A must see for girls to lose weight! Avoid these three time periods and quietly lose weight

Choosing the right time can lead to twice the result with half the effort in weight loss, while choosing the wrong time may result in wasted effort. Some time periods may seem suitable for exercise or dieting, but they actually hide metabolic traps and may even make fat accumulation more stubborn.

1. Is fasting exercise really effective in the morning?

1. Low blood sugar period

After overnight consumption, liver glycogen reserves are insufficient when waking up in the morning, and direct exercise can easily cause hypoglycemic reactions. At this point, the body will break down muscle protein for energy supply, which in turn reduces the basal metabolic rate.

2. Peak period of cortisol

The level of cortisol in the human body naturally increases from 6-8 am, which is a stress hormone that promotes fat synthesis. If combined with fasting exercise stimulation, it may trigger the counterproductive effect of "getting fatter with more practice".

3. Better alternative

It is recommended to consume a small amount of fast carbon (such as half a banana) first, wait for 20 minutes, and then exercise. From 4 to 6 pm, when testosterone/growth hormone levels are high, it is the true golden period for fat burning.

2. The hidden dangers of completely abstaining from carbohydrates during dinner

1. Decreased sleep quality

Carbohydrates participate in serotonin synthesis, and complete cessation may affect melatonin secretion. Lack of sleep can lead to a decrease in leptin, an increase in ghrelin, and a surge in appetite the next day.

2. Risk of muscle loss

Not eating for up to 8 hours at night, if there is a lack of glycogen reserves, the body will accelerate muscle breakdown. For every 1 kilogram reduction in muscle mass, the daily basal metabolism decreases by about 50 calories.

3. Scientific Matching Principle

Choose low GI carbon water such as oats and sweet potatoes, and control it within 20-30g. Paired with high-quality protein (eggs, fish) can prolong satiety and avoid waking up hungry in the middle of the night.

3. Eating excessively during menstruation and not gaining weight is a scam

1. The truth about metabolic rate

The basal metabolism during the luteal phase only increases by about 5-10%, which is equivalent to consuming about 100 extra calories per day, which is not enough calories for a cookie. The so-called 'not gaining weight during menstruation' is a typical cognitive bias.

2. Edematous body weight

The increase of progesterone level will lead to water and sodium retention, and the increase of weight scale number ≠ fat growth. At this stage, it is even more important to control salt intake to avoid exacerbating edema.

3. During special periods, it is recommended to supplement foods rich in magnesium (pumpkin seeds, black chocolate) to alleviate appetite fluctuations. The window period with the highest weight loss efficiency is when estrogen levels rise one week after menstruation. Losing weight is not about fighting against the body, but about learning to understand its biological clock. Avoid these three typical misconceptions and combine moderate exercise to make the weight loss process more in line with physiological laws. Remember, sustainable weight loss methods will never require you to abuse yourself.
