During festivals, you gain three pounds. As the New Year holiday has just ended, have you noticed that your weight is "rubbing, rubbing, rubbing" up. So, some people wonder how to effectively get rid of the trouble of weight gain after holidays and festivals? How to get rid of the sweet burden of "gaining three pounds every festival"? After the holiday, many people gain weight due to a combination of factors such as diet, daily routine, and psychology. With an increase in food intake, a decrease in exercise, and cold weather, some people crave more high-fat, high sugar, and high salt foods. An increase in total calorie intake and a decrease in expenditure can lead to weight gain. So how to effectively control weight during festivals and holidays? Chen Wei, Chief Physician of Clinical Nutrition Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: Before the festival, it is important to have a clear understanding of how much to eat in order to maintain one's weight. Eat too much at noon and eat less at night; Eating too much at night, encourage yourself to be more active and try to consume as much food as possible. Professor Fan Zhihong from the School of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University: After having a big meal during festivals, it is necessary to eat light food for the next three days, especially with less salt, sugar, and oil. After three or four days, weight may significantly decrease. Be cautious of alcohol, the "calorie assassin," during gatherings. Experts suggest that in order to maintain weight, in addition to controlling the amount of food consumed, one should also be wary of alcohol, the high-energy "calorie assassin. Some people believe that alcohol has low calories or that drinking alcohol without eating vegetables will not lead to weight gain. Experts say that these views are all incorrect. Chen Wei, Chief Physician of Clinical Nutrition Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: Two liang of wine topped two liang of raw rice and dough, if made into rice, would be 260 grams of rice. The carbohydrates contained in one gram of staple food, which we call carbohydrates, produce a total energy supply of four thousand calories, while one gram of alcohol, ethanol, produces seven thousand calories of energy, nearly double the amount of energy. Therefore, people who need to control their weight should try to reduce their alcohol intake during holidays and drink it appropriately. What should I do if I eat too much? The light fasting method can effectively control weight through a balanced diet. So, what if I can't hold back and eat too much? There are actually ways to solve this problem. Experts say that if you ate too much the day before and did not exercise, you can remedy it by fasting lightly the next day. Chen Wei, Chief Physician of Clinical Nutrition Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: We call it remedial diet, not to make everyone eat like this every day. It means eating more the day before. On the second day, one bag of milk or soybean milk, one egg, a medium sized fruit at noon, half a dozen or two staple foods for dinner, and half a jin of vegetables for one or two lean meat. I can have a normal meal tomorrow. Professor Fan Zhihong from the School of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University: During festivals, if you eat too much food, such as meat, then reduce the amount of meat. If you eat too many cakes and desserts, then try to control yourself and switch to refreshing fruits and vegetables. Don't fall into the trap of "sudden weight loss". For short-term weight gain, some people may adopt "sudden weight loss" methods, such as cutting off fluids or even using drugs without authorization. However, these weight loss methods are not advisable and may cause varying degrees of harm to the body. Experts say that most of the methods used for this "sudden weight loss" are through significantly reducing the total amount of food intake. Chen Wei, Chief Physician of the Clinical Nutrition Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: Often, an extremely low-energy diet is adopted to achieve rapid dehydration and weight loss, resulting in changes in body composition. The weight loss may not be mainly due to excessive fat, but rather excessive water. In addition, experts suggest that some weight management drugs are targeted at specific populations. If medication is used blindly, it may cause some serious health problems. Chen Wei, Chief Physician of the Clinical Nutrition Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: Adverse effects include gastrointestinal reactions and expressive reactions of other organs, such as missed menstrual cycles, hair loss, and constipation, all of which are harmful to the body.
