Postpartum weight loss should pay attention to 4 major misunderstandings

Postpartum weight loss myth 1: Eat less during weight loss, so you have to choose the best food

This is not a smart move for a weight loss plan. Burning more calories than ingesting is the basic principle of weight loss. Therefore, low-calorie foods are the first choice in the diet. [[1) [1) is to "pick the best food" - those that taste good, are often fragrant, oily, sweet, and finely made, and they are all high-calorie.

Postpartum weight loss myth 2: "multiple meals" can lose weight

Eating smaller, more frequent meals can effectively control the amount of food we eat at each meal, so that the metabolism is relatively stable, but the premise is that the total daily calorie intake is fixed, and we just divide them from three meals into five meals. But if you only remember "multiple meals" and eat non-stop, at the end of the day, the amount of food is larger than the original three meals a day, and the results speak for themselves.

Postpartum weight loss myth 3: Sleep late and stay up late can lose weight

The argument that I am tired and thin is becoming more and more untenable. If you stay up late for a long time, you may eat a late-night snack, which will generally make you fatter. Why? Biologically speaking, humans are daytime animals, and at night, the various functions of the human body naturally enter a state of rest. Only insulin, which synthesizes fat, is secreted more at night. This means that eating the same thing is more likely to turn into fat at night and settle down. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has a health theory of "the unity of nature and man", that is, work hard when it is dawn, and rest well when it is dark.

Postpartum weight loss myth 4: Eat fine to nourish your face and slim down

Many people have the impression that eating fine is a sign of a high quality of life, and that they can eat "healthy and slim", but in fact this is not the case. Foods that are made too delicately have caused the loss of some health-friendly substances. Secondly, blindly eating fine grains, eggs and milk and other foods that are too delicate can easily lead to constipation, which puts pressure on metabolism and weight loss. Therefore, eating more fiber-rich foods can promote intestinal peristalsis, which is conducive to digestion and weight loss. Of course, we can peel apples because we are worried about pesticides, but apple peels are also a good thing to help get rid of toxins from the body.
