What do you think of the woman who lost 35 pounds in 3 months by skipping staples and eating only vegetables and eggs?

Hankou, Hubei, 27-year-old girl Xiaoning, February 1 this year to a hospital in Hubei, obesity specialist clinic. The examination found that her blood sugar index is only 3.6, suffering from hypoglycemia. Xiaoning was a fat girl weighing 160 pounds. From December last year, she in order to lose weight, every day only eat boiled vegetables and eggs without oil and salt, 3 months to 125 pounds. However, the successful weight loss Xiaoning had frequent symptoms of dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations and cold sweat, and had to go to the hospital.

In recent years, the method of not eating staple food to lose weight is very popular. Especially during the New Year holidays, many people eat a lot of fish and meat, carbohydrates will not be ingested at all. In fact, this fat method may be effective in the first three months, but as soon as you start eating staple foods again, the weight of the alkaline fat people will rebound, even more than the previous level. Small program, especially women, daily food is not large, the ability to intake of high protein, high fat food is also quite limited, so once.... After not eating staple foods, it is easy to protein malnutrition. This part of the dieters tend to muscle loss, skin deterioration, hair loss serious, physical strength decline, lower resistance. Girls are prone to menstrual disorders, some will also have anemia, amenorrhea, ovarian shrinkage, and even suffer from swelling disease. Long-term do not eat staple food only eat meat dishes, but also inhibit insulin secretion, reduce insulin sensitivity, and ultimately induced hyperglycemia. If you do not eat staple food, B vitamins supply cut off, neurotransmitters are prone to disruption, dieters will appear emotional table, brain retreat blunt, thinking ability to decline, insomnia, depression and other symptoms. This is exactly why many weight loss diets harmonize to recommend large doses of supplemental B vitamin pills. A healthy adult daily intake of staple foods should be more than 250 grams, but now daily consumption of fine rice, fine noodles in vitamin B and food fiber is insufficient, I suggest that daily available coarse grains to replace part of the "fine grains", coarse roots in the food fiber can control blood sugar and weight.

I hope the above answer can help you

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

Most of the weight loss is done in the following ways.

1. To cause the body to excrete water (e.g., diuresis, diarrhea, or sweating).


2. muscle catabolism (e.g., starvation, disguised starvation, hypermetabolism).


3. Fat-burning (e.g. aerobic exercise) measures can all reduce weight. Of these, water elimination and muscle breakdown can "quickly" achieve weight loss, while fat burning is a bit slower and requires long-term persistence of a process.



This girl picked the "2" muscle breakdown method:

Starvation in disguise - eating vegetables and eggs instead of staple food will first cause the breakdown of glycogen and protein in the muscle (for energy) and take away the water in the muscle (2-4 times the weight of glycogen and protein). Usually within 2 or 3 years, weight loss will occur, and the more muscle the person has, the more obvious the effect.


Muscle breakdown, impairing stamina and immunity. Easy to rebound unless persisted for a long time. Long-term adherence risks lack of nutrition, leading to anemia and amenorrhea.


The love of beauty is understandable, but take their own health as the price, it is not worth it.

Blind weight loss is not desirable, reasonable diet is the healthiest!

Event Guide

Hankou, Hubei, 27-year-old girl Xiaoning, February 1 this year to a hospital in Hubei, obesity specialist clinic. The examination found that her blood sugar index is only 3.6, suffering from hypoglycemia. Xiaoning was a fat girl weighing 160 pounds. From December last year, she in order to lose weight, every day only eat boiled vegetables and eggs without oil and salt, 3 months to 125 pounds. However, the successful weight loss Xiaoning had frequent symptoms of dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations and cold sweat, and had to go to the hospital.

Weight Loss Tips

First, reasonable dietThe first thing you need to do is to get rid of all the weight you've got on your plate. Weight loss must not be blindly carried out, some people think that do not eat staple food, do not eat meat can achieve the purpose of weight loss, like Xiaoning such a large number of people. In fact, this kind of reduction is not desirable, and the consequences are also very serious. Then how to eat to lose weight? First of all, regular diet is very important, three meals must be eaten on time, especially breakfast not only to eat, but also to eat well. Dinner to eat less, can be appropriate to add more dietary fiber, such as cereal, konjac, etc.; to avoid more oil, salt, sugar food, try to avoid eating out, especially dinner is best not to eat out.

Second, moderate exercise. Weight loss must be exercise exercise, persistence is very important, do not fish for three days and two days, otherwise there is not much effect. Exercise should adhere to the combination of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. For primary dieters, do not exercise too much at a time, each time to an hour or so is appropriate, step by step, gradually increase the size. Exercise will sweat, especially in summer, but also pay attention to timely replenishment of water.

