The road to weight loss is long and hard, and there is always something interesting to keep us going. About diet and weight loss, the 7 most interesting studies in 2016 are here, take a look! First, reducing energy intake can improve mood Second, exercise for weight loss has the most suitable point Too much too little will not work. If you want to exercise to lose weight, what is the most appropriate amount of exercise? A study published in the journal Current Biology gives us some hints: The study found that people who exercised in moderation burned more than 200 calories a day than those who exercised minimally. But shockingly, those who exercised maximally burned the same number of calories as those who exercised moderately. The author of this study, Herman Pontzer, an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the City University of New York, noted, “It may be that the body has adapted to high-intensity exercise, and that heavy exercise promotes the body to adjust and adapt so that it maintains the same energy expenditure as when exercising in small amounts.” Third, the injection of microspheres can promote weight loss 2016 American Society of Interventional Radiology annual meeting, a researcher proposed a new method to suppress hunger and promote weight loss. This method is “weight loss artery embolization”, that is, through a minimally invasive interventional method, microspheres through the blood to reach part of the gastric fundic vessels, interrupting or reducing the flow of blood to the stomach fundus. Since most of the hunger hormones are produced by the fundus, reducing blood flow through the fundus reduces the production of hunger hormones. Dr. Clifford Weiss, head of the interventional radiology study at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said the doctors involved in the study are excited about the potential results of the project – which are clearly less harmful and have a shorter recovery period than bariatric surgery. However, the results have not been peer-reviewed and more research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the method. Fourth, consume this fat without gaining weight A study in the Lancet’s Endocrine and Diabetes subsection found that people, both men and women, who have a Mediterranean diet are more likely to lose weight than those who restrict their fat intake. The researchers selected a group of people in desperate need of weight control – 7,447 middle-aged and older people, aged 55-80, with diabetes or at least three or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The researchers randomly divided the group equally into three groups and then gave them different dietary plans: the first group was a Mediterranean diet with at least 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil per day, the second group was a Mediterranean diet with at least 3 servings of nuts per day, and the third group was a control group with a low-fat diet. After 5 years of follow-up, those who consumed olive oil and nuts lost more weight and reduced their waist circumference more than the control group. So, eating the right fat is more important than not eating fat, hurry to learn the magic of the Mediterranean diet. Five, consume plant protein than meat protein satiety longer Six, probiotics can reduce blood sugar levels Seven, work before breakfast may reduce eating If you are thinking about losing weight, try working before breakfast: a study published by the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism showed that skipping breakfast before work can make the day consume fewer calories. The researchers divided 12 physically strong white men into 2 groups, one with oatmeal and orange juice for breakfast, and the other without breakfast. At 10 a.m., they were asked to run on a treadmill for an hour, then they were given food, and for the rest of the day they could eat as much as they wanted, and then count the amount of food they had left. One week later, the 2 groups were swapped and the experiment was repeated. The results of the experiment found that the test subjects consumed an average of 4,500 calories per day when given breakfast before exercise, and an average of 3,600 calories per day when fasting before exercise; therefore, eating breakfast before exercise helped burn more calories. Of course, the number of people in this experiment is small and the population is single, and more studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.
