Shut up and move your legs, why is this the biggest weight loss scam?

People often summarize the essence of weight loss into one sentence. This sentence is simple and crude, and has a direct impact on people's hearts. This sentence is: shut up and open your legs. Another version of it is "eat less, move more", which means the same thing. This can be regarded as political correctness in the weight loss world, and no one will question its correctness. ?"Keep your mouth shut" means you can't eat sugar, oil, snacks, high-calorie foods, etc. The total calories cannot exceed the standard and are less than what you actually consume every day. You can only eat the prescribed amount of calories every day. You can only eat eight cents full at each meal. ?

The purpose is to reduce caloric intake. ?"Spread your legs" means to exercise more, run, walk, ride a bicycle, do squats and push-ups. Don’t stay at home and don’t sit still for too long. ?In short, it is to increase energy consumption. ?I bet you or someone around you who is trying to lose weight must have practiced this sentence. ?

Most people maintain their weight but gain it back again or gain weight again after losing weight.

If this sentence was useful, there wouldn’t be so many fat people in the world. ?

This sentence seems very reasonable. Why has it failed to stop the advancement of the obese army? ?You are not a horse, nor do you live in a weight loss camp?

According to the energy balance theory, if energy consumption is greater than intake, you will lose weight. This is the source of the theory that "keeping your mouth shut and moving your legs" can help you lose weight. ?If you ask a horse to run fast but never give it enough forage, is it a fat horse or a skinny horse? ?Must be a skinny horse. ?

The law of conservation of energy fully applies to weight loss. If the intake is not enough, it will cause an energy deficit, and the insufficient part will be burned by fat, sugar or protein in the body, thus causing weight loss. ?

The horse was unable to obtain abundant food on its own and was kept in check by its owner. It couldn't choose whether to run or not, it had to move its legs. The horse learned to "control its mouth and move its legs" and "eat less and move more", so it lost weight. ?But you are not a horse. ? Almost all the contestants in the fat camp can lose a lot of weight. Once they return to their original lives, the weight of the losers will almost rebound, even exceeding the weight before losing weight. ?

Because life is not a weight loss camp. ? If you eat less, you won’t move more?

“Eat less and move more” cannot help us lose weight because it has to fight against the body’s powerful instincts. ?

Flier, dean of Harvard Medical School, once published an article in the "Scientific American" magazine titled "What Fuels Fat", explaining the relationship between appetite and energy expenditure. Relationship:?

When an animal's diet is suddenly restricted, the animal will tend to reduce its activity and slow down the energy use in its cells to reduce its energy consumption and maintain a certain weight. At the same time, its hunger will also increase, so once the diet control ends, it will eat more food than before the restriction until it returns to its original weight. ?

The result is that as soon as you create an energy gap, it is immediately filled. You keep down-regulating your intake, and it keeps down-regulating your consumption. Eventually, you are defeated by the repeated attacks of your powerful appetite, and you return to your so-called normal diet and energy intake. But the body's energy consumption does not increase simultaneously, and your metabolic rate does not increase to the corresponding level (why, I will talk about it later). In this way, your intake will inevitably exceed your consumption, and you will rebound sadly. ?

Keep your mouth shut and move your legs. This method may be effective in the short term, but your body will definitely try its best to prevent you from doing so. In the long run, you will almost certainly waste all your efforts and gain weight again. ?

Just keep your mouth open and move your legs, eat less and move more to lose weight - this is a complete lie to our bodies. Just like "If you work 24 hours a day, you will earn more than others", it seems reasonable, but in fact it is of no practical use because it is completely inoperable. If you want to lose weight successfully, don’t be misled by this sentence. ?
