In-depth analysis of the main reasons for weight loss failure among Chinese women: Reshaping S·H·E's new concept of healthy weight loss

Like all girls trying to lose weight, you've been filled with hope time and time again, only to be disappointed time and time again! Even in the United States, a country known for its strict laws, the weight loss market is rife with misinformation and deception! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission, and the National Association of Attorneys General have jointly issued weight loss guidelines, emphasizing that all popular weight loss methods are essentially unable to withstand the test of time and are often full of misinformation and deception! A survey by the China Consumers Association on existing weight loss products shows that: their effects are generally exaggerated, there are no magic bullets, and 94% of users experience adverse reactions, including severe low blood pressure, fatigue, vomiting, and diarrhea.

The chaos in the weight loss market is the inevitable result of the complete failure of existing weight loss methods. The 21st-century "low-fat, low-calorie" thermodynamic weight loss concept has, on the one hand, contributed to the global spread of obesity, and on the other hand, caused the failure of all existing weight loss methods, leaving nutritionists and doctors struggling in the dark! Why do people suffer so much yet still fail to lose weight? The reason is actually quite simple. Over 60% of girls lose weight for beauty, only 10% are concerned about health; over 90% aim to reduce belly, waist, hips, or legs, relying solely on weighing themselves and looking in the mirror; over 60% use dieting (including direct dieting and diet pills), and less than 25% engage in moderate exercise. In other words, popular weight loss methods primarily rely on dieting, with weight loss as the main goal.

There are more than 13 misconceptions about weight loss, including: exercise is ineffective in the short term but effective in the long term; dieting is effective in the short term but ineffective in the long term; taking diet pills will make you lose weight for a month but age you by three years; and using various (more than 10) unorthodox weight loss methods will only make you fatter and thinner. But all these failures can be summarized in two sentences: malnutrition damages health; and the pain and suffering are unbearable.

We want S·H·E! Slim, giving you a slender figure. We want to be slim, but even more importantly, healthy; Health, no price to pay for weight loss; Enjoy, the only reason to stick to it; Enjoy a slim figure, Enjoy health, Enjoy life. Here, S·H·E represents a brand new health concept: Don't let weight loss become a heavy burden. Guide yourself to lose weight in the right way, correct unscientific diets, make yourself healthier and more energetic, and make your life healthier and brighter. Isn't that a wonderful thing? To achieve S·H·E, you must first break free from previous misconceptions and undergo a mental revolution.

What animal is the fattest? Probably the pig! Pigs eat grain, but their fat accumulates! The animal with the best physique is probably the leopard, and leopards only eat meat! Wolves eat sheep, sheep eat grass, but the sheep are fat and the wolves are lean. Some experts believe that a slimming diet is mainly a low-fat diet. This is a completely wrong view. In fact, all carnivores (high-fat diet) are slim, while all herbivores (low-fat diet) have big bellies. If you mainly follow a low-fat diet, the calories are actually mainly from rice, noodles, or potatoes, and you will only get fatter and fatter, just like feeding fat pigs or fat ducks with soybeans and corn feed.

Thirty years ago, there were almost no obese people in China, except for some officials, the wealthy, and the sick. Today, nearly one-third of Chinese people are overweight! The vast majority of Black Africans are very thin, yet nearly half of Black immigrants to the United States are overweight! Has the genetic makeup of Chinese and Black people changed? Impossible. It's the dietary structure and lifestyle that have changed! The most significant change is the increase in refined sugar and starch intake, followed by a decrease in physical labor and exercise. From a physiological and nutritional perspective, both animals and humans need fat. If there is insufficient fat in the diet, the body will synthesize large amounts of fat. Specifically, starch enters the body and is converted into blood sugar, stimulating insulin secretion, which carries the sugar from the blood and synthesizes it into fat for storage. First, it's stored in the abdomen and waist, then in the limbs and head, and finally only in the internal organs and blood.

Before agricultural and culinary civilizations, our ancestors were robust and slender, their diet primarily consisting of meat, with little to no grains or tubers. Carbohydrates played a negligible role in their diet, mainly found in fruits, vegetables, fungi, algae, and nuts, accounting for less than 10% of their total calorie intake. What foods are best for weight loss? Scientists from Harvard and other universities have recently discovered that it's not low-fat, low-calorie foods like rice, noodles, bread, potatoes, and bananas, but rather low-sugar, low-carbohydrate foods like meat, fish, eggs, and nuts. Why do we gain weight from grains but not from meat? Grains are rich in starch, and both starch and sugar are carbohydrates. Scientists have found that carbohydrates (excluding dietary fiber) are converted into blood sugar after entering the body, stimulating insulin secretion. Some of this blood sugar is carried to cells for energy, while excess blood sugar is sent to the liver to synthesize fat (excluding glycogen). The more refined the carbohydrates, the greater the fluctuations in blood sugar and the greater the nutritional deficiency. Fluctuations in blood sugar and nutritional deficiencies may cause short-term hunger and cravings, but in the long term, they can decrease the sensitivity of your body's cells to insulin, leading to insulin resistance. This reduces the efficiency of converting blood sugar into energy, making you feel weak and lethargic. This "gluttonous and lazy" lifestyle can easily lead to obesity, making you look like a pig or sheep! Meat, fish, and eggs, on the other hand, contain virtually no carbohydrates and do not affect blood sugar (the "glycemic index" is zero), thus not stimulating insulin secretion. Nuts, while containing some carbohydrates, have little impact on blood sugar, resulting in a low "glycemic index." Eating these foods will give you plenty of energy and a stable appetite, making you "easy to eat and lazy," and keeping you slim, like a leopard or wolf!
