Rapid weight loss is not a good thing. There are 4 major side effects.

"Becoming fat" is the result of bad eating habits accumulated over time, but most people demand quick results when it comes to "weight loss". These people who want to lose weight often do not have a long-term weight loss plan. Fasting or a biased diet may indeed help some people lose weight in a short period of time, but it may also harm their health and produce four major sequelae.

Most people demand that they lose weight quickly. Such people often do not have a long-term weight loss plan. Through fasting or improper diet, they may harm their health and develop four major sequelae.

Xu Huiyu, director of the nutrition group of the Tung Foundation, said that a balanced diet is a basic element to maintaining a person's health. Even if you want to lose weight, you should still control the total calorie intake under the premise of balance. It is normal to lose 0.5 to 1 kg per week. If you maintain this weight loss step by step, it will take a long time to lose to the ideal weight, but you will be less likely to gain weight again. Relatively speaking, quick weight loss methods often have the following sequelae:

• Yo-yo syndrome: Quick weight loss methods are difficult to maintain for a long time, and often do not reduce fat but lose muscle. Therefore, once you stop losing weight, your weight will immediately return and you may even be fatter than before.

• Decreased metabolic rate: Increasing the metabolic rate is the only way to lose weight. However, an unbalanced diet can also affect the body's metabolic rate, which is not conducive to weight loss.

• Weakened immunity: Unhealthy weight loss methods can easily lead to back pain, irregular menstruation, and even colds.

• Organ dysfunction: Rapid weight loss often causes endocrine disorders and damages organ function. Some people who lose weight repeatedly often even have worse gastrointestinal conditions.

According to the results of the National Nutrition Survey, the Chinese people's carbohydrate intake is lower than the recommended amount, while their protein and fat intake exceeds the recommended amount. Xu Huiyu said that a healthy diet should use carbohydrates, that is, whole grains and root vegetables as the main source of calories, but many people who want to lose weight often give up this type of food first, which of course makes it difficult to lose weight successfully.

Therefore, when choosing food ingredients, people who want to lose weight should still eat whole grains and root vegetables as their main meals, paired with plenty of fruits and vegetables, a reasonable amount of protein, controlled fat, and a more active lifestyle, in order to lose weight healthily.