Thirdly, regular work and rest. A regular diet is important, and so is a regular routine. Some people like to stay up late and think that staying up late is also consuming energy. In fact, staying up late not only can't lose weight but also get fat. If the lack of sleep, the body is not easy to consume fat. And stay up late inevitably have to eat something, eat a little healthier, okay, if you eat snacks will get fat. The next day after staying up also the body will be relatively weak, relatively speaking, people will unconsciously eat more to get rid of this state, so don't stay up late.

I hope you do not take this blind approach to weight loss, I have a patient, insisted on four months do not eat staple food, a whole 40 pounds, but she amenorrhea, because a long time without adequate intake of carbohydrates, the examination found that the pituitary gland and the ovaries have been atrophied, and then promote the effect of hormones is very bad, only 26 years old girl, fertility is already basically impossible thing.

Our body must have a certain amount of fat reserves in order to have enough energy to maintain a normal life, especially menstruation. If we are too thin, it will lead to menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea. So this dieting method of not eating staple foods is not healthy at all.

And once this method is stopped and normal diet is resumed, it is likely to rebound again and may cause weight gain, so what seems to be a very effective way to lose weight is more like drinking hemlock to quench the thirst.

If you want to lose weight, there is no shortcut, only control diet plus exercise. Control diet, but also pay attention to nutritional balance, after all, if there is no health, no life, and then thin and beautiful, and what is the point?

This extreme approach is true to the old adage: too much is not enough!

Many people see weight loss as a very [urgent] matter, and can't wait to whoosh~whoosh~whoosh all the fat off their bodies!

But Wei Wei would like to ask: you are not a day to eat into a fat paper, eat and drink so long, muddled so long, inertia of their own that gluttonous mouth so long, want to lose weight can be thin? What do you think fat is, is firewood, a fire on the burn out? You think you're beautiful!

Losing weight is never a quick fix, and fat people trying to become skinny is probably one of the hardest things in the world to accomplish!

A lot of people think that by controlling their diet and exercising more, they're just being tough on themselves, right? Then I'll be tough!

But the human body is much more sophisticated than the machine, once overloaded is easy to cause damage, and most of the parts are bad can not be replaced, then blind weight loss, excessive dieting is bound to damage health, and even cause some irreversible damage!

And it's never a good idea to lose weight as fast as you can.Usually the faster you lose, the faster you bounce back.!

Because of the composition of the human body, only water comes and goes quickly, you think they are three days and two days to lose a few pounds off the fat?NO~NO~NO~, fat is the most difficult part of the human body to break down, than the decomposition of muscle tissue is also difficult to quickly fall are usually water, and when you return to normal eating, the water will be quickly back to fill, so that the weight of the rebound is not a matter of time!

Therefore, do not dream of a month to lose ten pounds twenty pounds, even if realized, is only a short-lived soap bubble, will soon hit back to the original shape, and even rebound to more fat than before! Stepping down to adhere to a healthy diet structure, quit high-calorie snacks and junk food, eat healthy, even if fat is not too ugly, while adhering to exercise, promote metabolism, improve the bad state of mind, this is the true meaning of healthy life!


I hope that my answer is helpful to you! Good luck!

This is an issue that every time I see it I feel sorry for the people who do it.

Some time ago, a fan on the headlines found me, 160cm + height, only about 80 pounds. Later, after a detailed chat found that before she used extreme weight loss methods, only eat vegetables and fruits, wildly dumped dozens of pounds of meat.

Now she can't even eat, when she eats, she has diarrhea, and her period has stopped. It doesn't matter what kind of recipes are designed for her, she eats and poops and basically doesn't absorb the nutrients.

Extreme weight loss methods such as excessive dieting and skipping staple foods can get rid of meat for a short period of time with no problem, but what gets rid of faster is health.

In the case of this fan of mine, diarrhea whenever she eats, lack of menstruation are just the visible symptoms on the surface, and the invisible indicators such as blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood uric acid are also presumably impaired, just pity her, in order to be thin, and is now suffering from health problems more torturous than fat.

I. Insufficient calories

Extremely little food will inevitably bring the problem of caloric deficit, people every day a trace amount of negative balance of calories can become thin, but a large number of caloric deficit, can only allow the body to slowly consume their own tissues and organs, and finally consume the end of the end of the end.

II. Malnutrition

You don't eat, so much nutrition from where, a lot of weight loss people only see the calories, don't care about nutrition, no nutrition, the cells on the way to maintain a normal state, will be fast apoptosis. It is said that the total number of human cells is fixed, treat the cells can make the cells live longer, abuse the cells will let the cells quickly apoptosis, apoptosis is gone, people are gone.

So such an approach is not weight loss, it's life loss!

