It’s really annoying that every year at the beginning of spring, the thing called “Pioneering Union Hospital’s 21-Day Weight Loss Recipe” will fly back on time just like a migratory bird.
With just a few swipes of the phone, you can see content such as "Lost 10 pounds without rebounding", and statements such as "detoxification period and cellulite elimination period", paired with photos of boiled vegetables and chicken breasts, as if you have really obtained Xiehe's internal red-headed document.
But you may not know that in the real Union Medical College Hospital, there is no such thing as a "21-day recipe" posted on the wall for sale.
In 2025, they just opened a new clinic called "Weight Management Joint Clinic".
Listen to the name, management is not a quick fix.
People from the Department of Nutrition, Endocrinology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine will sit together to consult you.
Think about it, does this feel like an expert "review" of your body?
Why don't Concord experts give you a "recipe"?
Because you are not a can on the assembly line.
The versions that are widely circulated on the Internet, such as "breakfast is an egg" and "lunch is 150g of chicken breast", seem to make some sense.
However, if you take it to ask Professor Chen Wei of Union Medical College, there is a high probability that he will ask you in turn: Have you checked your liver and kidney function?
What's your body fat percentage?
Do you usually stay up late?
What I fear most about my body is "I feel".
Let’s talk about the high-protein method of “losing 8 pounds in 21 days”
There is a popular term recently called "high protein weight loss method".
It was indeed used by experts from Xiehe, and the effect was really powerful. Under the supervision of someone, I really lost 6 kilograms in 21 days.
But guess what that life is like?
In the morning, you need to take a spoonful of protein powder. At noon, you can only eat a small portion of the staple food, 100 grams of meat, and 250 grams of vegetables. The same is true in the evening, with a small portion of the staple food, 100 grams of meat, and 250 grams of vegetables. In the afternoon, you have to eat another spoonful of protein powder.
This is not eating, this is doing a chemical experiment.
The key point is that you need to go to the hospital first to be evaluated to see if your kidneys can handle it and then whether you are suitable for this method.
Existing within the scope of the Internet, someone posted a post claiming to follow this method to eat on their own. Then, below it, a bunch of people followed closely and asked: Have you been to the clinic?
You dare to eat it without looking?
That's medicine, not food!
Between "Pyongyang Reader" and "Pyongyang Patient" are the physical examination report and the doctor's eyes staring at you.
In fact, losing weight is an "anti-human" situation.
Let’s stop lying to ourselves.
Most of the sayings such as "the more you eat, the thinner you will become" and "the more you eat, the thinner you will become" and "the more you eat before losing weight", the more comforting you will.
It is true that true weight loss, even if it is a medical plan, must rely on being hungry for a while and craving for a while.
There was a girl who checked in on Douban. She woke up hungry at five in the morning and couldn't sleep. When she checked Douyin, she saw all the delicious food at a glance, which made her salivate and cheer her up.
This is real weight loss, it’s not about peaceful times, it’s about tossing and turning at five in the morning.
What’s more important than 21 days is “then what?”
"21 days" itself is a false proposition.
The body has a metabolic adaptation cycle. This cycle takes about 3 months and 21 days, which is not enough for the cells to react. The cells cannot respond with "Oh, the owner is losing weight."
Those who lose weight through extreme fasting lose mostly water and muscle. Once they return to a normal eating state, the body will retaliate and regain weight even more than before.
This is how the so-called "yo-yo effect" comes about.
Therefore, the "21-day high-protein method" promoted by Xiehe is actually the "vanguard force" of his entire weight loss plan and is used to make quick breakthroughs.
After the offensive operation is over, there are also situations such as "energy-restricted diet" and "5 + 2 light fasting". There are many forces like a large army to continue to hold the front in the follow-up.
If there is only a vanguard force, then they will go deep alone and will surely die.
Say something heartbreaking
Stop searching for "21-day weight loss diet from Union Medical College Hospital".
Those "quick-act cheats" that make you crazy are often the longest detours.
The weight loss methods that actually work are not some shocking secret tips, but the things you've heard so many times but can't do.
Drink enough 2000ml of water every day, change the beverage to tea, reduce the rice for dinner by 1/3, put down the mobile phone and go to bed before 11 o'clock, even if you only walk for 30 minutes a day.
It's that simple, yet so difficult.
The doctor from Xiehe University said it right, obesity is mostly caused by eating, drinking, and lying down.
Since it is a sin caused by life, we have to rely on life to pay it back little by little.
You can’t get rid of a lifetime of fat in 21 days.
But 21 days may allow us to learn how to have a good talk with our bodies.
