Aug 30, 2024
Recently, extreme diet methods such as 'water fasting' and '00 hour fasting' have been popular on SNS such as Instagram and YouTube. This is an extreme diet method that literally consumes only water for a set period of time and does not consume any other nutrients. There are a lot of success stories online, but there are also a lot of failure stories.
Water fasting is generally a method of not eating food other than water and a small amount of salt for a set period of time, mainly used by people aiming to remove toxins from their bodies and lose weight quickly. The duration set by those who decide to fast water varies, but most prefer '72 hours'.
Lee Young-jae, president of 365mc Cheonan Branch, explained, `If you eat only water for 72 hours, you will naturally lose weight because there is almost no calorie intake.'"Mainly, carbohydrates stored in the body (glycogen) are consumed, and in this process, water is released together, resulting in weight loss."
In addition, the CEO said "72 hours of fasting can turn the body into a ketosis state.""In ketosis, fat stored as an energy source is used, which can help reduce body fat."," he added. According to Lee, fasting can help control blood sugar by improving insulin sensitivity, which can have a positive effect, especially on people with insulin resistance.
However, the most easy choice of starving diet when you want to lose weight may have a temporary effect, but the negative effect is much greater. Chairman Lee points out that `Although it may be okay for about three days at a time, repeating it or continuing water fasting for a long period of time, such as 7 days and 10 days, is not only difficult to implement continuously, but it can also have a significant adverse effect on health.'
The more we endure the time of patience and endure food, the more fat our bodies become. If you don't supply enough nutrients, your organs will gradually be damaged. If only extremely limited calories are supplied, our body tries to get energy by destroying muscles. Eventually, muscle loss causes a decrease in basic metabolism, and if you starve and eat food, you will be more fattening.
Rapid restrictions on calories consumed can lead to a decline in thyroid function. Thyroid hormones play a role in regulating the rate of metabolism in our body. When a lot of thyroid hormones are released, the food we eat burns quickly, and we lose weight. Most hypothyroid patients are at high risk of obesity. In other words, starving can lead to obesity.
If you continue to starve, your appetite can become stronger. If you are always hungry, your craving for food will inevitably grow, and your diet will become mentally difficult.
CEO Lee said, "The more you repeat the fasting diet, the more you do it."It is the easiest way to cause the phenomenon, so if you want to succeed in your diet, aim to lose 2-3kg a month, and slowly lose about 10% of your weight for 6 months, he advised.
There is no shortcut to diet. If you want healthy weight loss, it is important to set a path and practice it with experts.
