What should I look for when losing weight? These 4 signals indicate that you are quietly losing weight

I heard that some people weigh themselves seven or eight times a day, and if their weight increases by 0.5 kilograms, they feel like they are facing a big enemy? In fact, true weight loss experts are observing the "invisible report card" emitted by their bodies. When your jeans suddenly need to be strapped and a colleague asks you if you're secretly working out, these are much more honest than the numbers on a weight scale.

1. Clothes start playing hide and seek with you

1. The elastic band suddenly becomes more sensible

In the morning, when putting on a sweater, you found that the collar no longer stuck to your chin, and when wearing socks, your ankles were faintly visible, all of which suggest that your body fat percentage is decreasing. The most obvious manifestation of the reduction in the volume of adipocytes is the change in the looseness of clothing, especially the bony areas such as the collarbone and wrist, which will first "break through the soil".

2. Unlocking new ways to wear old clothes

Last year, the dress with the "swimming ring" can now fit into the entire fist, and the suit buttons that used to require a deep breath to fasten can now be easily closed. It is recommended to keep an iconic piece of clothing as a reference, which can better reflect real changes than a weight scale.

2. The body becomes a "high-end version"

1. The stairwell transforms into a gym

Previously, climbing three floors required taking two breaks in the middle, but now one can carry a package home in one breath. The improvement of cardiovascular and pulmonary function means an increase in muscle endurance, indicating that the amount of calories burned in daily activities is increasing. This "passive fat burning" mode is the core of the lean constitution.

2. Sleep becomes a power bank

The longer the deep sleep time and the clearer the mind after waking up are manifestations of optimized metabolic levels. When the body learns to efficiently utilize energy, the efficiency of fat breakdown at night will significantly improve, and many people will find that their facial contours become clearer when they wake up early at this stage.

3. Appetite has a new temper

1. Automatically blocks greasy temptations

When passing by a fried chicken restaurant, you no longer have to walk around, and when eating hot pot, you will prioritize blanching vegetables instead of fat beef rolls. This change in taste is due to the adjustment of gut microbiota structure. When beneficial bacteria dominate, the body naturally tends to choose healthy ingredients.

2. The signal to be full comes faster.

When you're 70% full at lunch, take the initiative to put down your chopsticks and stop feeling thirsty during afternoon tea time Looking for dessert. After increasing sensitivity to leptin, the speed at which the brain receives signals of satiety will accelerate, which can effectively prevent excessive calorie intake.

4. Light and Shadow Tricks in the Mirror

1. The jawline begins to "compete"

When washing my face, I feel the obvious corner of my jawline, and in a side view, I find a clear boundary between my neck and chin. Facial fat loss is the most difficult evidence of weight loss to disguise, usually manifested by a 3% -5% decrease in body fat.

2. Muscle lines quietly "spoiler"

Suddenly noticed that the back of the arm was no longer loose while taking a shower, and the knee bone became noticeably prominent. After reducing fat and moderate exercise, muscle tension can make the skin appear tight and "wrapped", which is more important than simply losing weight. When these signals appear one after another, it indicates that your body is undergoing a transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change. Instead of worrying about weight numbers, it's better to focus on how many centimeters of waist circumference has decreased and how much exercise intensity has increased. True healthy weight loss is like cooking soup, and when the heat reaches, the house will naturally be filled with fragrance.
