Chapter 50 Can you lose weight if you eat irregularly?

Some people who are eager for success use dieting methods to lose weight, and then eat a big meal suddenly.This results in an irregular diet, and the result can only be fattening, and it is not good for your health.

Many people will ask, irregular diet can only be unfavorable to the digestion and absorption of the stomach, how can it make the body gain weight?This is because the quality and time of eating not only affect the stomach, but also affect the functions of every system in the body, and the endocrine system is no exception.There is a pituitary-adrenal axis in the brain, which is the command center for the secretion of human hormones. Insulin and adrenal cortex hormones can promote fat synthesis. When the diet is irregular, the secretion of these two hormones will increase accordingly, and the thyroid promotes fat synthesis. The function of lipolysis will be relatively reduced, resulting in fat accumulation in the body, which will lead to obesity in the long run.

In addition, the metabolic logic of the human body is surprisingly similar to the thinking logic of the brain.It has designed many programs for different living conditions, and can make metabolic adjustments at any time to protect the safety of life activities.Often hungry, do not know when there will be energy supply, the body instinctively feels insecure, it will enter a state of saving energy, and rush to save food as soon as possible.The result of this is that it is easy to synthesize fat after eating a little food, and then because most of the energy is stored, blood sugar drops, the body will soon feel hungry, and the appetite will rise again.Therefore, skipping a meal casually, or eating a full meal when you are hungry, will not only fail to lose weight, but will easily make you fat.

Some people often choose not to eat breakfast, many of which are because of the tight time in the morning.And most of them also think that as long as they don't eat, they will definitely help lose weight. This kind of thinking is really wrong.Professor Jin Shanxian's research group in South Korea conducted a survey on 103 obese patients and found that 71 (69%) patients skipped breakfast or ate light meals with less than 200 calories.The results of the survey showed that obese patients who skipped breakfast accounted for 55% of the total (57 patients), light meals accounted for 14% (14 patients), and the obesity index of patients who skipped breakfast was 3 times higher than others.

Therefore, to lose weight, you must eat a balanced diet with three meals a day, supplemented by exercise, and develop good eating habits.
