Can you really lose weight by eating less and exercising more?

Losing weight is one of the things that many people are trying or constantly trying but fail. It can be said that losing weight is also the “lifelong career” of many people. So, can you really lose weight by eating less and exercising more?

When we have the idea of losing weight and understand the relevant knowledge of losing weight, we will know that diet is the key to losing weight, diet is the necessary link to maintain life, and diet is also the decisive factor leading to your obesity or loss of weight. Bad eating habits will make you eat too many calories, resulting in excess calories and obesity. On the contrary, a healthy and reasonable diet will enable you to control your caloric intake well. When you cooperate with a certain amount of exercise, there will be a caloric gap and you will lose weight successfully. Now let’s introduce whether eating less and exercising more can really reduce weight. Those who do not know this well can learn from the following.

Can you really lose weight by eating less and exercising more?

First: from the perspective of caloric intake: your caloric intake is always underestimated. What should be controlled in diet control is the daily caloric intake, not the total amount of food. What needs to be done is to control the total calories, not a meal or a day, but the total calories intake per day throughout the weight loss period. Of course, this is an average. Generally speaking, the calories of food are always ignored. This phenomenon is very common, especially in people with a large body weight base. In addition, compared with men, women are more likely to underestimate their calorie intake, and the underestimated value is not low. Some studies show that subjects’ self-assessment calorie intake is about 1000 calories, but in fact, the calorie intake is as high as more than 2000 calories, that is, they underestimate nearly half of the calories. Second: from the perspective of heat consumption, it is not only the consumption caused by basic metabolism. In terms of heat consumption mode, it mainly includes basic metabolic rate (about 60% of the total heat consumption), sports including daily activities (about 30% of the total heat consumption) and food thermal effect (about 10% of the total heat consumption). Therefore, only by controlling the total calories and taking part in some exercises can we form a calorie gap and lose weight faster.

2 sports consumption includes two parts:

One is the consumption generated by formal sports (such as running, weightlifting, cycling, swimming, etc.), and the other is non sports consumption (such as walking, housework, daily work activities, etc.). Judging from the proportion of heat consumption, the proportion of exercise seems not high, but you should know that exercise, including daily activities, is the only factor you can actively control, because as long as you increase the exercise time, the proportion of exercise consumption will increase.
