of fullness.

The process of chewing promotes the secretion of CCK enzyme, which has the physiological function of satiety.

Is the "777 chewing weight loss method" effective for weight loss? However, Dr. Liu Pa'en said that the effect of slow eating is still related to the time difference between the peripheral stomach and the hypothalamic satiety center. General research shows that there is a delay time of about 30 minutes. Therefore, eating slowly can receive the signal of the fullness threshold earlier and stop eating. The process of chewing promotes the secretion of an enzyme called cholecystokinin (CCK). This CCK enzyme is a peptide hormone in the digestive system that can promote the digestion of fat and protein and has the physiological function of providing a sense of satiety. Moreover, the chewing action can also increase the production of many enzymes that can help break down fat and starch.

It is generally recommended that if you are chewing food of normal hardness, such as fish, chicken, etc., it is best to chew each bite 6 to 7 times. In addition, the food will produce a "physiological thermogen" during the chewing process, which can help the body produce heat and metabolize excess heat.

You can't lose weight by chewing alone, you can only succeed by grasping the golden rule of weight loss

However, Dr. Liu Pa'en reminds us that the calories consumed by chewing are still very limited, so it is impossible to lose weight successfully by chewing alone. The golden rule for weight loss is still a balanced diet and maintaining exercise. Only by taking in the nutrients you need every day through a balanced diet and burning off excess calories through exercise can you successfully lose weight and not gain weight again!
