Taboos for weight loss

Obesity is often closely related to the following bad habits, so they should be corrected in a timely manner.

1. Improper meal arrangement: Some people skip breakfast, have a hearty dinner, and snack before bed. This habit not only leads to obesity, but also increases the risk of serious diseases such as coronary heart disease and necrotizing pancreatitis.

At night, due to the excitement of the vagus nerve, insulin secretion is promoted and fat synthesis increases. Moreover, there is less physical activity and less calorie consumption at night. Therefore, eating too late or overeating at night can easily lead to weight gain. There is a saying: "When you eat is more important than what you eat." Therefore, breakfast should be hearty and dinner should be light.

2. Overeating and excessive calorie intake.

This is the main cause of obesity. Some people consider eating and drinking as the pursuit of life. Influenced by the idea of "not eating in vain" and "rather hurting the spleen and stomach than hurting feelings, drink to the fullest," they tend to overeat. Some people use alcohol to relieve sorrow and food to relieve worry, so they eat various foods without restraint and become overweight.

3. Irregular eating habits: Quick meals often delay meal times, causing hunger and leading to habits of wolfing down food and binge eating.

4. Selective eating: Such as a preference for sweets, fatty meat, pork offal, cream, chocolate, fried foods, and a love for Western food like KFC and hamburgers, which leads to an imbalanced supply of nutrients.

5. Skipping meals: Not eating breakfast and using lunch as a supplement, causing excessive insulin secretion due to excessive lunch intake, which results in increased fat synthesis.
