Is it difficult to successfully slim down? Take a look at these 5 misconceptions, how many have you fallen into?

Although they eat less than cats and exercise more tired than dogs, the numbers on the weight scale seem to be stuck with 502 glue? Don't rush to blame slow metabolism, first check out these hidden traps on your weight loss journey. Maybe you're running wildly on the wrong track holding a torch!

1. Treat "healthy food" as a gold medal for immunity

1. Sweet trap of nuts

Grab two almonds as snacks every day? These thumb sized energies explode Bullets, 20 of them are equivalent to half a bowl of rice's heat. Suggest changing to a smaller sealed box for packaging, taking only about 15 grams each time.

2. Sugar coated bullets in fruit juice

Freshly squeezed orange juice sounds very healthy, but after juicing three oranges, there is no fiber left, and the sugar is piled up. Eating fruits directly can make you feel full for an extra 2 hours, and blood sugar fluctuations are also smoother.

2. Compensating for psychological effects after exercise

1. Math miscalculation of calories

The treadmill displays a consumption of 300 calories, and turning around rewards 400 calories of milk tea. This "negative savings" mode turns the gym into a psychological placebo. The data of the sports wristband needs to be discounted by 30% to be reliable.

2. Excessive protein supplementation

After taking tons of iron and drinking protein powder, the excess part will not turn into muscle, but will silently transform into fat reserves. 1.2-1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is sufficient, and egg white is more solid than supplements.

3. Sleep debt affects metabolism

1. Night shift fee for cortisol

Continuous staying up late can keep stress hormones high, causing the body to automatically enter a "famine mode" and break down muscles to retain fat. Lying flat before 23:00 is more effective than any weight loss tea.

2. Morning Uprising of Hunger Hormones

When sleep is insufficient, hunger hormones that promote appetite will be secreted 28% more, which is why I always want to swallow the entire breakfast stall after staying up all night. Try taking your phone out of the bedroom and leaving a gap in the curtains to welcome natural light.

4. Excessive pursuit of quick fix solutions

1. The backlash of extreme dieting

Drinking only vegetable soup for three days can indeed cause weight loss, but the body will cleverly lower basal metabolism. When normal diet is restored, weight will rebound faster than the stock limit up.

2. The fantasy of local weight loss

Even with 100 abdominal rolls per day, one cannot achieve a full body fat reduction. To flatten your lower abdomen, you need to first reduce your body fat percentage to below 22% through aerobic exercise.

5. Neglecting daily micro exercise consumption

1. Sitting for long periods of time boiling frogs in warm water

1 hour in the gym and 8 hours in the office, this amount of exercise is equivalent to using a dropper to fill a swimming pool. Try getting up every 45 minutes to fetch water and climb stairs. These small actions can burn an additional 200 calories per day.

2. Comfort trap of air-conditioned rooms

The constant temperature environment makes the body lazy to regulate heat production, and the basal metabolism is 5% lower than in the natural environment. Lowering the heating appropriately in winter can activate brown fat by shaking the body. Losing weight is not a war with weight, but a reconciliation with lifestyle habits. Starting today, shift your focus from the weight scale to the details of life. Perhaps one day when you look in the mirror, you will find that those stubborn fats have quietly packed their bags and left.
