In shopping malls, there is a wide range of health products or medicines that claim to have a weight-reducing effect, as if you can easily get rid of your flab by buying a bottle. And at night when you get home, the TV program experts will tell viewers that the so-called "healthy fat" is just self-deception, no real health is coexisting with obesity. So, many people are determined to lose weight, and begin to try all kinds of methods: do not eat dinner, refuse to staple food, and desperately exercise ......
However, a month has passed, and the body does not seem to lose much meat. Whenever this happens, frustration in the heart will arise, and begin to doubt their willpower, and even produce deep anxiety and depression about the figure. As a result, some people choose to give up, thinking that it is too difficult to lose weight and stop trying to deliberately control their diet or exercise. However, after a month passes, the weight is heavier than before, and the feeling of loss and self-doubt is even more unbearable. It's as if you've fallen into an uncontrollable circle, struggling with your weight every day, but never finding an effective solution. At this moment, let's temporarily put down the anxiety and obsession, to explore the truth hidden behind the thin body. Why is the road to slimming so difficult? It's not just your fault.
Obesity, this seemingly simple problem, actually hides an intricate network of relationships.
Do not think that you eat more than one bite will be fat, fat is not just how much calorie intake you lead to, there are especially many other reasons for obesity. Even because you are in a bad mood, may make you fat. Moreover, everyone's physique is different body shape and weight are also considered to be a good decision at birth. There may be a lot of people who have already found out that when feeling a lot of pressure at a certain time, or when you are in a bad mood you especially want to eat, unconsciously looking for the comfort of food, thus falling into a vicious cycle. Not to mention, more and more high-calorie, processed and complicated foods are now appearing on the daily table, allowing us to enjoy delicious flavours while consuming an excessive amount of calories and additives.
The hunger gene, that obesity gene as we call it, is like a secret code hidden in everyone's body, everyone has it, but not everyone's is the same. For those lucky people, their obesity gene has not mutated, their diet is more like a natural physiological need, that is, usually we always have the kind of people around, who eat a full meal and will not eat a bite more people. Even if there is delicious food in front of them, their brain will not send out the "eat more" craving signal. However, for those unfortunate people, their obesity genes have mutated. Food is no longer just for satiety, but more of a psychological comfort. As a result, even though they are already full, they still feel like they can eat more, and even between meals, they are always looking for a snack to satisfy their cravings. As a result, those who carry one or both of the risk alleles tend to weigh 1.2 kg or even 3 kg more than those who do not have the genetic variant.
Maybe knowing this will make some people who have not been able to lose weight feel frustrated, it turns out that the figure has been determined by genes. But don't be discouraged, as long as you want to lose weight, genes can't stop your determination. Just hope that this article can make you no longer fall into the self-blame situation, more tolerant of yourself, not only called beautiful, how about trying to find the flash point in your own body. Thick arms make you more powerful, strong calves make you good at sports activities, and fat helps you withstand the cold, whether fat or thin, their own body is unique.
