2. 5 2 fasting method: within 7 days, choose two days to control energy intake to 1/4 of the daily amount, about 500 kcal for women, about 600 kcal for men, and eat normally for the other 5 days .

3. Time-limited fasting method: Choose 6 to 8 hours within a day as the time period to induce eating, and do not eat for the other 16 to 18 hours.

This light fasting model is simple to make and has obvious effects. At the same time, it does not affect the quality of food and life, so it is loved by many young people. Some people become obese due to factors such as unhealthy diet, irregular work and rest, smoking, drinking, and high stress. Appropriate light fasting can help them.

3. There are also some people with special diseases who are not suitable for fasting. If you want to fast, you must ask a doctor, otherwise the consequences will be more serious. Light fasting is not trustworthy, and the possible consequences of light fasting

1. During light fasting, because only a small amount of food is taken in, there is nothing in the stomach to digest for a lot of time, and the stomach can only be ground empty. , if gastric acid increases, it will easily affect gastrointestinal function. If this happens for a long time, gastrointestinal diseases may occur.

2. Light fasting may aggravate constipation, because people who have not eaten for a long time have poor gastrointestinal peristalsis function and are very prone to constipation.

3. If you fast for a long time, it is likely to cause malnutrition. People are very prone to dizziness, especially people with hypoglycemia. The situation is more serious.

4. Women should never try to fast during their period, because during this period, a lot of iron will be lost from the body. If it is not replenished in time, the body will get worse and worse.

5. During light fasting, it is very easy to cause emotional problems, such as irritability, insomnia, low work and study efficiency, etc.

6. Light fasting may also cause eating disorders, because frequent hunger and full meals greatly affect the daily eating pattern, and can easily lead people to extremes, such as anorexia or overeating.

7. Light fasting is easy to regain weight, because light fasting often leads to more muscle loss, and the decrease in muscle content will affect the body's basal metabolic rate.

The basal metabolic rate refers to the amount of calories your body consumes in order to maintain normal functions when you are lying down. When you fast, your basal metabolism will decrease. Even if you are lying down, your basal metabolic rate will decrease. Your body consumes far fewer calories than before, so you are more likely to gain weight. To the end:

Don’t try the ancient Chinese method of fasting or the American “hunger therapy” easily. If you want to lose weight, you just have to control your mouth, open your legs, and lose weight just through dieting. The gain outweighs the loss, and illness may occur.

Regular diet, scientific diet, eat three normal meals a day, but avoid high-fat and high-energy foods, otherwise no matter how much exercise you do, it will have no effect. And exercise must be scientific. You can't just focus on losing weight, constantly increase the amount of exercise, keep the body overloaded, and eventually get sick or injured.

In fact, many people fail to lose weight because they are too greedy and have no choice. China is a country of delicious food, and China is the country that spends the most time on eating in the world.
