Once you understand the following key reasons, as long as you take the detours and consistently exercise, saying goodbye to obesity is not a problem.
1. Sweets
A fondness for sweet and tempting cookies and chocolates is almost a woman's passion. Even when full, why can they still indulge without batting an eye? The sugar in sweets is digested much faster than the complex carbohydrates in rice or bread, staying in the stomach for a short time, leading to hunger soon afterward. Consuming these on an empty stomach over a long period creates a vicious cycle. Furthermore, a rapid increase in blood sugar levels triggers the production of large amounts of insulin, which helps produce fat, thus leading to weight gain.
2. Fruit
Fruits not only provide the body with vitamins and minerals, but also... does that mean it's wrong to like eating fruit? Actually, fruits, like sweets, are simple sugars, and eating too much can certainly lead to weight gain. The calories in one apple are roughly the same as in a bowl of rice. Eating two apples is fine, but eating two bowls of rice would make any woman concerned about her figure scream in alarm. Therefore, it's best to limit yourself to two apples, oranges, and other fruits per day.
3. Eating too quickly and wolfing down food.
Eating too quickly and wolfing down your food can unknowingly stretch your stomach. The brain sends the "full" signal 20-30 minutes after the start of a meal; if you eat too quickly before the brain registers this, you'll overeat. Also, eating while watching TV can lead to unconsciously overeating. Some people try to lose weight by eating only one meal a day; while they might lose a few kilograms in a month, this can harm their health.
4. Habitual dieting
Many people repeatedly attempt short-term, drastic weight loss attempts, only to give up due to the unbearable pain of dieting. If this cycle of fluctuating weight gain and loss continues, while they may appear slim at first glance, their body fat percentage is actually steadily increasing – this is known as "hidden obesity." Normally, when you lose weight, fat decreases along with muscle mass; however, when you gain weight again, you only gain fat, not muscle. Therefore, through repeated weight loss attempts, you unknowingly accumulate and store large amounts of fat.
5. The dreaded menstrual cycle
There is currently no very effective way to control a woman's uncontrollable menstrual period. Before her period, women often experience varying degrees of irritability, cravings, and excessive sleepiness; this phenomenon is known as "premenstrual syndrome." During this time, the irresistible hunger leads to overeating, while fatigue and lack of exercise result in increased fat accumulation.
