Night Listening | Can you lose weight by eating meat without exercising? This method is not healthy at all!

Hello, this is Science Popularization China. Recently, a friend of mine was determined to lose weight, taking walks and controlling his diet. After all this, he lost more than ten pounds in half a month. However, a month later, he had serious adverse reactions due to weight loss, and his weight loss plan naturally failed. After I learned about what happened, I found that many people were using the weight loss method he adopted, called "eating meat to lose weight". It is said that there is no need to diet or exercise, and the weight loss effect is very good. Today, let's talk about this so-called "eating meat to lose weight". Is it reliable?

In fact, this so-called "meat diet" is not new. It is also called the "Atkins diet." This method claims that you don't need to control your diet or exercise, as long as you limit your carbohydrate intake and eat more meat, you can lose weight. This concept has attracted a large number of people who want to lose weight but cannot make up their minds to stick to exercise and control their diet.

However, this method is not reliable from a nutritional point of view. Although this method can help you lose weight quickly in a short period of time, once the time is extended, it is actually no different from other low-energy diets. Moreover, this method has very obvious side effects, such as bad breath, diarrhea, and fatigue. If diabetic patients use this method to lose weight, it is easy to cause complications.

Carbohydrates are the most economical source of energy for the human body. At the same time, grains are also an important source of nutrients such as protein and vitamin B1, and should not be easily discarded.

Having said so much, in fact, the most important thing for losing weight is to "control your mouth and move your legs". Appropriate exercise, a reasonable diet structure, and avoiding excessive dieting can help you stay healthy and avoid obesity. Okay, see you next time.
