Super popular weight loss method: 3 cups of vegetable and fruit juice to burn fat and lose weight? Fear of high sugar intake, insufficient protein, soaring weight, and delayed menstruation

Drinking juice to lose weight has always been a favorite of weight loss enthusiasts! Coincidentally, American actress Adele also used the "sirtfoods" diet, which is very popular in Europe and the United States, to lose weight. In addition to controlling daily calorie intake, especially drinking 3 glasses of vegetable and fruit juice every day, including celery, red onion, blueberry, apple, citrus fruits, etc., to activate the body's deacetylase, it is said that this can promote metabolism, increase muscle, burn fat, and perform Pilates exercises at the same time to successfully lose weight.

"Slimming Diet" Drink 3 cups of fruit and vegetable juice every day to activate sirtuin

What is the "skinny fat diet"? According to media reports, the main thing is to control the calorie intake to 1000 calories per day in the first 3 days, and drink 3 cups of fruit and vegetable juice every day. The fruit and vegetable juice mainly consists of ingredients that can activate deacetylase, including: celery, red onion, blueberry, apple, citrus fruit, turmeric, soybean, buckwheat, kale, cauliflower vegetables, etc.

What’s so magical about these vegetable and fruit juice ingredients that attract so many female celebrities? It turns out that the ingredient that is said to activate sirtuin is not only found in fruits and vegetables. Harvard professor David Sinclair once pointed out that resveratrol in red wine and dark chocolate is an activator of sirtuin, and caffeine in coffee can also activate sirtuin.

Study: Deacetylase helps metabolism and plays a role in longevity

What is "sirtuin" and why do we need to activate sirtuin? Liu Boen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that deacetylase is a protein present in various organisms, but according to the latest issue of Nature, an international top journal, a multinational research team from the National Taiwan University Medical School has successfully discovered the mechanism of human aging and disease: this deacetylase plays an important role in metabolism and longevity mechanisms. In addition, this deacetylase is also involved in the role of aging and cell apoptosis.

The sweetness of fruits in Taiwan is relatively high, and you also need to be aware of the effects of excessive sugar intake, which can cause weight gain.

In addition, scientists have also pointed out that reducing calories can prolong the lifespan of animals. The mechanism is to activate the activity of deacetylase, which has the function of protecting cell structures, preventing cells from dying under excessive stress, and can regulate inflammatory responses, promote metabolism, and slow down the aging process. Another physiological function is to increase muscle mass and promote fat metabolism. Therefore, some people try to use this method as a tool for weight loss.

Doctor: Long-term intake of foods that activate deacetylase may lead to excessive sugar intake and insufficient protein.

Dr. Liu Boen said that when this method is used as a weight loss tool, it can theoretically promote metabolism and assist in fat burning. However, in order to increase the concentration of activated deacetylase, it may be necessary to consume a very large amount of vegetables or fruits, and the corresponding sugar content will also increase. It may even reduce protein intake, which will lead to a lack of essential amino acids in the human body and cause a hormonal imbalance in the body. In severe cases, it will also affect women's physiological cycle and cause phenomena such as late menstruation.

Harvard professor David Sinclair once conducted a study pointing out that resveratrol contained in red wine and dark chocolate is an activator of deacetylase, and caffeine contained in coffee can also activate deacetylase.

The chemical ATP in the muscles is converted into energy, which helps break down fat tissue

As for burning fat, it is a theoretical term. Everyone would imagine it as burning meat in a torch. In fact, the so-called fat burning means that fat passes through the action of mitochondria in the body and uses an energy source ATP that exists in the muscles. It is like a battery in the muscles and can immediately supply electricity to the muscles. When the chemical ATP in the muscles is converted into energy, it can then break down fat tissue. In other words, when the body uses "fat" to generate ATP batteries, it is equivalent to the body "burning fat"; therefore, it is not really possible to achieve the phenomenon of "burning fire" and burning fat by relying on a single ingredient. The generation of muscles also requires the participation of ATP to form muscle tissue.

Drink 3 glasses of juice a day, be aware that sugar intake may be too much and lead to weight gain

The "extreme weight loss diet" popular among female stars requires drinking 3 glasses of juice every day. This may be achievable in a short period of time, but it is not an easy task for office workers. Firstly, freshly squeezed juice will be oxidized after being left for a long time, which will destroy the vitamin C and some important ingredients in the juice. Secondly, vegetables must be carefully washed before consumption to avoid the worry of accidentally ingesting too much pesticide. In addition, everyone's physical constitution is different, and not everyone is suitable for eating large amounts of raw vegetables for a long time. In addition, the sweetness of fruits in Taiwan is relatively high, and you also need to be aware of the effects of excessive sugar intake, which can cause weight gain.

Vegetable and fruit juices are mainly composed of ingredients that can activate deacetylase, including: celery, red onions, blueberries, apples, citrus fruits, turmeric, soybeans, buckwheat, kale, cauliflower vegetables, etc.

[Notes from a weight loss doctor]:

Finally, when it comes to the principles of safe and effective weight loss methods, Dr. Liu Bowen reminds us that exercise and a balanced diet are still the only way to successfully lose weight. Generally, during the period of weight loss, the basal metabolic rate plus 30% of the calories from physiological activities (for example, a boy’s basal metabolic rate is about 1300 calories a day, plus 30% of the calories, about 390 calories, which is his total calories for the day).

The principle of exercise, according to the general intensity formula, is 180 minus age, and the resulting number is used as the standard for heart rate. Of course, if you can have a tailor-made exercise prescription, you can avoid the development of exercise resistance and the calorie consumption effect will be better. In short, a healthy and balanced diet, coupled with regular exercise patterns, is the important principle for healthy weight loss and preventing weight gain.
