With the development of the times, people's aesthetics are also changing, the last two years people's body weight on the aesthetic more and more deformed, "white young thin" seems to become the standard for judging beauty, some research groups said: "In order to become the slim body required by today's society, many teenagers in the unhealthy diet to lose weight. Some research groups say, "In order to become the slim body that society demands today, many teenagers are losing weight through unhealthy diets."


However, some people lose weight simply because they want to be thin or because their major requires them to maintain a "perfect" body, and most of these people are obviously looking for efficiency and speed, so they tend to choose the fastest way to lose weight, such as dieting. Unhealthy dieting may be effective for a while, but after a long time the damage to the body can affect the growth of adolescents.


This is because the body metabolism is the most vigorous stage during adolescence, while the demand for nutrients is greater. You can control your weight during adolescence, but you should not blindly lose too much weight.


Is dieting the fastest way to lose weight?

Dieting is a relatively quick and easy way to lose weight by limiting food energy intake and utilizing the body's inherent metabolic mechanisms to burn and consume fat. However, extreme dieting can lead to physical deterioration, dizziness, and even coma.


College student, Jiang, in high school was an acting student used to be very unhappy with her body, in order to participate in the art exam she had to lose weight to maintain a slim body, which helped her a lot in the art exam, excellent body weight can make her very well noticed by the judges, so she began to lose weight. But she says her diet is not healthy, she often skips breakfast, eats very little lunch, and even dinner. Sometimes she even goes on a diet where she only drinks water and eats fruit all day. She said, "Dieting does make me lose weight quickly, but it makes me lose a lot of appetite and it's not healthy, and I think my stomach can only hold half of what a normal person eats now."


During the diet, she was unable to concentrate on her studies and fainted many times at school, which was Jiang's biggest frustration on the dieting and weight loss journey. Sometimes she is worried that she will die suddenly, but she still chooses to lose weight for the art exam.


Yang Na, who was also a dance major in high school, believed that dieting was the quickest method, but there were huge obstacles in actual implementation, and physical and psychological obstacles had to be overcome. After a period of dieting, she chose to give up, and then her weight rebounded. As well as the difficulty of the diet process, it was a big blow to Yang Na, and even made her suffer from anxiety.

It is common knowledge that unhealthy and unscientific weight loss is easy to rebound. If you lose weight successfully and then do not pay attention to the diet and quickly fat back, so what is the point of tossing and turning?


Why did weight loss fail?

The high-calorie foods that Yang Na has eaten these days


College student Yang Na said, "Eating fast food will bring happiness, but it is also the biggest obstacle on my way to lose weight."


Dr. Wang, a family nutritionist, stated that foods high in fat, sugar, and calories readily turn into fat when they enter the body and also cause fat storage. Not only will it cause weight gain, but it will also harm the digestive system, disrupt the regular metabolism, and negatively impact gastrointestinal health.


High-calorie food is not not to eat, but to control the amount. The uncontrolled intake of high-calorie foods is also an unhealthy diet.


Dr. Wang said that diet control alone is not enough, in order to lose weight efficiently, exercise is also essential, because exercise can enhance fat consumption, promote fat decomposition. The simplest and most effective aerobic exercise, that is running. The scientific exercise diet that combines aerobic and anaerobic exercise can certainly increase the efficiency of weight loss.


There are many other reasons for weight loss failure, and college students Yang Na and Bao agree that making too many long-term plans is a major reason for weight loss failure. Bao thinks it's best to make a weight loss plan for a week, and she says setting tempting goals and rewards for yourself will make it easier to succeed.


How to adjust unhealthy eating or improper weight loss habits?

For Bao, who has developed a normal diet, her advice is not to worry too much about the body and just keep eating normally. This will not affect either the health or the mood. Jiang and Yang Na said they will keep a normal work schedule, eat less fried high-calorie food, eat more vegetables, not picky eaters, and maintain a balanced nutrition.


Nutritionists recommend increasing intake of healthy foods like nuts, fruits, and vegetables as well as balancing eating and exercise schedules and exercising at a moderate intensity to help the body achieve balance. If you want to lose weight more healthily and keep a good figure for a long time, it is crucial that your body is healthy and in good condition.


Why do more and more young people fail to lose weight? The root of the problem is too eager to achieve, weight loss is not a day or two to complete, the process is difficult and long. So also learn to control the bad emotions brought about by weight loss to prevent further deterioration.
