Not wanting to exercise and trying to lose weight through dieting means giving up a lot of delicious food. Of course, not satisfying your taste buds is not the key point; the main issue is:The weight lost through dieting is actually just sugar and water from your body; not much fat is lost.Eating normally, your body willconsume 1500-2000 calories of energy daily. If you don't eat, your basal metabolic rate will decrease, and the food that should have been converted into energy will turn into fat, causing you to gain more weight!
Dieting to lose weight is equivalent to slow suicide. While you are smug about the weight loss results from dieting, have you considered how your body feels? Let's follow a series of comics tosee how terrifying dieting to lose weight can be!
In the first6 hours of not eating, your body willbreak down glycogen in the liver and musclesto supply energy to the body. About25%of the glycogen will directly supply the brain with all the energy it needs for its activities. The rest is transported by the blood to the muscles and various organs.
Once the glycogen stored in your body isinsufficient, the brain will feel threatenedand send out signals like "I'm hungry, I want to eat something delicious." Ifyou still don't eat, you will become irritable and angry.
When glycogen can no longer support your body's functions, your body will accelerate the breakdown of fat anduse fatty acids for energy.
But fatty acids are not the energy source the brain needs, and since the complete oxidation of fatty acids requires the participation of sugar, in the absence of sugar, the body can only convert fatty acids into ketone bodies through "ketogenesis" to supply energy to the brain. However, at most 75% of the brain's energy can come from ketone bodies, and the remaining 25% still needs sugar.The lack of sugar will cause brain function to be impaired.At this stage, youare very likely to develop anorexia and a series of metabolic disorders.
When fat consumption reaches a certain level, about72 hours of not eating, your body will start breaking down the protein in your musclesto produce glucose through gluconeogenesis.
Your muscle mass will gradually decrease, and your once fit body will become emaciated.
1-2 weeks later, due to the lack of vitamins and minerals, yourimmune function will decline, and your heart function will also be impaired. To survive, your body will further break down any tissue it can. Ultimately—will it be heaven or hell?
That scene is too beautiful to look at. Are you scared? Do you still want to continue dieting?
Do you remember what Brother Cat said? To lose weight scientifically, you can't skip exercise, and you definitely can't skip delicious food!
