Weight Losing 3: Clinical assistance

"Doctor, I control my diet and exercise regularly, why can't I lose weight?"

"Doctor, losing weight is so hard, are there any shortcuts or tricks? (lol)"

"Doctor, I'm busy with work and taking care of my child, I don't have much time to exercise, but I really want to lose weight!"

"Doctor, I exercise regularly, but I always have cravings and feel like eating something, what should I do?"

I receive your concerns, and I will do everything I can to help you achieve your goals. If you still can't lose weight despite proper diet and regular exercise, perhaps you have a Phlegm-damp or Dampness Body Constitution, and there are Chinese medicine prescriptions that can help dry dampness and wipe out phlegm. Or maybe you don't drink enough water, have accumulated fecal matter in your body, or even suffer from constipation, and there are Chinese medicine prescriptions that can help moisten and promote bowel movements to solve these problems.



For those who want to cheat or unable to exercise, I still hope you can squeeze out a little time to exercise (For your own good). Maybe just start with one day a week for 10 to 30 minutes, sweat a little. Some prescriptions can indeed increase the body's basal metabolic rate, increase the efficiency and speed of fat burning, and simulate the situation of exercising and secreting adrenaline, thereby achieving the effect of weight loss.

Some people are naturally thin, even if they eat a lot or have snacks every day, they still look like bamboo sticks. Maybe it's just because genetics, or maybe their gastrointestinal absorption is naturally poor (Which means they can only get little nutrition from diet).

 Basically, people gain weight when the calories they absorb are greater than the calories they consume, and then a large amount of fat is accumulated around the abdomen. Some prescriptions can reduce the absorption of glucose, carbohydrates, and even fat, directly reducing the amount of calories entering the body; while other prescriptions can reduce the generation of fat, both of which can achieve the effect of weight loss.



What about cravings? Sometimes it's just a sweet tooth, sometimes it's because you still feel a little hungry and can eat something. These can all be handled. Some prescriptions can affect taste buds, hinder the taste buds' reaction to sugar, reduce the pleasure that the body can get from sugar, and then reduce the intake of sugar; some prescriptions can use their own volume or texture advantages to provide consumers with a good sense of satiety with low calories , both of which can achieve the effect of weight loss.

One small point to add is the importance of measuring waist circumference. Some people may be frustrated that they eat very moderately, have a regular schedule, exercise regularly, and drink a lot of water, but still cannot lose weight. You should know that muscle is heavier than fat , so when you  get rid of fat and increase muscle for the first time, your weight will linger or even slightly increase for a period of time. But when the muscle increases to a certain extent, because the heat generated by the muscle itself is greater than that of fat, the weight will decrease. Measuring waist circumference regularly every day and keeping a record can remind you that if the waist circumference decreases, it means that the fat has decreased. This is a temporary period  for muscle to grow and basal metabolic rate to increase.
