The seven key periods of obesity prevention

Once doing a TV program about weight loss, I met a lady who weighed up to 140 kg. She was smart and cheerful, with a happy family and a successful career, but she inevitably worried about her weight after seeing firsthand all the hardships and thrills that obese mothers face when they conceive and raise children, especially when the children they give birth to are in significantly poorer health. The woman said that her birth weight was normal, but her parents and grandparents took extra care of the little life, feeding her every two hours, adding rice flour, egg yolk, meat and other kinds of food early on, feeding far more than ordinary babies, and taking deep pride in the baby's fatness. In this way, since the beginning of remembering, they are fatter than their little ones. After puberty, she had already reached a weight of 70 kg, and dreamed of having a slender figure like other girls, so she joined a "weight loss camp". At that time, she did lose 10 kg, but soon after the end of the rebound to 80 kg. Later, she tried almost every method and weight loss product she could find, but the results were not what she wanted. Some methods did not work at all, while some methods lost a few pounds at the time, and then rebounded even harder. In this way, slowly from 70 kg "reduced" to 140 kg. After arriving at work, her busy career, no time to take into account diet and nutrition, but also no fitness habits, physical activity has been very little, busy weight will increase.

Life is easy to gain weight in 7 key periods

From the above examples can be summarized in the first 4 periods of life most likely to gain weight, followed by the other 3 most likely to gain weight 3 periods are summarized here.

Key period one: early obesity in the first 1,000 days of life

Pregnancy mother overweight, before two years old by parents feeding overweight, this is an important hidden factor of obesity in adulthood. This lady is a case of early obesity.

Key period two: children and adolescents in the family eating habits unreasonable

This lady said, from childhood home basically can not see green leafy vegetables, the total amount of vegetables is also very little, three meals are mainly refined white starch staple food plus fat and meat combination, seasoning is also relatively heavy. This is the most common fattening diet, characterized by a low proportion of vegetables, grains and legumes, too many refined white staples, too much cooking fat, high calories, low fiber, and a large increase in blood sugar and blood lipids after meals. These wrong habits are likely to last a lifetime and harm a lifetime.

Critical period three: after employment to fat

Many people like this woman, three meals to make ends meet, no time for fitness, to earn money in the first place, to take care of their own diet and living in the last place. The result is "stress-induced fat" and "overworked fat".

Key period four: wrong weight loss rebound fat

A large proportion of obese people are not down-to-earth to eliminate the causes of fat, but the quick success, try all kinds of popular weight loss methods, and even metabolic disorders, weight loss more and more difficult, and even seriously affect the fertility and quality of pregnancy. 19 years old, if this woman first weight loss on the use of the correct method, she can change the image within six months, become a healthy woman. But unfortunately, instead of seeking professional nutritional guidance, she sought out unqualified weight loss camps and used herself as a mouse to try various unscientific weight loss methods, resulting in 10 years of weight loss and a doubling of her weight. I hope this woman can take the opportunity to prepare for pregnancy, really put aside her impatience, first spend a year to strengthen fitness, to ensure nutritional balance, to regulate all metabolic functions to a relatively normal state, and then spend two years to reduce weight in a healthy and smooth way, it will be much easier. At that time, not only will it be easier to conceive, but both mother and child will be safer during pregnancy. After that, however, there are three key periods of fattening that cannot be ignored.

Key period five: excessive weight gain during pregnancy

Many women do not pay attention to nutritional balance during pregnancy, mistakenly thinking that the more weight gain the better. In fact, too much weight gain during pregnancy, too fast, will increase the risk of diabetes and obesity in both mother and child, and research has found that it may also affect the intellectual development of the baby. Especially those who are obese before pregnancy should strictly control the weight gain during pregnancy. Otherwise, many women have since become fat women, slender body never return, and this is not at all the fault of the child.

Key period six: middle age period

Because the basic metabolism declines, physical activity reduces, after 40 years old is very easy to happen waist and abdominal obesity. At this time can not be "older" as a reason to indulge themselves. As long as in the diet and exercise to strengthen the management of both, then even after 50 years, as always can maintain a tight and smooth body, but also to avoid the risk of diabetes, breast cancer, intestinal cancer, gallbladder disease and many other chronic diseases.

Key period seven: bedridden period

Sickness to fat also can not be prevented, in addition to the use of certain hormones will cause obesity, but also may be because of long-term bedridden lack of physical activity, muscle severely attenuated, the basic metabolism decreased, resulting in many people with normal body shape into fat people. If you do not work hard to fitness, it is difficult to return to a slim figure. Take a look, which period are you in now? If there are already signs of fat, you must take advantage of the fat base is not yet stable, and hurry to take healthy weight loss measures. Otherwise, after indulging in fat flooding, and then use the wrong weight loss methods, will pay a heavy price, incurring endless regrets.
