5 misunderstandings about daily weight loss

There are many ways to lose weight, but there are often many misunderstandings in real life.

Myth 1: Eating spicy food can lose weight. This is a view held by many people. I think that eating spicy food is easy to sweat, and eating a little bit of it makes people feel full. Eating spicy food has a certain weight loss effect, but if it lasts for a long time, it will affect stomach function, and in severe cases, there is a risk of stomach pain and even stomach bleeding. In addition, eating too many irritating foods can also cause rough skin and acne, which outweighs the losses.

Myth 2: "Insulated" from fat. Fatty foods are resistant to digestion and hunger, and can reduce the intake of starchy foods and snacks after eating, which has a positive effect on weight loss. Some dieters use snacks to satisfy their hunger in order to control their food intake, resulting in unabated weight gain. In addition, corn oil and olive oil, which contain monounsaturated fatty acids, have the effect of lowering LDL, making them ideal edible oils for weight loss and bodybuilding. Therefore, consuming the right amount of fat not only does not affect the body shape, but also is beneficial to bodybuilding.

Myth 3: Drinking water will make your body fat. In fact, only insufficient water intake will cause the body to continuously accumulate water as compensation, and make it easier for the body to accumulate fat, leading to obesity. Insufficient water intake may also cause disorders in the body's metabolic function, resulting in more energy absorption and less release. Therefore, for dieters, insufficient water consumption not only fails to achieve the goal of weight loss, but also causes more serious damage to health.

Myth 4: You can lose weight by skipping breakfast. Many people mistakenly think that skipping breakfast can reduce calorie intake, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss, but they don't know that skipping breakfast is extremely harmful to the human body, not beneficial to health, and will affect a day's work and life. So, be sure to eat breakfast, and also eat well, not just casually.

Myth 5: Tights, saunas, and massagers can lose weight. Some "slimming tights" made of plastic actually only increase the amount of sweat that wraps the body parts, and sweat only excretes water, not fat. Steaming in a sauna will expelle a lot of sweat and cause an illusory weight loss. Unfortunately, it's only water that is lost instead of fat, and once you rehydrate, you will regain your original weight. The electrotherapy massager used in beauty salons is based on the principle of making muscles firm and elastic through electrical stimulation, rather than directly burning fat, which is not very useful for people who want to lose weight.
