Just drink black coffee with sugar cubes. The first sip is so bitter that it makes you frown, and the second sip is so sweet that it makes you feel cloying. This is the early morning hours of the Copenhagen Diet. The ritual is so complete that it seems like a performance of some kind of avant-garde drama.
In fact, we all know that exercising is too tiring and eating is too annoying.
I just wanted to find a shortcut, lie down, and become thin like a bolt of lightning.
Who hasn’t searched for “quick weight loss”?
With a click of a finger, it was as if the savior had arrived.
How long has that Danish fairy tale deceived us?
It is said on the Internet that this is a secret recipe from Northern Europe. It can help you lose ten pounds of meat in 13 days.
It sounds exciting, right?
Breakfast: black coffee + sugar cube.
Lunch: two eggs + two tomatoes.
Dinner: All you can eat steak.
How does this combination look like that joke——
"Eat grass at noon and be emperor at night."
But does it really dare to let you eat like this?
After careful calculation, I ended up with less than 800 calories a day.
What is the normal metabolism of an adult woman? At least 1200.
It leaves you in a state of hunger, which causes the body to panic, as if it's experiencing famine, and rush to draw from stored fat for consumption.
When burned, a pile of waste materials called "ketone bodies" are produced, which sloshes in the blood.
The liver works overtime to process these waste materials, and it is very tired.
The kidneys also suffered.
What's even worse is that it's eating your muscles
Do you think all you lost is fat?
Too naive.
Muscles are also breaking down. Less muscle means lower metabolism.
When the 13th day passes and you return to eating normally, your body will be like a starving beggar, storing calories internally.
Getting fat again? That is inevitable, and he is even fatter than before.
There is a survey online that shows that 95% of those who use fasting to lose weight rebound back to their original weight within 5 years.
Another 70% of them have rebounded and become fatter than before.
Some people think Copenhagen is too bitter, so they turn to "ketogenic"
Ketogenic sounds much more advanced.
Eat meat, devour butter, and refuse rice and noodles.
How cool!
There is a rebellious pleasure, like going against the nutrition science of the world.
But, is this “keto” really that easy to live with?
It was first used to treat epilepsy in children.
The doctor watched, the nurse watched, and if anything seemed amiss, they would take blood tests.
How do ordinary people understand this?
When I saw something on the Internet saying that I could lose weight, I immediately rushed to it.
The result?
Those things hidden behind the aroma of meat
In the first few days after taking it, I felt dizzy, sleepy, and nauseous.
This is called "low-carb flu". Your body is protesting, but you ignore it.
Then, later on, constipation came to the door. Only certain types of vegetables are allowed to be eaten, and the amount of dietary fiber does not meet the supply demand, so that it cannot be extracted.
There was a strange smell in his mouth, like nail polish remover. He couldn't smell it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the subject wanted to run away.
Some people lose their hair in handfuls.
Someone is missing their period.
Another person was found to have alarmingly high blood lipids. Triglycerides soared above 15. Then what flowed in the blood vessels was almost no longer blood, but oil.
People from the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center came out to express their opinions, stating that it is not recommended for ordinary people to use ketogenic methods to lose weight.
Dr. Ding Xiang also said: This method is too extreme.
Some people feel that they are the exception
I once met a member whose eyes were shining like stars, and he said to me: Finally, I can start losing weight in a time of big fish and meat!
I asked her: Do you know the disadvantages of ketosis? Have you checked the information?
She froze.
She said she only knew how to eat meat.
It felt like a drowning man grabbing onto a log.
Regardless of whether the wood is rotten or not, grab it first and then talk about it.
Everyone is tired of the four words "healthy eating"
"Balanced diet", "Eat more fruits and vegetables", "Less oil and less salt"...
After hearing these words eight hundred times, my ears became calloused, but the flesh on my waist did not fall off.
Especially when weight loss reaches a plateau, the number on the scale does not move for half a month.
At this time, a "new method" suddenly appeared. Even if it means putting old wine into a new bottle, it is like a ray of light shining into life.
But this light may illuminate a pit
Whether it’s Copenhagen or keto, is it really easy to implement?
On the 7th day in Copenhagen, you can only drink water for lunch.
I was so hungry that I had stars in my eyes, and I still had to go to work, attend meetings, and deal with all the odds and ends in life.
What about ketosis?
When you go out for a meal, there are carbohydrate traps everywhere. The braised pork has sugar added, so you can't eat it. As for the sweet and sour pork ribs, you can only eat the so-called "vinegar pork ribs". Don't you think it's annoying?
When friends gather for dinner, you serve lettuce with oil and vinegar sauce next to you, like an ascetic.
In the final analysis, you are still "torturing" yourself
Throw your body, your will, and your wallet.
After a final twist and turn, I returned to the starting point, which was not even as good as the starting point.
That 13-day fairy tale is over.
The fantasy of eating meat has woken up.
You stand in front of the mirror, looking at that haggard face, yellow skin, and dull eyes.
Have you lost weight? Maybe.
Does it look good? not necessarily.
what do we want
Is it that skinny feeling that comes from hunger?
Or that restless lightness?
In fact, we all know the answer.
However, admitting that losing weight requires science, that it requires patience, and that it requires sweating, is more difficult than admitting that you have been deceived.
The four words of scientific weight loss are nothing but nonsense.
But it doesn't lie to you.
I won’t lie to your liver, your kidneys, or your aunt.
I won’t give you a harsh rebound when you are most proud.
I'm done.
Do you still want to try?
