Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: my friends around me are frantically weighing themselves and sighing at the numbers. But you know what? The numbers on the scale may be deceiving you. Those "overweight" weights that make you anxious are probably just a good-natured joke your body is playing on you.

1. The standard weight formula is actually an "interval value"

Many people think that the standard weight is a fixed number, but they are very wrong. The medical standard weight is a range, and a fluctuation of 3% is considered normal. For example, for a man with a height of 0cm, the standard weight range is 0kg ±0.0kg, which means that 0.0kg to 0.0kg is healthy. Stop staring at that "ideal number" and ask yourself for trouble.

Second, the weight difference between muscle and fat is huge

For the same weight of muscle and fat, the difference in volume is nearly 3 times. That's why two people of the same weight, one looks slim and tight, and the other looks bloated. If you're exercising regularly, it's likely that you're "overweight" because of muscle mass, which is something to be proud of.

3. Skeleton size affects weight standards

People with large skeletons are naturally heavier than those with smaller skeletons. Simple self-test method: wrap your thumb and middle finger around the other wrist, if the two fingers can't touch, it means that the skeleton is larger; Just touching is a medium skeleton; The overlap is a small skeleton. It is completely normal for people with large skeletons to gain weight appropriately.

Fourth, weight changes due to aging are normal

After the age of 20, the metabolism decreases by 0%-0% every decade, which is a natural law. It is neither realistic nor healthy for a 0-year-old person to have to maintain the weight of a 0-year-old. As we age, gaining weight can help maintain immunity.

5. Women's menstrual period can cause weight fluctuations

Many women don't know that the menstrual cycle causes normal fluctuations in weight by 3-0kg. Before menstruation, the body will naturally store water, which is not to gain weight, but physiological preparation. It is best to avoid this period of time when you weigh yourself, so as not to increase anxiety.

Tips for healthy weight management

1. You can weigh it once a week at a fixed time, and you don't have to worry about digital changes every day

2. It is more meaningful to pay attention to waist circumference and body fat percentage than to simply look at weight

3. Develop a regular exercise habit and don't have to deliberately pursue weight loss

4. Ensure adequate sleep, lack of sleep will lead to abnormal weight gain

5. Keep a happy mood, excessive stress will disrupt metabolism

Weight is only a reference indicator of health, not the whole story. Instead of being held hostage by numbers, pay more attention to how your body really feels – whether you have a lot of energy, how well you sleep, how well you can exercise. Remember, there are many criteria for health, and they are not something that can be easily defined by a scale. Let go of anxiety and enjoy the joy of food and exercise, this is the right attitude towards weight.
