Lose weight without hibernation! Secret weapon: Vitamin B supplementation

There is no holiday for weight loss, especially winter is the best time to lose weight! Doctors pointed out that this is mainly because the temperature is low in winter and the body's metabolism increases. If combined with a proper diet and fat-burning aerobic exercise, the weight loss effect will be better. It is recommended to develop a "weight management" habit on a daily basis, drink plenty of water and supplement B vitamins to prevent weight loss from hibernation.

Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Prevention and Treatment Education Association and a weight loss specialist, pointed out that basically, it is easier to lose weight in winter than in summer. The main reason is that in winter, the body consumes more calories than in summer. From the perspective of weight loss, increased calorie consumption will of course help with weight loss. Especially when the weather is cold, it will increase the body's metabolism and assist in weight loss.

Burn fat and increase basal metabolism

In addition, muscles are the main place where the human body consumes calories. Exercise can help metabolism, increase the basal metabolic rate, and make people less likely to gain weight. In particular, aerobic exercise can allow the body's qi and blood to circulate fully, bringing oxygen to all parts of the body, greatly increasing the metabolic rate, effectively burning fat, and making the basal metabolism (BMR) more efficient.

Basically, it is safe for adult men and women to lose 1 to 2 kilograms in a week and 4 to 8 kilograms in a month. Exceeding this limit will affect human health. When it comes to "weight management", the goal should be set at "being healthy" rather than "becoming lighter"; never fight alone, as peer pressure and strong ambition are important driving forces for weight loss.

The weather is chilly in winter, and timely supplementation of B vitamins can assist in weight loss.

Dr. Liu Bowen emphasized that the two main principles of weight loss are to reduce intake and increase consumption, and taking more vitamins is extremely helpful for weight loss. Because obesity is a state of metabolic imbalance, and B vitamins are important nutrients that affect the body's metabolism, insufficient intake of B vitamins can indeed lead to obesity.

Vitamin B complex low in calories

In fact, vitamins themselves do not contain calories, and some can help metabolize calories. For example, B1, B2, B6 and B12 in the B vitamins can promote the metabolism of fat, protein and carbohydrates, and have the benefits of burning fat and avoiding fat accumulation.

In addition, vitamin B complex has the advantages of low calories and a variety of different vitamins. In particular, rice is rich in starch. Obese people often skip meals or reduce the amount of rice they eat during the weight loss process. Therefore, they might as well use B vitamins to replace the lack of starch, which can not only give them a sense of fullness but also help them lose weight. For example, there is "brewer's yeast" in the market, which is also popular among people who want to lose weight because it contains B vitamins.

For those who exercise to lose weight, since they will sweat a lot and lose water-soluble vitamins C and B group, they should increase their supplementation to avoid nutritional imbalance. In addition, in order to avoid the harm of free radicals produced during exercise to the human body, it is best to supplement more vitamins E, C and beta-carotene.

【Health Tips】:

Vitamin B group helps burn fat and sugar, and can convert heat into carbon dioxide and exhale it out of the body. If the energy metabolism is abnormal, the pH value of the blood will become low, becoming acidic, and thus affecting the health of other organs. Therefore, during the weight loss process, you must supplement with an appropriate amount of vitamin B group to improve your body's metabolism.
