HyunA's devilish weight loss diet involves eating only one meal a day. Zhao Hanying: It may hurt the stomach

South Korean sexy actress Hyuna, nicknamed "Little Wild Horse", recently revealed the secret of her hot body in an interview with "Beauty+" magazine. She revealed that during the devilish training period, she would only eat one meal a day, go to the gym more than 4 times a week, and take more than 2 hours of weight training courses each time. Domestic nutritionists said that reducing the three meals a day to just one meal, no matter how much or how little you eat in this meal, may lead to excessive secretion of gastric acid in the long run, gastroesophageal reflux and the formation of gastric ulcers. Especially if there is a lack of nutritional supplements before exercise, weight training will easily consume the glycogen in the muscles first, then the fat, and finally the protein, making you more tired.

HyunA only eats one meal a day and does regular weight training

HyunA said in an interview that during the period when she needed to lose weight rapidly, she strictly restricted herself to only one meal a day. However, she did not need to restrict her diet for that particularly precious meal. Instead, she could eat whatever she wanted, which somewhat comforted herself. In addition, I keep my body moving, going to the gym 4 to 5 times a week, and doing weight training courses for more than 2 hours each time. I am very strict with myself.

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that there are two possibilities of eating only one meal a day. One is that you eat too much, which will stretch the stomach and make it difficult to digest, and more stomach acid will be secreted. Another situation is eating very little, like a "bird stomach". When it is time to eat a regular meal, the secretion of gastric acid is still a lot. The excess gastric acid will corrode the gastric mucosa and cause stomach problems.

Eating too much or too little can cause excessive secretion of gastric acid

In fact, the human body needs to eat three meals a day normally. If you don't eat at the time, gastric acid will still be secreted during the original meal times. Overeating or eating too little will cause excessive secretion of gastric acid. The gastric acid has no food to digest, or there is excess gastric acid in the stomach after digesting the food. This is very scary and may gradually corrode the gastric mucosa and burn the esophageal mucosa and duodenum. Once the gastric mucosa is damaged, you may suffer from gastritis, gastric ulcer, and even esophageal cancer and gastric cancer.

Although HyunA did not specify what she ate for this meal, what is more worrying is that if the food intake lacks fruits and vegetables, it may cause intestinal problems such as constipation in the long run due to lack of dietary fiber. If there is a lack of vitamins and minerals, for example, an imbalance between magnesium and calcium, it will lead to sleep imbalance and osteoporosis. If there is insufficient fat intake, it may cause rough skin, hormonal imbalance, and even early menopause.

Weight training cannot build muscle without protein

More importantly, especially since HyunA often does weight training, if she does not eat before exercise, the lack of nutrients to metabolize will cause a decrease in metabolism. First, the glycogen in the muscles will be consumed, producing free radicals, and then the fat will be burned, and by the way, even the protein will be consumed. The most important thing during exercise is protein. If the protein is consumed, not only will the muscles not be built up, but it will also easily cause fatigue and even injury.

[Nutritionist reminder]:

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying suggests that to lose weight correctly, it is best to maintain small meals frequently, increase the proportion of fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to protein intake. Especially for people who do weight training, they should increase their protein intake more than the average person. You may wish to supplement with plant protein, unsweetened soy milk, boiled eggs, etc.
