Is Xiaosu effective in weight loss

Enzyme weight loss may have certain effects, but the effects vary from person to person and lack long-term scientific basis. Enzyme weight loss mainly works by promoting digestion and metabolism, but relying solely on enzymes cannot achieve healthy weight loss. The digestive enzymes in enzyme products may help break down protein, fat, and other components in food, which may reduce gastrointestinal burden or cause slight weight fluctuations in the short term. Some people may experience subjective feelings such as increased frequency of bowel movements and reduced bloating after taking it, which is related to the role of enzymes in promoting intestinal peristalsis. But the human body can secrete sufficient digestive enzymes on its own, and healthy individuals do not need to supplement them.

Some enzyme products may add dietary fiber or low calorie ingredients, creating a calorie deficit by replacing some of the diet. However, commercially available enzyme drinks often contain high levels of sugar, and excessive consumption can actually increase calorie intake. Extreme dependence on enzyme meal replacement may lead to nutritional imbalance, muscle loss, and even cause problems such as hypoglycemia and menstrual disorders. Scientific weight loss requires a combination of dietary adjustments and exercise interventions. It is recommended to control the intake of refined carbohydrates and high-fat foods, increase foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole grains and vegetables, and engage in moderate intensity exercise for more than 150 minutes per week. If the weight has not improved for a long time or is accompanied by metabolic abnormalities, medical examination should be conducted to investigate pathological factors such as polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothyroidism.
