shock! BMI over 40 may shorten your life by 10 years! Are weight loss foods really effective?

Losing weight is very popular in summer. Girls don’t want to be “marshmallow girls” or “teddy bear girls”, so they try various weight loss methods and spend a lot of money to buy weight loss foods, but the results are limited. In particular, many foods on the market claim to have the ability to absorb oil, burn fat, suppress appetite, and promote metabolism, which attract many girls. Weight loss specialists say that weight loss cannot be achieved simply by eating a lot of weight loss foods, but calories are always better than nutrients. And follow the "75210" indicator!

There are as many as 13 types of obesity-related cancers. People with a BMI of more than 40 may live 10 years less.

The health hazards of obesity cannot be ignored. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), there are as many as 13 types of cancer related to obesity. In addition, studies have pointed out that if the body mass index (BMI) of severely obese people exceeds 30-35, they will live 3 years less, if it exceeds 35-40, they will live 5 years less, and even if it exceeds 40, they will live 10 years less.

Survey: 30% of women have used weight loss foods

To fight obesity, we must find the right method. However, we have observed that many women rush to buy foods that claim to help them lose weight. What are the results? Dr. Song Yanren, director of the Obesity Research Society of the Republic of China, said that a "Taiwanese Women's Weight Loss Food Myth Survey" was conducted on more than 1,000 women aged 25 to 45 across Taiwan and found that 30% (31.6%) of women have used weight loss foods, but more than 60% (62.6%) are "unsatisfied" with the results of their weight loss, believing that they have no weight loss effect. 50% even experienced symptoms of physical discomfort such as diarrhea, palpitations, insomnia, dry mouth, etc. after using weight loss foods more than once.

A 38-year-old Ms. Lu, who is 160cm tall and weighs nearly 80kg, said that she has been chubby since she was a child and has been working hard to lose weight since she was in high school. The average daily cost of her diet food is 200 to 300 yuan, which is even more than her three meals a day, and this has continued for 16 years. As a result, one time I bought a set of weight loss products, and after taking them I developed stomach pain, dizziness, palpitations, hand tremors, and almost fainted. As a result, I went to a weight loss clinic for help in recent years, and through the correct weight loss methods, I finally succeeded in getting rid of 20 kilograms of fat.

Dr. Hsiao Dun-ren, chairman of the Obesity Research Society of the Republic of China, said that people who are trying to lose weight cannot help but try foods that claim to help them lose weight, including the popular agar-agar, green tea extract, garcinia cambogia, tea extract, chitosan, etc. They often want to try them in the hope of success.

In fact, no matter which ingredient it is, it should be realistic, stand the test, and must be able to provide scientific evidence from human experiments to prove its effectiveness. If consumers purchase weight-loss foods on their own, they may end up gaining weight instead of losing it, or even experience side effects from excessive intake, so they must be careful. Dr. Xiao explained, "Weight loss foods are not completely unacceptable, but they can only be used as supplements in the weight loss process. It is recommended that when choosing weight loss foods, you should pay attention to whether they have three elements: "safety, effectiveness, and economy" data disclosed in human clinical trial reports, and at the same time pass the inspection:

1. Safety:

1. Confirm that the ingredients do not contain western medicine.

2. Confirm that plasticizers, heavy metals and pesticides are within the prescribed range.

3. Confirm through human trials whether any side effects occur during the trial.

(ii) Validity:

1. In the data of human clinical trials, the completion rate reached 80%.

2. Effective and successful weight loss is when you can lose an average of 0.5 to 1 kg per week and not gain weight again for 5 years.

(III) Economical:

1. Under a reasonable and healthy weight loss curve, the average weight loss is 0.5kg-1kg per week, and the average cost per kilogram is 2,500-3,000 yuan.
