During weight loss, how to know if your weight loss is effective?
Most people will do the first thing they do is go to the scale to measure their weight to measure the effectiveness of weight loss. Because most people believe that the increase or decrease in weight means the success or failure of weight loss.
However, weight cannot represent plumpness, and body fat percentage is the key to plumpness.
It’s just like fitness enthusiasts, whose pre-fitness weight may be 60kg, after 3 months of fitness weight loss, their figure is tight and solid, and fat has decreased significantly, but their weight is still 62kg. Weight doesn’t determine whether weight loss is successful, body fat percentage is the key.This is why I say: during weight loss, don’t just look at the weight.
During weight loss, don’t use weight as the main standard for judgment, you should take other standards into consideration. If your body shows these 4 signals during the weight loss phase, it indicates that you are starting to get thinner, and your weight loss method is effective.
The first signal: your clothes have changed from L size to M size
If most people can persist for 3 months with self-discipline, you will find that your clothes become looser during this period. The clothes you originally wore in L size are now too big, and the clothes in M size are enough. This indicates that your figure is slimming, and your weight loss has already shown results. When body fat decreases and your figure becomes thinner, your clothes will feel bigger and bigger.
The second signal: your appetite has decreased, and you like to eat light meals
Most people in the early stage of weight loss are highly dependent on high-calorie foods, but after a long period of dietary adjustment and healthy eating, you gradually reduce the intake of calories and control them within a reasonable range. After a period of time, you find that your appetite has decreased, and you like to eat light meals, and you can feel your body is becoming lighter, indicating that you are getting thinner.
When calorie intake decreases and combined with daily exercise, body fat decreases, and your figure will naturally become thinner.
The third signal: the number of deep breaths has decreased, such as stretching or extending your body
Fat people’s number of deep breaths is significantly more than that of thin people, mainly because fat people have a lot of fat in their bodies, which requires a lot of oxygen for oxidation and burning.
When the body fat decreases, the amount of oxygen needed decreases, and the number of deep breaths decreases, so the time interval between deep breaths will also become longer. We usually use limb stretching or extending your body to make the body deep breath. When you gradually get thinner, these actions will also decrease accordingly.
The fourth signal: you gradually like to exercise and no longer dislike it
Fat people most dislike exercise because the signal sent by the brain is to keep them in their comfort zone. Exercise makes the body move away from the comfort zone. When the body exercises, the metabolism will accelerate, fat will be burned, and muscles will be stimulated. For example, when a fat person starts to run, he is very tired at first, but after a long time, he won’t feel so tired. In addition to improving the heart and lung function, it is that the fat in the body decreases, and the body adapts to exercise, no longer dislikes or resists it. As the figure becomes thinner, you will gradually love exercise and even feel uncomfortable if you don’t exercise a day.
Finally, there’s a small method, which is to look in the mirror often to know if you have lost weight. But don’t always have fantasies about your figure. Figure changes rely on you managing your diet and increasing exercise to shape it. Therefore, persistence in exercise is the best choice for weight loss.
