Why is it that some people can lose weight by insisting on running and controlling diet, while others have no effect?

There can be a Pacific Ocean gap between running and running.

Yesterday when I was taking a walk, I swayed slowly, and then a man and a woman, two couples behind me, were chatting, and passed me slowly. I don’t know whether they are running or stepping. He couldn't surpass the passers-by who were walking normally in front of him, so the chat was quite lively.

This kind of running, do you want to see the effect of losing weight? There is no need to expect any obvious changes in half a year, the fat is still there, and I will never leave it.

There can also be a huge difference between diet control and diet control.

Some people control their diet by eating only one melon seed for a whole day. This method is destined to be unsustainable.

Some people control their diet by eating less than half a bowl of rice, then eating meat and drinking alcohol, and keep eating snacks. This kind of calorie intake is indeed controlled, and it is indeed possible to persist, but it is far from reaching the level where fat can be reduced.

So, everyone said that I went for a run, and everyone said that I had controlled my diet. Who knows what the specific situation will be like.

In short, there are only two possibilities for no weight loss effect.

One is that the time has not come, no matter how fast or how far you run, and how strict your diet is, within a month or two, your body fat percentage will not change significantly. This is why all weight loss methods must be sustainable. If you are too hard on yourself, if you don’t lose more than a dozen pounds in a short period of time, if your body fat percentage does not change significantly, your weight will definitely rebound quickly after you can’t hold on.

The second is that the efforts to lose fat are not enough. Efforts such as walking slowly every day and drinking less Coke every day are not enough to make your body fat decrease.

In fact, weight loss is very stressful step by step.

At the beginning, I couldn’t run far or fast, and I was hungry and unbearably hungry when I ate less. This is perfectly normal, because my physical fitness and living habits do not support too exaggerated changes.

This also means that the weight loss rate at the beginning must be the slowest, and there is no need for everyone to stare at the scale every day.

Only after two or three months to adapt to exercise and diet control, find your own rhythm, start to slowly increase the intensity of exercise, and consciously control yourself not to consume excess calories, then the real weight loss effect will be revealed.

It happens that everyone is most concerned about weight changes at the beginning. After running hard for two kilometers, I weighed it when I went back, and it weighed two or three, and I wanted to smash the scale every minute.

Losing weight is a thing that goes against the instinct of the body. We instinctively like things that can get immediate reward feedback, such as eating melon seeds, playing games, brushing Zhihu, and sleeping late. The root cause of obesity is mostly because of indulging in these things that can easily get pleasure.

Therefore, fat people will probably be more unbearable for things that cannot be given immediate feedback. Weight loss is such a thing. I am impatient and can't eat hot tofu, and the more I can't eat it, the more anxious I am. People who lose weight want to lose 30 catties a month, but they may not lose 3 catties in the first month.

Summary: The speed of weight loss is already very slow, and the speed of weight loss in the early stage is even slower. Grit your teeth and stick to it and improve slowly, otherwise you will not be able to lose weight successfully.
