Losing weight can be a headache, and many people have suffered a lot in order to lose weight. But recently, people in my social circle have been saying that staying up late can help you lose weight. Is this true?
【Does staying up late make you lose weight?】
Staying up late may make you temporarily lose weight a little bit, because of nutritional disorders, decreased endocrine regulation, and poor digestion and absorption. However, long-term sleep deprivation will not make you lose weight, but will actually make you gain weight.
When a person is sleep deprived, the entire process of metabolism is disrupted, and some people may feel more hungry, leading to consuming more calories and accumulating fat, causing weight gain. Therefore, lack of sleep not only does not make you gradually lose weight, but also makes you gain weight.
If you can only sleep for 4 hours a day, your blood sugar concentration will continuously rise, and the direct effect of the rise in blood sugar is to cause diabetes and obesity.
In addition, the content of biogenic amines in the body is also high, and this substance can induce overeating, leading to excessive intake and weight gain. Moreover, people who frequently stay up late or have irregular schedules not only age faster, but also have serious damage to their health.
【Staying up late to become thinner is definitely short-term】
Staying up late to become thinner is definitely short-term and harmful to the body. Long-term sleep deprivation will still make you gain weight. Staying up late will affect the operation of our biological clock and metabolism will become abnormal.
The speed of metabolism affects the rate at which our body burns calories, so staying up late often will cause a decrease in metabolism rate, which will easily form a constitution that is prone to weight gain. Also, when sleep is restricted or less than 8 hours, the level of hunger hormone in the body will rise, and a person's appetite will increase proportionally.
The desire to eat high-carbohydrate and high-calorie foods also increases by 45%. Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, which means that if you sleep less, you will gain more weight.
【Reasons why you can't lose weight】
1. Always find excuses to eat
"I exercised in the morning, so I can eat more without worrying about gaining weight.""I ate too little in the previous meal, so I need to eat more in this meal.""Today is a holiday, I can't neglect my stomach.""Occasionally eating more won't make me fat" ... People always find various excuses to satisfy their appetite and eat.
These excuses may make you feel better, but they also ruin your long-term efforts.
2. Not eating enough
Some people who are eager to achieve quick results may adopt extreme dieting methods to lose weight.
Generally, low-calorie diets result in a loss of 3 pounds of muscle for every 10 pounds of body weight lost. Prolonged low-calorie dieting leads to a large loss of muscle, a decrease in basal metabolic rate, and rebound weight gain.
Muscles do not rebound, fat does. Therefore, people who lose weight through low-calorie diets will only bounce back and become fatter.
3. Blindly pursuing weight loss
Some people are too eager to lose weight and hope to lose several pounds of fat every day.
In fact, before losing weight, you should make a plan for how to arrange your daily exercise and diet.
If you only do it when you remember to do it every day, you will find it very difficult to succeed.
