Skinny people don’t need to lose weight? The puff tribe has too much body fat

When weighing themselves, some people congratulate themselves that they meet the standards and feel complacent. In fact, don't be happy too soon, because people with normal weight may have "hidden obesity" or even be "puff tribe" with high body fat without knowing it. Therefore, in addition to weight, thin people should also pay attention to body fat. As long as body fat exceeds 30%, it is considered mild obesity. Therefore, weight loss is not exclusive to obese people. If thin people have too high body fat, they also need to lose weight for health.

An excessively high body fat percentage is the main cause of various chronic diseases. It not only affects health and brings about the three high crises, but may also lead to "aging diseases."

It is more common for thin women to have high body fat than men

There are more and more thin people like this who are "inconsistent on the inside and outside". If their eating habits often consume high-calorie, high-fat, and high-salt foods, or they like to overeat and have no restraints, and they eat very few fruits and vegetables and lack exercise, hidden fat will accumulate in the body over time, and even if they are thin, their body fat will still be too high. According to clinical findings, it is more common for thin women to have high body fat than men. Although they have a normal weight and a slim figure, their body fat is actually quite alarming.

Excessive body fat percentage is the main cause of various chronic diseases. It not only affects health and brings about the three high crises, but may also lead to "aging diseases". According to surveys, excessive body fat (male body fat percentage greater than 25%, female body fat percentage greater than 30%) is 1 to 5 times that of the average person. These dangerous diseases include: gout, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc., so they should not be taken lightly!

Excessive visceral fat poses three high risks

In addition to body fat percentage, the codes in the body related to weight loss also include visceral fat. The so-called visceral fat refers to the amount of fat stored around the internal organs. Its function is to protect the internal organs from damage due to collision. Moderate visceral fat is necessary, but too much visceral fat will also increase the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.

To lose weight, you not only need to control your diet and maintain regular exercise, but you can also consult a professional doctor and use auxiliary weight loss drugs.

The key to healthy weight loss is not only to control body fat percentage, but also to pay attention to visceral fat and prevent the risks of both. The best way is to avoid a high-calorie, high-fat, overly salty and carbohydrate-heavy diet, and instead eat more vegetables, dairy products, beans, seaweed, fish and other healthy foods, give up the bad habit of eating late-night snacks, and maintain regular exercise, taking a multi-pronged approach.

Effective weight loss consultation with professional physicians

In addition, if office workers often eat out and have no time to pay attention to a balanced diet and maintain a regular exercise habit, people who are over 18 years old and have a BMI greater than 25, or people with visceral obesity, can also be diagnosed by a bariatric physician and use weight loss drugs approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as "effective auxiliary weight loss" to effectively reduce body fat. After that, a low-calorie, low-fat diet and moderate aerobic exercise can be combined to make weight loss meet the needs of physical health and more effectively see the effect of controlling weight and body shape.

How do you know if you have too much visceral fat? Currently, more sophisticated body composition analysis instruments can be used to detect that if a woman's visceral fat weight is greater than 2 kg and her waist circumference is greater than 80 cm, or a man's visceral fat is greater than 3 kg and his waist circumference is greater than 90 cm, it means that they have visceral obesity. It is recommended to go to a medical institution for further abdominal ultrasound examination to understand whether they already have fatty liver problems and avoid worsening of the problem, which may lead to liver inflammation or even cirrhosis, which is harmful to their health.

Among the "auxiliary weight loss" drugs currently approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, one of the oil-cut capsules contains the weight loss ingredient Orlistat, which is approved for use by the US FDA. It is an inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipase. According to clinical research, it is estimated that taking Orlistat 60mg three times a day can prevent about 25% of dietary fat from being absorbed. It is recommended that the course of treatment should not exceed 6 months. If the weight has not been reduced after taking it for 3 months, you must consult a doctor or pharmacist. Even after discontinuation, you should still continue to pay attention to controlling your diet and maintaining exercise.
