A 35-year-old office worker often does not eat regular meals and only relies on lettuce salads and nutrition sticks to recharge. He lost 15 kilograms in one month, but after he resumed his diet, his weight quickly rebounded. After half a year, he was even heavier than before the weight loss competition. He was called the "rubber man" by his colleagues. The doctor reminds that this "yo-yo effect" not only affects appearance, but will even increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by 8% to 16%. The better way to control weight through correct and sequential weight control is.

I lost 15 kilograms in a month. I relied on lettuce salad and nutrition stick to fill my food. I was soaked in. I was so tired that I was so tired before summer. I was so anxious that I wanted to lose weight before summer. The 35-year-old female office worker competes with her friends to lose weight. She loses 15 kilograms in a month and only relies on lettuce salad and nutrition sticks to fill her stomach. She often skips meals.

Although the internal weight dropped in the short term, her original dietary habits were restored after the game, and her weight quickly rebounded. After half a year, she was even heavier than before the game, and she was called the "rubber man" by her colleagues. In order to lose weight again, she started to have a high diet again, which caused period disorder, pain and physical and mental fatigue. She was affected by abnormal physical condition and went to the hospital. After examination, she found that she already had moderate fatty liver, and her insulin impedance and blood sugar value were also in the early stage of diabetes.

Extreme weight reduction is prone to gain weight, and it increases the incidence of high blood pressure and diabetes

Xu Zhiyu, a medical doctor, said that the key to reducing weight is not just lighter weight, but health. After rapid weight reduction in extreme methods, it is easy to cause weight reversal, forming the so-called "yo-yo effect". In addition to the unsatisfactory appearance, it may even endanger cardiovascular health.

Xu Zhiyu said that a healthy weight reduction rate will reduce the initial weight by 5% to 10% within about 2 to 3 months. Taking 100 kg adults as an example, the reasonable weight reduction range is 5 to 10 kg in 2 to 3 months; if the weight is reduced by more than 5% of the initial weight within one month, it may cause problems such as decreased basement elimination, poor immunity, hair loss, irregular periods, and even poor stomach.

A study published in the journal JAMA Network in 2024 pointed out that frequent BMI fluctuations are independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and may increase risk by 8% to 16%.

Xu Zhiyu said that correct and sequential weight control is the better way. Incorrect or rapid weight reduction can easily cause a large weight reversal, and at the same time, it will increase the internal fat accumulation and lipid rate. The BMI fluctuation caused by this method is not only related to vascular malfunction and increased blood pressure, but also affects the stability of blood sugar regulation and overall epidemiology, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

"211 Meal Plate Method" to control diet. With medicine and sports

Xu Zhiyu said that the 35-year-old office worker who was seeking treatment, under the guidance of her professional medical team, she adopted the "211 Meal Plate Method" to adjust her dietary habits and matched with appropriate medicine and sports plans. After 3 months, her body fat decreased by 8%, and her glycated hemoglobin returned to the normal range. Not only did she lose weight, she also successfully reversed the early stage of diabetes, and her physical condition improved significantly.

"Weight reduction should be a marathon, not a sprint competition." Xu Zhiyu emphasized that through professional medical intervention, he helped patients establish correct diet patterns and determine personal weight reduction methods. At the same time, weight reduction at an appropriate speed can not only effectively reduce fat, but also maintain physical health and avoid extreme misconduct.
