Trying hard to lose weight but still getting fat 5. Have you fallen into the trap?

Nowadays, everyone pays more attention to health issues, and more and more people care about their body shape and weight management. I believe you have tried various weight loss methods in the market, whether it is food, lotion, or even thread embedding, liposuction, gastric resection, etc., just to lose weight!

However, I have met countless people in my clinic who came to me for "help" because they had tried at least 3 or 4 weight loss methods before, but they always gained weight again or could not lose weight at all. The following are the most common examples of weight loss failures that I have sorted out for reference:

Weight loss trap 1: Excessive exercise → excessive wear and tear on joints and bones, no actual fat burning!

Many people have the habit of exercising to lose weight, but in order to achieve more obvious results, they will increase their exercise volume. Exercising for more than 2 hours a day, or starting strenuous exercise without warming up, will not only hurt the joints and organs, but also will not really help burn stored fat. Especially recently, running and aerobics became popular, which caused a 30% increase in the number of patients visiting outpatient clinics for knee injuries, while their weight did not decrease. It was really not worth it.

Weight loss trap 2/Extreme dieting → The body lacks nutrients and cannot help burn fat!

When it comes to losing weight, everyone thinks of "eat less and exercise more". However, if you diet without a plan, for example, eating only one apple a day, not eating after noon, etc., you will lose weight quickly at first, but then you will find it increasingly difficult to lose weight and you will think you have reached a "plateau".

In fact, this is because during the dieting process, in order to stabilize and balance the body's operations, a large amount of nutrients and muscles will be consumed from the body, slowing down the weight loss process; on the other hand, extreme dieting will make the brain mistakenly believe that the body is injured, thereby reducing the body's functions and reducing the basal metabolic rate. Therefore, as you eat less and less, your body will work harder to store calories for later use. In fact, once you resume your diet or eat a little more, you will get fatter.

Weight loss trap 3/ Taking diet pills → only a slight weight loss, fat still occupies the body!

People who want to lose weight tend to be impatient and always want to use the shortest possible time and effective method to get fat out of their bodies, so "diet pills" have become the choice of many people.

The main function of the currently popular weight-loss pills is to inhibit the intestinal absorption of fat in food, and it does not target the fat stored in the body. It can cause diarrhea, oily stools, etc. to achieve "false" weight loss, but it does not reduce body fat. If consumed for a long time, it can also cause a deficiency of "fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K", hampering multiple physiological functions. In addition, this type of weight loss drug will still absorb carbohydrates, proteins, etc., so you will still gain weight as long as you continue to eat.

Slimming Trap 4/Liposuction → Liposuction does not mean weight loss, the weight regain rate is as high as 100%!

The amount of body fat in the human body is fixed at around the age of 20 and will not increase any further. Therefore, gaining weight or losing weight after the age of 20 is mostly related to the size of fat cells. If you rely on dieting or exercise to lose weight, you can reduce the size of fat cells and achieve the effect of weight loss.

However, liposuction, which has become popular recently, although claims to make fat cells disappear, does not mean weight loss. Because liposuction can only target local fat and cannot balance the entire body shape. If you continue to eat every day, your weight will continue to increase. The parts that have not had liposuction will be more likely to accumulate fat, while the parts that have had liposuction are less likely to gain weight, making your body proportions become very strange!

Weight loss trap 5/Thread acupuncture → It will temporarily suppress appetite, but appetite will increase after the acupuncture is stopped!

Acupuncture and thread embedding at acupoints can temporarily suppress appetite. Doctors usually prescribe some appetite suppressants or laxatives so that patients can see the effect of weight loss in a short period of time due to eating less and using laxatives.

However, if you use external forces to help suppress your appetite, once these external factors disappear, your appetite will suddenly increase, and you may even eat more out of a compensatory mentality, so your weight will of course go back up. I suggest that in addition to using external appetite suppressants, you also need to combine them with proper exercise and eating habits to truly lose weight without gaining weight back.
