Do you only need to focus on calorie consumption and intake to lose weight? Do you only need to focus on the ratio of muscle to fat to lose weight? Is the ketogenic diet all you need to lose weight? Light fasting? Vegetable juice? Low carb? …
Any weight loss method that doesn't talk about "fixed weight" is just a hooligan!
If you: drink cold water and gain weight, look at the cake and you will gain weight;
If you: continue to overwork, the more tired you are, the hungrier you will be, the hungrier you will be, the more you will eat, and the more you will eat, the more tired you will be;
If you: diet for a long time to lose weight, it never works;
If you: used to be a weight loss drug taster, a processed food lover, and have repeatedly failed on the road of self-struggle...
The fault is not yours, please use the guidance of this book to get back on track.
1. The author is a bariatric surgeon with extensive medical practice. His experience with a large number of patients suffering from weight problems inspired him to write. This book puts forward the theory of "fixed weight" and combines it with the author's rich medical practice to provide an effective way for readers who really want to lose weight but can't stick to it.
2. This book is easy to understand and the language is interesting. Although it covers a multi-disciplinary background such as medicine, biology and geography, and has a lot of professional knowledge, the author uses less professional terms. Instead, he uses words and explanations that can be understood by the general public. He also uses pictures to help the public better understand the content.
3. This book focuses on the weight loss issue that is of concern and troubled all over the world. It explores the relationship between us and food from the perspective of metabolism, and points out the past mistakes that the public believed that failure to lose weight was due to poor self-control and the erroneous ways of dieting to lose weight. It helps readers to lose weight efficiently and healthily.
Reader comments
Just like my girlfriend, she always feels that she is fat, but in fact it may be a problem with her weight. The book also mentioned a lot of misunderstandings about weight loss, which reminded me of my mother, who always tried all kinds of weird ways to lose weight. I must recommend this book to them so that they can lose weight healthily.
Let me objectively talk about my views on this book. First of all, I would like to express my admiration for the author. The scientific core of this book is worth learning from. The three major physiological principles proposed in the book: body weight fixed point theory, vicious cycle of hormone imbalance, and epigenetic inheritance. Its impact on cognition is simply subversive, because it is quite different from China's current weight loss concept. But this is also the shortcoming I want to say. Unlike the Chinese way, the content of this book is quite limited. The Western-style healthy lifestyle recommended in the book (grass-fed meat, cold-pressed oil) is contrary to Chinese cooking habits (staple food relies on rice and noodles). Perhaps because the author was a British surgeon, he ignored the dietary traditions of Asians. When I reached 70%, I felt that it was a waste of time to continue reading, because the weight loss lifestyle envisioned by the author was too ideal and too extreme. As for "prepare meals by yourself and avoid processed foods", is this realistic in China? Not to mention anything else.
This should be the best book I have read this year. I originally read it because I wanted to lose weight, but he really gave examples, explanations, and summaries of the factors that affect obesity step by step through chapter after chapter. As a liberal arts student, I read it with gusto. Who doesn't pay attention to health? Understanding how the obvious conclusions are reached will help you better understand the true meaning of health.
The explanation of the fixed weight point is indeed a more systematic weight loss concept, but the plan given in the book is not suitable for Chinese-style cattle and horses, and requires people who have money and leisure and can completely change their eating habits. At the end of the day, it turns out that there are not many foods that can be eaten daily, and there are even fewer delicious ones. In addition, it is recommended to do strength training several times a week, so it is impossible not to lose weight. Maybe it is a method that is not easy to rebound, but I really cannot strictly implement it and can only refer to it selectively.
Even book lovers who don't need to control their weight can read this book. This book contains rich medical knowledge and biochemical metabolism knowledge, which can help us understand our body better and help us live a healthy life.
This book uses a large number of examples when describing the principles. Although it is easy to understand, it also makes the narrative lengthy.
The book contains useful suggestions that are feasible for most people:
1. Get enough sleep and stay happy (even just watching a comedy) to lower cortisol levels.
2. Control carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar to reduce insulin levels in the body. (I think this can also be paired with watching "Sugar Control Revolution")
Many opinions shocked me
It's nice to read. Newbies can understand a lot of knowledge points. It's easy to understand.
Understand the principles of weight loss from the root to make weight loss easier.
Easy to understand, I want to buy a paper version for my collection
I have been taught that the key to weight loss is a fixed weight. The weight loss plan given by the author is good, but it is difficult to implement.
For me, this is a subversion of my previous books on healthy eating, especially on edible oils. I was shocked that some so-called scientific research and health guidelines turned out to be like this.
It's so shocking. It turns out that the factor responsible for obesity is the fixed weight.
After reading most of it, human food has driven the development of many industrial chains in history, and at the same time, the choice of human food has become a profit-making means for traders and manufacturers.
The book is a good book and it talks very well about losing weight.
The knowledge about weight loss has increased again! It's quite useful to me.
Hope to see more good books like this!
