The need to lose weight and improve physique in a short time is increasingly popular, especially when many contents on social networks promote body-changing methods after only a few weeks of exercise and dieting. However, fitness and nutrition experts believe that losing weight too quickly can put pressure on the body and make it difficult to maintain results for a long time.
Many people have lost significant weight, but after a period of time, they gain weight again. This is a fairly common situation in the process of weight control.
According to fitness trainer Raj Ganpath, founder of Slow Burn Method (India), rapid weight loss programs often rely on sharply reducing calories and increasing exercise intensity in a short time. These methods can bring clear initial results such as rapid weight loss, slimmer body or improved energy. This makes many people feel confident and have more motivation to continue exercising.
However, the human body usually adapts better to gradual changes. When under too much pressure from strict dieting or continuous high-intensity exercise, the body may gradually fall into a state of fatigue and difficulty maintaining for a long time.
Many people have difficulty maintaining weight after weight loss not entirely due to lack of determination but because the body has not yet adapted to the rapid pace of change.
After a long period of strict dieting or high-intensity exercise, some people may feel tired, lose motivation and find it difficult to maintain new habits. When returning to the old lifestyle, weight often easily increases again. Continuously pursuing the goal of rapid weight loss can also make many people feel pressured or disappointed if the results are not as desired.
Meanwhile, people who maintain a stable figure for a long time often change their habits step by step instead of forcing their bodies to change too quickly in a short time.
This may include adjusting your diet, gradually increasing exercise, and maintaining habits that fit your daily life. Although the rate of change is slower, this usually helps the body adapt better, while limiting weight gain again.
Weight loss or body shape improvement should not only focus on the rate of change. More importantly, build a healthy lifestyle that the body can maintain for a long time.
