How to lose weight healthily?
Laxatives, I guess it's too late for me to answer. Many gods have already answered them. Looking at the answers of the gods, they are very correct. To lose weight, the first thing is determination and perseverance! I also want to share my own energy to lose weight... (do not recommend any products, do not advertise) I am a male, 30 this year, 174 in height, and currently weighs 134, which is fairly well-proportioned. I once had a car accident and broke my leg. I was in the hospital for more than a month, I was beaten with a bottle for more than a month, and I was at home for nearly a year. At that time, the weight was huge! From 160+ Biao to 180+, after my legs were almost healed, I opened a fried chicken and milk tea shop. Because of the store, I deal with high-calorie things such as oil smoke, fried chicken, and milk tea every day, and the shop is only 15 Ping, my activity space is very small, and I can't walk a few steps a day. In order to make money, I stay up late until the early morning every day, and then I am hungry after work, so I go to find late-night snacks at night, such as fried pancakes, hot pot, barbecue, my favorite! Paired with the milk tea in my store, it is refreshing to eat every night. Then the distress also followed. Within a year of opening the store, the weight soared from 180+ to 200+! ! ! In the second year of opening the store, I weighed 220+... Honestly, I was not ugly at the time, but because of my obesity, I felt so ugly, and I felt that if I were a woman, I would not look down on myself. Ha ha. I also had the idea of losing weight. I bought orlistat capsules with a lot of money (not very recommended), bought a course of treatment, and then gave me pain every day. Every day I almost became a jet fighter. Oil, sometimes I'm frying chicken, I feel like I'm sweating! The most painful thing is that I don’t dare to fart every day, because I don’t know if I want to put it, whether it’s a fart or an oil with oil... When I first took orlistat, my fart gave me a trouser pocket with oil. The Ollie gave it, and then... the buttocks of the pants were full of oil, I quickly closed the store and ran home, took a shower, and threw the pants directly, which was very embarrassing... But I have to use orlistat capsules Whether there is an effect or not, I can only say that the effect is a little bit. After a course of treatment, I only lost a few kilograms. I was still on a deliberate diet, and I didn’t eat dinner. But it pulled too hard. Therefore, people who are busy with work are not recommended to take orlistat capsules to lose weight. Fart bang oil! Later, I bought a fat-removing machine and a fat-reducing device, but it didn't work, it was just an IQ tax. During the opening of the store, I once thought that it was like this, and there was nothing to reduce. Until I met a customer, a man, very handsome. When chatting in my shop, when talking about losing weight, he said he was fatter than me before. Almost 240 pounds, chasing girls, girls are unwilling. He also showed me his previous photos, it was really fat! Because he was fat and couldn't catch up with girls, he made up his mind to lose weight, but he lost dozens of pounds abruptly. After losing weight, he was handsome and married. I was shocked, how did you lose weight, buddy? He told me to exercise, stick to it. It took him a year to lose weight. I made up my mind to lose weight because I couldn't stand it anymore. The first thing people around me said when they saw me was: Why are you getting fat again? ... The physical problems caused by obesity are gradually becoming more and more serious. I will not say much about the distress of obesity. I talked about my weight loss. One day before I wanted to lose weight, I was on Douyin, and I saw that it said that men must be self-disciplined, control their desires, and cooperate with the infuriating BGM, which made me determined and resolute. Push yourself! That night, I searched for various ways to lose weight on Douyin. There are advertisements, recipes, and equipment to buy, but the most important thing is to exercise. I just searched for a few exercise videos of weight loss experts. Favorite, like, save. Does it sound a little familiar? Are many friends just stuck at this step? ——The collection never stops and the action never starts? Ha ha. I used to be like that too. But I tell you a method, and then it becomes very simple to act. Find yourself a reason to act first! The reason I found for myself was - try it first, anyway, it's okay to be idle, and it's not bad for me to do anything. Get yourself moving! The movements are not difficult, they are all performed indoors, nothing more than jumping, jumping, raising the knees and the like. So the first day of exercise began. To be honest, I have not exercised for a long time. On the first day, I just practiced two or three sets, and I was panting like a pig. I was tired! Sweat like rain. A little stuck. But think about the distress of being fat! Think of yourself as a man! It's a man! Grit your teeth! Tolerate! practice! In this way, relying on a will, forcibly forced myself to finish the practice. However, the interim process is relatively long. I found that after exercising, sweating all over, doing some stretching, and taking a bath, I still feel very comfortable, and it is very comfortable to lie in bed. However, the next day, my whole body was in huge pain! I believe that many of my friends have such times, right? The arms are not arms, the legs are not legs, and the muscles all over the body are sore. Then how do you practice? The next night I found another reason for myself to reduce the amount first, but I couldn't stop. Then I did half the amount of the first day, and found that when I did the exercise, the muscles in my body didn't hurt that much. This lasted for about 5 days. On the 3rd day, I exercised according to the original amount. Most of them were enduring the pain. I couldn’t grasp any standard posture. So during this period, I didn’t know whether I lost weight or not. Anyway, I just practice first and act first. On the 6th day, I almost didn't insist, because my whole body was in severe pain, and I was a little dizzy and uncomfortable that day, so I didn't want to move. Then when I swiped Douyin, I swiped an inspirational video again, which was still infuriating. Then I got up again and did some exercise. That day, I was more tired than the previous 5 days of exercise. Not only did my whole body hurt, but I had no energy at all. I was lying on the bed and didn't want to move like the mud. So I gave birth to an idea that I didn't want to persist, and wanted to find a shortcut. Then go to