What is the reason why weight increases instead of losing weight due to exercise?

　　The biggest worry for girls is that they have exercised for so long but have not lost any weight. What is even more annoying is that they have gained weight instead. So why is this? Most people think that when losing weight, the most important thing is to lose weight. If the weight does not decrease, then the weight loss is a failure? This view is recognized by most people who want to lose weight, but there is a big problem with it.

　　Reasons why you can’t lose weight

　　If you only focus on weight loss and not on fat loss, then it doesn't make much sense from a weight loss perspective. I think everyone has never seriously thought about the parts that make up body weight. The parts that make up body weight include water, bones, muscles, muscles, blood, lymph fluid, etc.

　　So which part do you want to reduce?

　　After knowing these basic principles, we can understand that what we want to lose is fat. Therefore, weight loss and weight loss are not the only criteria for losing weight.

　　Excess fat will not only bring disease , will also affect the body shape. Therefore, reducing the body fat rate to a healthy range is the true essence of weight loss. If you pursue weight loss without lowering the body fat rate, you will endanger your health, reduce your metabolic rate, and seriously accelerate aging. This is contrary to your initial weight loss goal.

　　But how long does it take to lose one pound of fat?

　　Fat loss is different from weight loss and muscle loss, and the speed is also different. If you want to lose one pound of fat, you must consume about 4,500 kcal. Even if you eat nothing for a day, consume zero calories, and then continue your normal life, you can consume about 1,800 kcal in a day. In other words, to lose one pound of fat, you need to eat nothing for about two days. This ratio does not include the decrease in metabolic rate caused by dieting.

　　How long does it take to lose one pound of fat if you increase the amount of exercise?

　　Exercise mainly plays the role of consuming calories and oxidizing fat in weight loss. During exercise, the energy sources consumed by the body are mainly three major nutrients, carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Protein has relatively few functions. How many calories are consumed in an hour cannot be generalized. The calories consumed by different exercises are affected by the individual's metabolic rate, and there are fundamental differences in the calories consumed per hour. According to normal adults, swimming can consume about 1,000 calories in one hour, which means that about 100g of fat can be consumed in one hour.

　　Another reason is that it has entered a plateau period

　　It is very common for weight loss to stagnate or gain weight during the plateau period. The so-called plateau period means that your weight loss has entered a bottleneck period, and your weight no longer decreases, and even has a tendency to rebound. This is also one of the reasons why exercise weight does not decrease but increases.

　　However, generally speaking, after entering the plateau period, if you do not change your previous exercise methods and diet, it will be difficult to lose weight. Some people start to want to give up when they see that the weight of the plateau period has not dropped, so it is easy to rebound.（99healthy net( www.99.com.cn ) Special article, please indicate the source if you need to reprint it. )
