The secret to burning fat quickly after exercise is to supplement protein nutrition

The number of obese people in Taiwan is increasing year by year. According to data, in 2012, the obesity rate among adult males, 1/3 among females, and 1/4 among children were overweight or obese. Therefore, weight loss has become a major challenge. Nutritionists say that relying on exercise to lose weight is not enough. It is necessary to supplement nutrition properly within 30-60 minutes after exercise to increase muscle mass, improve basal metabolism, and achieve the effect of burning fat.

Obesity has a huge impact on physical health. According to a survey on "Chinese people's concept of weight loss and exercise" conducted by Post Market Research, more than 74% of respondents are not satisfied with their current weight, more than 60% of respondents believe that they are overweight, and 56% of respondents have had weight loss experience. Although "exercise" is the first choice for weight loss methods, only 46% of respondents maintain a weekly exercise habit.

Supplementing protein after exercise can burn fat

In order to combat obesity and overweight, in addition to continuing to promote exercise, dietary control after exercise is also an important factor that cannot be ignored. Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that according to the nutrition monograph of the American College of Sports Medicine, supplementing with a 4:1 carbohydrate:protein ratio after exercise can quickly and effectively replenish the glycogen consumed during exercise. These calories will not be stored as fat, but will be used to repair lost energy and tissues, maintaining strong physical fitness and strength.

If you can immediately replenish nutritional supplements with a carbohydrate to protein ratio of 4:1 within 30-60 minutes after exercise, it will help restore nutrients lost by muscles, increase muscle mass, improve basal metabolism and thus achieve fat burning, which will have a good effect.

Nutritional supplementation is needed after moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise

The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Dietetic Association have publicly affirmed the importance of "post-exercise nutritional supplementation", especially after moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise, when the body is in great need of a source of energy recovery and muscle repair. More than 50% of the people think that they can just replenish some low-calorie fruits and vegetables, or drink sports drinks after exercise. However, suppressing hunger not only prevents the worn-out muscles from replenishing lost nutrients, but also leads to a decrease in enthusiasm for exercise and an inability to maintain good exercise habits.

Three key points of nutritional supplementation after exercise:

1.Replenish the water and electrolytes lost through sweating.

2. Replenish the glycogen consumed during exercise.

3. Supplement protein to repair injured muscles and tissues.

If it is not possible to consume a certain ratio of carbohydrates and protein foods in a short period of time, sports nutrition supplements are also an option. Currently, there is a series of balanced nutrition aids for post-exercise. The main ingredients include hydrolyzed whey protein and amino acids. They provide balanced protein and add polyamino acids and complex cellulose to repair muscle energy after exercise and fitness, maintaining healthy, balanced and firm muscle lines.

[Nutritionist's Tips]:

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that the best way to reduce obesity is to prevent it from occurring. Except for those who have reached the point where they need weight loss surgery, for the general public who still have a healthy body shape, maintaining regular exercise habits and the correct concept of healthy eating after exercise is the fundamental solution.