Taobao, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, and find shortcuts to lose weight. After reading a lot, I found that some products that were praised as gods were eventually rejected by some platforms and evaluations, and I didn’t want to spend money. Then when I went to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and found that I was sweating profusely, and my hair was soaked in sweat. I was still handsome. I took a selfie in the mirror, fuck! so ugly! It's so ugly to be fat! But I suddenly had a plan! After exercising every night, I take a selfie of my whole body in front of the mirror, like punching a card every day, persevering to see how far I can get in the end. Then I marked a spot on the mirror, and after exercising every day, I would take a selfie with myself facing this spot. In fact, in the early stage, you will find that there is no change in body shape at all, but I like to see my sweaty appearance. I feel that I am on the road to becoming better, I want to quietly become better, and then amaze everyone! It is with this belief that I persisted for a month. After this month, I fell in love with the refreshing feeling of sweating profusely after exercising and the refreshing feeling of taking a shower. It's just that I sweat a lot every day, and I found that I haven't lost too much weight. I have lost seven or eight pounds, but my body has only lost a little bit of weight. Feeling a little disappointed? I felt the same way at the time. I felt that I had worked hard for a month and nothing had changed. I checked and found that in fact, people who lose weight in the early days of exercise are all water, and those who are really lean and fat are consuming more calories than they consume in their diets. After a month, although I haven't changed much, my perseverance and endurance have gone up! Important! There has been a change in my spirit, and the change in spirit is also very important. I began to pay attention to my appearance and became more diligent. I used to lie in bed when I came home from get off work, and I changed my clothes every two or three days, and I accumulated clothes for a week. Throw it in the washing machine. That month, I went home to exercise every night, and then I was soaked all over, so I washed my clothes that night, and started putting on a mask to clean the house. He is no longer the lazy fat man he used to be! Therefore, the first week and the first month of exercising to lose weight are very important. Don’t give up because of muscle soreness in the first week. Don’t give up because there is no change in the first month. If you give up, everything will be zero. Since there was no change in the first month, starting the second month, I increased the amount for myself. Before doing one set, I did three sets. However, it was also found that the degree of fatigue was not much after three sets, but the amount of sweating increased. I still take selfies in the mirror every night. I really found that, starting from the second month, the body shape began to change significantly. You can compare the previous selfies and you will find that there is really a big change. Tighten, silently, you will find that your pants are more and more easy to forget. My trousers are thin ropes, and I found that the rope on the waistband needs to be tighter and tighter, otherwise the trousers will always fall off. In this way, increase the amount of exercise appropriately every month, stick to it for 5-6 months, and you will be amazed by yourself once! Then go back and make a quick photo collection from your daily selfies, just like a quick slideshow, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that your figure has changed dramatically! In about half a year, you can buy clothes again, because it is really the clothes from the past, and they are not worthy of the current you! It's been almost a year since I started exercising on the first day, and I've gotten into the habit of going home and exercising every night. This is my first time to answer a question seriously on Zhihu, because this is my achievement and I am very proud, so I am happy to answer this question. It's just that the writing is poor, and I want to be as detailed as possible. Maybe many friends will ask me what kind of exercise I do, what I eat, whether I drink, and whether I have been lazy during the year. I want to say that any kind of exercise, as long as you think it suits you, the key is to get yourself moving first. Once you start, you will succeed, and it is never too late. If you want to talk about the difficulty, it should be more difficult for me than most fat people, because I said at the beginning, I once had a car accident, and the fibula of my right calf could not heal forever. Until now, I do After exercising, my right calf is swollen and often painful. But even under such circumstances, I still persevered and became a habit. As for what to eat, whether to drink, whether to be lazy, etc. In fact, during this process, I deliberately avoided drinking as much as possible, and I didn't control myself too much, just eat this aspect, don't eat too much A lot of fried chicken, burgers, fries, etc. are fried. You can eat them occasionally, but not too much. Just eat when you’re full, don’t overeat, just indulge occasionally. If I drink alcohol, I have been drinking it all the time. In the early days, I strictly demanded myself and pushed 90% of the wine bureau as much as possible. My reason was that I had a stomach ulcer (this reason is suitable for all people who don’t want to drink, no one Dare to persuade you to drink! As for how long you need to keep it, you can decide, haha). Sometimes when I get drunk, I stop exercising. This is laziness. I also don’t have any fat-reducing meals or meal replacements that I can eat. What I can do is to reduce high-oily meals as much as possible, avoid snacks, avoid cola, and put an end to late-night snacks. The rest is really nothing special. If you want to speed up, you can really eat some bland food. Be a monk or nun for a month or two, and only eat vegetarian food. However, everyone's weight loss road will be too painful and difficult. stick to it. So I still recommend a normal and reasonable diet, plus exercise. Having said so much, I just really want to share my personal weight loss experience. Of course, what the great gods said is also correct. I think it is really important for a person to persist in doing a few things in his life. Sometimes, if you don’t force yourself, you will never know how good you are or how great your potential can be. Finally, I wish the chubby paper friends, take action and lose weight as soon as possible, and each of them will become a radiant lightning! come on!
