How to lose weight effectively

• April 24, 2024

I have always alerted my patients about what to do diet it does not work because the anxiety . However, the old recommendation of eating less and moving more to lose weight was wrong.

Lose weight fast is definitely a great motivation and therefore highly recommended, but there is one correct method and one wrong.

1. Dieting does not work . Initially you can lose weight even if you are not burning a lot of fat. With only six hours of fasting the blood sugar begins to rise (even without having eaten), it is the muscular destruction that prevents us from running out of energy, but what happens when the diet continues several days?

Here the answer: The hormone leptin low and the ghrelin rises, which causes the feeling of hunger to be increasingly intense. From this moment the anxiety it appears and no medication can diminish the appetite.

Sequelae of dieting

Slow metabolism: It is increasingly difficult to find available muscles to burn food. At this time still eating little is no longer able to keep losing weight and the rebound effect is imminent.

When leptin is low and ghrelin high any sweet food produces such intense pleasure that the risk of becoming addicted to carbohydrates is really dangerous.

How to recognize if I am losing fat or muscle?

When you start a healthy lifestyle with enough protein the thinning process happens even faster than with a hypocaloric diet , but the main difference is that instead of losing muscles, it is the fat that is decreasing. In addition, the attacks of anxiety they diminish until disappearing.

If the weight loss is associated with the decrease in the waist measurement it means that the thinning process is working properly, since fat is reduced.

What is losing weight ... incorrectly

By stopping eating the necessary proteins, the body tends to "autodevorate" the muscles. When you lose muscles you lose weight, but not so much measures. On the other hand, decreasing of measures evidences the reduction of fat. Also the metabolism It is affected by losing the muscles that function like the "ovens" where the food is burned.

Some proteins are so effective in decreasing appetite that they are classified as Functional Foods and used as treatments.

What can inhibit you from losing weight quickly?

1. Take medicines that get fat
2. Being suffering the rebound effect of diet previous
3. Do not sleep enough
4. Do exercises on an empty stomach
5. Eat excess carbohydrates without knowing it (example: fruits at dinner)
6. Eat only twice a day.

However, there are some patients who still gain weight without eating much, why? Most people with overweight they suffer from "Brain of Gordo", they wake up without hunger and they do not have enough breakfast, but in the afternoon they feel uncontrollable attacks of anxiety .
