Revealed! Is obesity over-nutrition or malnutrition?

  If obesity is the result of an excess of nutrients, then will weight loss lead to malnutrition?  In fact, the ideal weight loss effect is to release the excess “nutrition” from the body. As we all know, when the body’s calorie intake is greater than the normal amount needed, the accumulated calories will gradually form fat in your body, the process of weight loss is the process of using these reserves of fat to the fullest.  This is why the ketogenic diet and the common “hunger strike” diet have emerged.  Both of these methods are designed for one purpose: to burn fat. In order to achieve this goal, many people for their own customized diet recipes, usually these recipes are single nutrient food, weight loss is not ideal and easy to cause damage to health.  In fact, obesity is originally a manifestation of malnutrition.  Many people have the impression that malnutrition is thin “skin and bones” state, imagine the obese diet has high fat, high calorie characteristics, in common parlance is excessive “picky eating”, breaking the balanced diet, resulting in the body part of the nutritional imbalance.  Therefore, we often say that obesity is over-nutrition, the other side of this is malnutrition.  A, excess energy ≠ excess nutrition and fat people love pizza, potato chips, cakes, hot pot, etc., are mostly high calorie, low nutrition. Simply put, the usual food that are high in sugar and fat, they will prompt you to energy intake > energy consumption, so you get fat. But these foods have far fewer vitamins and minerals, and eating this way for a long time will still leave you malnourished.  When fat accumulates more and more, vitamins and minerals are not replenished, falling into the obesity-nutrition imbalance circle. Some studies have shown that the greater the weight of the population, the more serious the lack of vitamins and minerals.  Second, the wrong way to lose weight Extreme diet diet: almost all fat people have dieting experience, fasting or eating only fruits and vegetables. After a period of time the weight may have decreased, but the unbalanced nutritional intake to the body will not disappear with the recovery of weight, thus forming the sequelae of malnutrition.  Exercise increased, nutrition supplement did not keep up: In order to lose weight quickly, some people not only diet, reduce nutrition, but also desperately exercise, increase consumption. This type of weight loss, indeed, can quickly slim down, but often easy to rebound, and even fatter than before. Diet plus exercise crazy weight loss, nutritional supplements can not keep up, but also aggravated malnutrition.  The so-called “seven points by eating, three points by practicing” in weight loss science is justified, but many people do not set the diet right leading to have been doing useless work, followed by weight loss failure, weight rebound, increasing the difficulty of weight loss.  When obesity delayed to a more serious degree, especially BMI ≥ 32 obese people, even a balanced diet is difficult to achieve the effect of weight loss. In this case, there are not many suitable weight loss methods, and Youdao Jun still recommends that this type of fat people choose weight loss surgery.  At present, there are two main types of mainstream weight loss surgery – sleeve gastric surgery and gastric bypass surgery, after the surgery, even if the weight has not changed much, metabolic disease began to alleviate, in general, are a multi-benefit surgery. The choice of which one to choose still needs to be judged by the doctor’s assessment of the patient’s individual situation, so there is only fit for both procedures, not good or bad.  Regarding the long-term results of weight loss surgery, many people believe that after the surgery, if after ten or twenty years, these patients will still regain their original weight. In fact, however, a recent long-term follow-up of 1,787 patients showed that after ten years, only 3.4% of patients returned to near their original weight, and the vast majority were able to successfully lose weight.
