Why do I feel like I’m eating less, but I’m still gaining weight? Because dieting does not help us burn excess body fat, on the contrary: 1. Dieting allows the body to store as much fat as possible Suddenly reduce the amount of food will make the body think that there is a famine. Based on the function of self-protection, the body began to find ways to hoard fat, in case of physical exhaustion. At this point, no matter what you eat, the body will take as much fat as possible from it, or store food energy in the form of fat. 2, dieting greatly reduces the metabolism When our calorie intake is too low, there will be a hormone secretion condition disorder. The secretion levels of many hormones that help the body burn fat are drastically reduced. At the same time, since the body does not burn fat to supply energy, it begins to break down muscle, and leads to a large loss of water. Therefore, usually in the early stages of dieting weight will have a substantial decline, but the massive loss of muscle further reduces the metabolism, weight loss will enter a long platform period. 3, dieting is easy to trigger overeating Long-term or serious suppression of the body’s normal physiological response to hunger, will lead to our thirst for food more and more intense. At the same time, the brain’s response to hunger and satiety is out of whack, which means that you are likely to continue to eat when your body is already full. That’s why dieting is actually a means of hoarding fat and can’t really be effective in losing weight. When you are hungry to endure the torture of three-day apple meals, but also face a huge risk of rebound, are you willing to continue?
