The above small test Just for fun, but is there really such a thing as "physique"? Are the "Physique that is easy to gain weight" and "Physique that is easy to lose weight" that people often talk about science or metaphysics? How about I explain it clearly to you in this article today!

01 Why do people’s physiques differ?

In real life, We often hear two kinds of complaints:

‍♀️How do I Do you get fat just by drinking cold water?

‍♀️I am too If you lose weight, you won’t gain weight no matter how much you eat!

Why exactly? Are there "physiques prone to obesity" and "physiques prone to losing weight"? All of this may be related to genes.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Research by the Prevention Center shows that there are more than 400 genes related to obesity so far. These genes will make people more likely to gain weight by affecting appetite, satiety, metabolism, body fat distribution, etc. Among these genes, the most famous is a gene called FTO. Multiple studies have shown thatFTO gene mutations can increase people's appetite. The mechanism may be that FTO gene mutations can cause Ghrelin is higher than normal.

Under normal circumstances, Ghrelin levels increase before a meal and decrease after a meal, making people feel full and not hungry. However, when ghrelin levels are higher than normal, people are still prone to hunger after eating, and they are also strongly interested in high-energy foods. Therefore, people with FTO gene mutations are more likely to gain weight.

If it really exists "Physiques that are easy to gain weight", then, do those "physiques that are easy to lose weight" that can eat without gaining weight also exist as a matter of course? Don’t worry, let’s look at a set of experiments first.

Previously BBC (UK Broadcasting Company) has filmed a documentary experiment: "Why can't thin people gain weight?" 》. The program team found 10 people who claimed to "eat without getting fat" and asked them to eat 5,000 kcal of food every day, but walk up to 5,000 steps a day. After four weeks, these 10 people all fat

So you see, As long as you consume more calories than you need daily and there is no way to burn them off through exercise,Yes Everyone will be fat.

02 Is the "fat-prone physique" really hopeless?

If you are " "Prone to obesity", is it really hopeless? In fact, as long as we adjust our eating patterns and change our living habits, we may not have to leave our body prone to obesity to fate.

Adjust eating patterns

For "Yi Fat For people with "physical constitution", it is necessary to adjust the eating pattern. If you used to eat like soup and rice, always have snacks, and like to drink flavored drinks... then you might as well give it a try

1️⃣Drink some water before meals. Doing this can increase the feeling of satiety and prevent you from not feeling the "full" signal and eating too much.

2️⃣Try to choose whole grain potatoes as staple food for each meal, such as taro, yam, oats, brown rice, whole wheat, etc. . Whole grain potatoes are rich in fiber, which can increase satiety and reduce the intake of large meals.

3️⃣Eat more protein. This is because appropriately increasing protein intake during fat loss can help people control appetite and relieve the pain of not being able to eat what they want. Remember, protein intake is your body weight in kilograms multiplied by 1.5. If you are 50 kg, you need to eat 75 grams of protein.

Change living habits

In the field of weight loss in the United States The three most famous authorities, George Bray, Claude Bouchard and W.P.T. James, also wrote in the "Obesity Handbook":Reducing calories and simply controlling calories is not a long-term solution to weight loss . You must know that good living habits can also help us achieve good fat loss results.

1️⃣Sleep well and promise me you won’t stay up late as much as possible. Previous research from King’s College London, UK, showed that people who sleep less than 7 hours a night will eat about 385 more calories the next day, Long-term lack of sleep will make you gain about a pound a week.

2️⃣Reduce sitting for long periods of time. Especially students and white-collar workers often slump in chairs and remain motionless. "Sitting for long periods of time" not only causes fat accumulation, but also causes muscle strain and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Don’t neglect everyday simplicity "Move", adequate exercise and appropriate strength training can increase our muscle mass and reduce our body fat rate. It not only increases daily energy consumption, but also makes our body look tighter and more beautiful.

Anyway, still As the old saying goes, Shut up, open your legs, eat scientifically, and exercise regularly. What about a physique that is prone to obesity? You can also improve it with exercise and dietary changes. You are the master of your own body.
