Jolin's experience in slimming down: reducing body fat to truly lose weight

Jolin Tsai, who has transformed from baby fat in her teenage years to the sexy queen today, has published a book to share her own weight loss story. In the book, Jolin mentioned that she is not only influenced by the numbers on the scale, but will even burst into tears immediately if she accidentally eats something that she has listed as taboo. At that time, she lost so much weight that she suffered from stomach pain, anemia, skin allergies, and inexplicable urge to cry. The unhealthy way of losing weight had harmed her body, but she still felt that her figure was not perfect enough.

Dr. Hsu Shun-chang said that successful weight loss must first see whether fat has been lost. Otherwise, even if the body weight has dropped, but the fat that should be lost has not been felt, this means that this method is not a good one. Because the key part is not lost, only the non-fat part may be lost. In other words, what is lost is not the fat itself, but may be temporary dehydration, or the weight of food residues discharged from the stomach and intestines. The worst thing is that a very low-calorie diet causes a decrease in muscle tissue and leads to weight loss.

Losing body fat is the real way to lose weight

A decrease in weight does not mean that fat has been lost, nor does it mean that weight loss has been successful! Losing body fat is the real way to lose weight! What is the correct way to lose fat? It must be done in a high-consumption manner, among which aerobic exercise is more effective.

Fat loss must also be accompanied by diet control, especially sugar intake must not be out of control. Once consumed in excess, it will affect the changes in insulin in the body, and in turn affect the activation and consumption of the fat layer in the waist and abdomen, making the waist and abdomen become thicker. This is one of the reasons why patients with type 2 diabetes generally have thicker waists and abdomens. According to the recommendations of the National Health Administration, women's waist circumference should be kept within 80 cm and total body fat below 30%, which is more in line with a healthy pattern. Women should work towards this goal.

How can I lose more body fat? Dr. Xu Shunchang said that the key lies in the correct concept of weight loss and a persistent attitude.

*Remember these 4 key points to reduce body fat*

1. Control the quality and quantity of appropriate calories and a balanced diet, which can often keep the body in an excellent state of vitality, especially the functioning of physiological organs and energy-consuming tissues. Regarding diet, you can consult a professional nutritionist to avoid only calorie control without a balanced diet.

2. Insufficient sleep time or poor quality sleep is clearly related to obesity because it affects normal endocrine function, leading to low metabolism and increased appetite. Therefore, only with good sleep can you have abundant energy, and the physiological system and metabolic capacity will be in the best condition.

3. Make exercise a habit. Some studies (Kraemer) show that if diet control is combined with aerobic exercise, 69% of the weight lost is fat; if diet control is combined with aerobic exercise, 78% of the weight lost is fat; if diet control is combined with aerobic exercise and weight training, 97% of the weight lost is fat. This shows that exercise plays an important role.

4. Make good use of supplements . In the case of lack of exercise or difficulty controlling diet, you can increase the proportion of body fat consumption through the help of prescriptions and food prescribed by professional doctors.

【Doctor's Tips】:

Dr. Xu Shunchang reminds us that if you want to lose weight successfully, you need to pay attention to whether the calories you consume and the calories you burn are in a "negative balance" every day. The formula is: Heat balance = calories consumed - calories expended. "Negative balance" means that the calorie intake is not enough for the body's needs, and the body tissues break down to supply calories, which can lead to weight loss.

There is no weight loss diet, prescription or treatment that is perfect for everyone, so before losing weight, it is best to find a professional physician nutritionist to help you find the most suitable method for yourself, so that you can lose the most fat in the process of weight loss, and lose the right parts of your body smoothly. This is successful and effective weight loss, and it is also the most helpful for your health.
