Losing only one pound a week is the healthiest way to lose weight

People who lose weight always seek speed and wish they would have a devil's figure the next day. But in fact, the most ideal rate of weight loss is to lose 3 pounds a month. A speed of 0.5 kilograms per week is also a goal recommended by many international experts. If you lose 3 pounds a month, your body will not feel unpleasant and you can persist for a long time. Don't underestimate 3 kilograms. If you can persist for half a year, you can lose 18 kilograms. In terms of appearance, you will be like a living person. It's been so many years, what is half a year? People are growing!

So why lose weight slowly? Why not recommend a way to lose 20 pounds per month? Let's listen to the editor and tell you.

Benefit 1: Slowly lose weight without hurting your body

Slow weight loss does not require a significant reduction in food intake, and the slow digestion method can ensure that nutrients are fully supplied without damaging the body or vitality. Because weight changes slowly, all organs of the body can adapt well and have time to adjust. Many people may have heard of the "fixed-point theory", which means that when the human body becomes accustomed to a certain weight, it will automatically maintain that weight without changing it. Slowly losing weight will not cause this kind of "rebellion" in the body.

Benefit 2: Slow weight loss can protect the skin

As you get older, your skin becomes more and more unbearable, and wrinkles will grow if you are not careful. All extreme measures are very harmful to skin health. Don't think that your skin is a rubber band that can be held up and retracted. Even if you lose weight quickly makes you lose weight, the skin cannot shrink so quickly. As you age, you will lose skin elasticity, making you more sensitive to rapid weight loss. If you bounce back and forth a few times after losing weight, the skin will age significantly. The rate of losing 3 kilograms per month can allow the skin to shrink naturally without wrinkles. At the same time, because of sufficient nutrition, your face will not become vegetable color or pale and haggard like rapid weight loss.

Benefit 3: Slow weight loss will not affect your quality of life

I won't be so hungry that I won't turn down all social interactions. You can go out for dinner with friends occasionally, and you can also eat normally with your family on weekdays. Rejecting interpersonal contact can be costly emotionally and psychologically stressful. Hunger and weight loss will encounter fierce opposition from family members, even boyfriends will resolutely oppose it, and may be regarded as an alternative by colleagues, but slow digestion and weight loss will not. Even because families have the opportunity to eat a healthy and light diet together, the quality of the whole family's diet can be improved together.

Benefit 4: Slowly losing weight can allow you to develop good habits in the process

Few people can persist in extreme weight loss methods for years, let alone a lifetime. Because extreme measures are taken, people will think that this is a special period, and it will easily develop the mentality of special treatment during a special period, and they will still return to the original track later. But when a weight-loss measure has been implemented for six months and you gradually develop a habit, you have developed healthier habits through weight loss, and this habit makes you feel better and better, and you are likely to be willing to continue it. Once you develop good habits, you overcome the root causes of obesity so you can remain healthy and beautiful over the long term.

Controlling weight is a lifelong undertaking, and you must never adopt short-term behaviors with your body. Only by developing good eating and exercise habits can you maintain a slim figure and full of vitality throughout your life. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will hear complaints from your body and even pay a heavy price. (Editor in charge: Deng Qi)
