Generally speaking, from about 25 years of age, the ratio of muscle to fat in the body gradually changes, with the proportion of muscle gradually decreasing and the proportion of fat gradually increasing. The part of the body that gains more weight is mainly fat. When the total fat content is too much or the local content is too much (distribution abnormal), weight gain, and cause certain impact on health is obese. According to the body mass index (BMI) recommended by the World Health Organization, in the Asian region, BMI is normal at 18.5-22.9, overweight at 23-24.9 and obese at more than 25.

There are many fat people in life who have worked hard to lose weight, but it didn’t take long for the weight to bounce back. How to keep the weight from rebounding after weight loss?
One, make a plan. If you used to eat large fish and meat, irregular diet, full a hungry meal. Then you have to correct these bad lifestyles from now on. You should be “out for in”, proper control of diet, eat only eight minutes full, so that your intake of energy to be lower than the energy you consume. Exercise should also be treated in this way, the number of days of exercise, what time to do, what items to do, should be recorded, for a weight loss before and after the control, in order to help develop a healthy lifestyle habits.
Second, exercise plus dieting, one can not be missing. Some people crave delicious food, dieting for a long time, you want to eat to quench your thirst. Think that as long as more exercise, it will be able to consume it. However, the weight loss effect by exercise alone is not obvious, research shows that even if you play basketball for half an hour a day, as long as you drink one or two more cans of sweet drinks or eat an extra bowl of rice, the hard-won weight loss results will be nullified. Therefore, in order to obtain lasting weight loss effect, in addition to exercise, but also from the diet should be reasonably regulated, one without the other.
Third, do not rush. As the saying goes, do not eat a bite into a fat. Weight loss also does not become thin with one less bite. No matter how much your weight loss goal to achieve, it should be reasonable. Understand that an obese person will never be as thin as a model unless he or she has a disease. Weight should be lost slowly, with a 10% weight loss possible in the first year. After one year set another goal of losing 10%. Be consistent in order to prevent the weight from returning to its original state.
