Losing weight actually reduced fatty liver. For a while, many netizens expressed their puzzlement: “How can you still starve for fatty liver? Don’t you say that you can get fatty liver by eating too much?”< /p>

Today’s hot discussion, let’s talk about this news today.

The liver is an important organ for the body to metabolize fat. When fat metabolism is abnormal, fat gradually accumulates in liver cells. This disease caused by excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells due to various reasons is called fatty liver.

Fatty liver mainly includes alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver. The former is caused by long-term heavy drinking, which damages liver function, causes fat metabolism disorder, and accumulates fat in the liver. Fatty liver should belong to the latter.

Diet to lose weight, which means eating very little or no food. “If you don’t eat so much fat, why does it lead to the accumulation of fat in liver cells?”

This is because dieting to lose weight results in the body not getting enough nutrients, which may cause a series of metabolic problems.

For the liver, an important fat metabolism factory, if the body does not have enough protein intake, fat metabolism will also have problems.

The liver does not have enough apolipoproteins to transport fat out, so more fat accumulates in the liver cells, and the more and more fat accumulates, it becomes fatty liver.

In addition, fatigue, dizziness, hair loss, constipation, irregular menstruation… These are all health problems that may be brought about by dieting and losing weight.

Some people may still be puzzled: “Didn’t you say that losing weight can reduce fatty liver?”

For people who already have fatty liver, losing weight can be effective in reversing fatty liver, but it should not be a way to over-diet. People who are not overweight but just want to “be thinner and more beautiful” can’t choose to go on a diet to “lose weight”.

A diet to lose weight may not lose fat, but important muscle.

Many people who diet to lose weight will find that the weight loss is particularly obvious, and they will lose several pounds in a few days. In fact, when you over-diet to lose weight, the first body components to lose are water and muscle. If there is less muscle, the basal metabolic rate will decrease, and weight loss will become more and more difficult.

And dieting is the most test of willpower, once the string can’t be stretched, it may fall into the greater pain of overeating and gaining weight.

The correct way to lose weight should be “control diet + moderate exercise”.

If you used to stop eating when you were 12 percent full, try stopping when you are 10, or even 7 or 8 percent full, instead of starving yourself by not eating at all. At the same time, adjust the diet structure and eat more nutrient-rich foods (high protein, high dietary fiber, low fat and low sugar), so that the body can take in enough nutrients.

Finally, I want to say that losing weight should be a gradual process of getting better. It is to make “good” “better”, rather than denying the current state and constantly improving the body. Make harsh demands and lose the ability to feel good.

Accept yourself correctly, obey your heart, and feel the beautiful changes in your body little by little.

You are beautiful!