III. Ketoacidosis

I have a friend who also did not eat staple food to lose weight before, and then several knuckles swelled up, only to realize that it was the rise of blood uric acid. Normally, women do not have the problem of rising blood uric acid before amenorrhea, and she is because she does not eat staple food, fat into glucose process produced ketone bodies, ketone bodies more to compete with uric acid discharge channel, uric acid can not be excreted, naturally high.

The rise in uric acid is still mild, with severe cases of ketoacidosis, memory loss, rapid hair loss, sagging skin, the beginning of age spots on the epidermis, and in severe cases, even death.

IV. Reproductive issues

That fan of mine is not getting her period now, and the good thing is that she has had a lovely baby. It's naturally impossible to get pregnant when you don't get your period. The same goes for men, the activity of the sperm may also decrease.

So it's really dangerous to lose weight blindly if you still want to have a healthy baby.

Making healthy lifestyle choices can cost you a small fortune, which can be a problem for some people. But when you get sick, who pays for that big expense is a much bigger problem.

Thanks for the invitation!

Guess the total amount of food consumed by this woman per day is seriously insufficient, and continuous dieting to lose weight is not desirable, not only will cause slow metabolism, endocrine disruption, and even cause anorexia. As for the structure of this woman's diet, it is also problematic, although eggs can be called the perfect food (and presumably eat too little), but still should be supplemented with more meat and fat. Low body fat is a major cause of reproductive dysfunction in women, and insufficient protein and fat interferes with the normal gluconeogenic response. Remember that eating sugar is not the only way to adjust blood sugar; both protein and fat can be converted to sugar to satisfy blood sugar balance.

It's important to note: It's right to skip staples for weight loss!

Not only should you not eat staple foods when you are dieting, but you should not eat staple foods in general. Especially rice pasta bread and other refined sugary foods. I'm sure some people are objecting when I say this. They know that the main ingredient of rice is starch, which just provides sugar, and they know that vegetables, fruits, groundnuts, pumpkins, and soybeans all have sugar in them - a source of carbohydrates - but when you tell them that they can replace rice by eating more vegetables, fruits, grains, and couscous, they can't get around that simple bend and get tangled up in that rice plot. Alas, what can I say but to serve rice and feed them two bites.


People are no longer a lot of physical labor-based, but often eat a meal either standing or sitting, the lack of sufficient physical exertion type of labor, has no longer need so many sources of calories, especially white-collar workers, office workers, the elderly. What we need, is more protein that can help us fight stress, good fats, vitamins, minerals, and all of these, are not in the white rice, changing the diet structure for the Chinese people, is imminent, affecting the health of future generations.


The nutritional community's understanding of sugar is almost exclusively in the last decade or so. Before that, much of the problem was blamed on fat, cholesterol, and now, more and more nutritional research is identifying the risks of foods high in sugar.

In 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a report on "Diet, Nutrition and Prevention of Chronic Diseases," recommending a worldwide reduction in calorie intake from sugar from 25 percent to less than 10 percent. Although the "official" policy of the United States has been synchronized with the World Health Organization, in fact, this message has not been effectively disseminated. In China, even the majority of nutrition experts, health experts, doctors, are still using the old food pyramid, which contains a serious excess of sugar.

The most criticized aspect of the "food pyramid" is the general advice to "eat less meat, less oil, and more carbohydrates".

Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in the U.S., even pointed out that this recommendation is very wrong, because not all fats are harmful to the human body, and not all carbohydrates are beneficial to the human body.

Eating large amounts of carbohydrates instead of protein may be exactly why Americans are getting fatter.

In 2002, Weilert designed a "Healthy Eating Pyramid" to revise the shortcomings of the "Food Pyramid" by categorizing fats and carbohydrates, and to dispel the long-held myths about fats and carbohydrates.

Many of the old nutritional concepts still believe that sugar should be the main source of calories. When it comes to new health information, it is even more important for physician nutritionists to keep up with the times.

Today, any healthy recipe and weight loss program starts with banning or reducing the consumption of sugar and high starch foods. The ketogenic diet of not eating sugary foods has been popular for two decades and has been rated as the safest and most effective weight loss program, and if there was the slightest problem it would have been banned long ago. More and more celebrities and stars are joining the ranks of those who do not eat staple foods. We need to prevent not only the accumulation of fat caused by sugary foods, but also the aging of the skin, blood vessels and other organs caused by sugary foods.

Once again, weight loss should not blindly fasting and dieting, not to mention diet and exercise at the same time (it is easy to lose fat results into muscle loss), weight loss must be carried out under the guidance of professionals, of course, if a certain expert is still holding the old food pyramid to explain to you, you should immediately turn around and walk away.


vista specializes in weight loss, health and wellness, learn more welcome to follow the message.

Well, it's a relatively good, safe, scientific way to lose weight. He should have a master teacher. Why?

