Why don’t you eat a lot but don’t lose weight? Do you really have a fat physique?

Sister Bin, why can’t I lose weight after eating a lot? Do you really have a fat physique?

The so-called “don’t eat much” is really not necessarily in the eyes of our nutritionists. It is recommended to keep a three-day meal record, one of which should include weekends, and do not drop a nut during the record. , a drink, generally can always find the reason.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a “fat-prone constitution”, and increasing the basal metabolic rate is the basis of the “fat-prone constitution”.

What factors contribute to being “fat”?

1. Decreased basal metabolic rate

Age, gender, temperature, thyroid (hypothyroidism will gain weight), muscle mass are all factors that affect basal metabolic rate.

2. Intestinal flora

The type and quantity distribution of microorganisms in the intestinal flora may affect a person’s obesity. Long-term staying up late, high stress, and unhealthy diet will cause a large number of “fat” microorganisms to multiply, so long-term living habits are also affecting our internal environment.

Tips to improve basal metabolism

1. Increase muscle mass and increase physical activity

Including reasonable intake of high-quality protein (lean meat, aquatic products, eggs, soy products, milk) and regular exercise according to their own conditions.

2. The daily water intake should not be less than 1200ml

The body needs enough water to burn calories. We can drink some tea in moderation every day. Tea not only contains some antioxidants, but also helps metabolism.

3. Eat breakfast every day

Because the human body’s metabolic level is the strongest in the morning and gradually weakens in the evening, if you don’t eat breakfast, your metabolism will be in a sluggish state all day, and you will lose weight all day.

Nutritionist reminder

It is emphasized that no matter the level of basal metabolic rate, what really determines whether you gain weight or lose weight is the difference between intake and consumption.

Intake>Consumption = gain weight

Intake

So losing weight is actually a math problem. Calculate your intake and consumption, and you can control your weight.
