Modern aesthetics pursues the word “thin”. In fact, obesity does cause many health problems. With the increasing popularity of the topic of weight loss, the concept of “substitute food” gradually appears in the public’s vision. Recently, I saw some advertisements on the whole network to promote “high protein, high fiber, low calorie” and “lasting satiety”, claiming that it can replace dinner and play the role of weight loss, attracting a large number of netizens who want to lose weight. So is it reliable to lose weight with a substitute milk shake? Let’s get to know each other.
Is diet shake reliable for weight loss
according to “According to the ingredient table and official data of the substitute milk shake, the calories of a bottle of the substitute milk shake are 259 calories. According to the rule of three meals a day, that is, if you only drink the substitute milk shake in a day, the calorie intake is 777 kcal. However, according to scientific data, if a person with a standard weight of 60 kg needs 1500-1600 calories per day at rest; if the amount of exercise is moderate, the calories required at the end of the day is 1800-20 00 calories, far more than the calories provided by the substitute milk shake. When the human body ingests insufficient calories, the body will use its own stored energy and even consume its own tissues to meet the energy needs of life activities. The most intuitive result in a short time is to consume fat to lose weight.
From the results, the method of drinking milk shake instead of staple food can indeed reduce weight in the short term. But in principle, this way of losing weight is no different from dieting. In the long run, this is an unhealthy and unscientific way to lose weight. If you are surprised to see that your weight changes in a short time, And adhere to the use of “meal replacement milkshake” to lose weight for a long time, resulting in the intake of calories that can not meet the basic metabolism of the body for a long time. The body will start the protection mechanism, actively reduce the energy required for daily basic metabolism, and strive to protect the fat so that the fat will not be consumed. Once you return to the normal diet at this time, the fat in the body will be easier to accumulate, resulting in more obesity than before, which is what we call rebound.
In addition, the long-term use of liquid food instead of dinner will cause the digestive system to be unable to carry out normal metabolism for a long time, which will lead to gastric ulcer, gallstone, anemia and many intestinal problems. “Low energy, low carbon, water and high protein” is indeed the dietary standard for nutrition and weight loss, but the important prerequisite for implementing this dietary method is the supervision and cooperation of professionals. The nutrients and trace elements contained in various vegetables, fruits and meat we eat every day are very complex, which can not be replaced by adding a small bottle of milkshake manually.