I:What is the concept of staple food? Let's first understand the concept of staple food. Eat rice, noodles is called normal, called staple food? No, the fact that human beings do not have the concept of staple food, staple food is the last two or three hundred years of human beings into the industrial society to produce the concept.

As soon as there is a staple food, then the diet has a bias, on some food nutrition eat too much, some food nutrition is not, the main is the main to eat that kind of food, the human stomach space is limited, once you staple food to eat full stomach, then the rest to eat other nutritional food is not much.

We should remove the concept of primary and become omnivorous. That is, choose a variety of high-density, highly nutritious foods as much as you can given the choice. This will ensure that you are eating the best and most important foods to fulfill your body's need for nutrients and energy, rather than eating staples to fill you up.

This concept of eating is especially important for urbanites nowadays. Now people face work, life stress, and eat instead of quality decline, in the limited meal time, limited stomach space, as much as possible food variety, as much as possible first eat high nutritional food. Instead of eating the concept of staple food first.

Two:Why did he lose weight by not eating staples for three months and only eating vegetables & eggs?

This is because this dietary food combination is consistent with meeting the needs of the body.

Why?

The body needs six nutrients, including: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, water.

A:Eggs are rich in high quality protein and contain good cholesterol, a large amount of lecithin, vitamin e, a source of vitamin a, also contains very valuable monounsaturated fatty acids, and eggs are easy to digest and absorb.

This satisfies the body's need for protein and does not lose muscle protein, body protein, during weight loss, and does not lose weight by losing body protein, but by losing muscle.

Weight loss to supplement enough protein is very important, otherwise, the weight loss, may body protein will lose a large part. Even if you lose weight, you will look pale, weak, powerless, loose muscles, poor physical energy, easy to fatigue, easy to get tired, impatient to do things, easy to get angry and so on.

Choosing eggs for weight loss is very wise, great and very much in line with your body's physiological needs.

B: Choosing vegetables as a weight loss, in conjunction with eggs, is also a great, very wise, scientific combination. Vegetables are first and foremost low-calorie foods, natural, contain vitamins, small amounts of minerals, with enzymes.

They also contain dietary fiber, which cleanses the intestines and increases satiety. In addition, vegetables also contain a small amount of sugar carbohydrate sources that will not leave the body with a serious lack of sugar. There is no need to worry about hypoglycemia when you have eaten vegetables to keep your stomach from getting hungry, and the vegetables themselves contain carbohydrate sources.

Vegetables and eggs, basically, the body needs the nutrients are not very lack of protein enough quality, vitamins, minerals are a little bit, dietary fiber fiber is also a little bit, the only lack of carbohydrates and sugar sources, and sources of fat.

That in the three months time, even if not much exercise, on a daily basis, the amount of work, life activities, can slowly consume excess body fat to be converted into calories consumed, so as to achieve the purpose of healthy weight loss.

It would be perfect if it could be optimized a bit more. For example:Increase fruit and vegetable juices, increase sources of high quality protein, increase sources of vitamin C, increase sources of calcium, magnesium, fish oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil. Such a scientific star diet program is equivalent to redecorating the inside of the body while losing weight, removing all the disease-causing factors one by one.

Health first know:As the question said, the woman did not eat staple diet for three months, although the weight loss of 35 pounds, but the hypoglycemia, do not eat staple diet can also lead to anorexia, reproductive function decline, liver and kidney function, etc., in addition, such as once the return to a normal diet is very easy to rebound, do not recommend the use of unhealthy way to lose weight.

In the past 40 years, the number of obese people around the world amazing growth: from 150 million in 1975 rose to 641 million in 2014, and the number of obese people in China ranked first in the world, obesity not only affects the aesthetic appearance, it is the main cause of the high incidence of many chronic metabolic diseases, weight loss is more and more people pay attention to, however, the folk widely spread unscientific, unhealthy weight loss in numerous ways, it is recommended that you do not use the The body's health as the price of blind weight loss.

As mentioned in the question, the woman did not eat staple food for three months to lose weight, although the weight loss of 35 pounds, but appeared hypoglycemia, do not eat staple food to lose weight can also lead to anorexia, reproductive function decline, liver and kidney function is damaged, etc., and in addition, such as once the return to a normal diet is very easy to rebound, do not recommend the use of unhealthy way to lose weight.

A healthy approach to weight loss should still be oriented to "keep your mouth shut and your legs open":

Keep your mouth shut: scientific control of the mouth, to avoid overeating, but not not eat, three meals distributed reasonably, food variety, avoid high sugar, high fat food intake, increase the intake of vegetables.

Open legs: scientific open legs, 6000 steps a day, 3-5 times a week for a certain period of time and intensity of aerobic exercise, to help the body metabolism of excess energy, in addition to doing some shaping exercises.
