On January 11, actor Jia Ling posted an article saying that she had made a movie during the more than a year since she disappeared, and at the same time successfully lost 100 pounds and became like a boxer. Related terms also dominated Weibo’s hot searches.
On the same day, artist Yuan Hong forwarded Jia Ling on Weibo and revealed some details of her weight loss. Yuan Hong bluntly said that he couldn't believe that Jia Ling had really lost 100 pounds, saying that Jia Ling had built herself into a boxer's physique in just one year, with about 10% body fat.
However, this figure of 10% body fat has been questioned by many netizens. After being complained about, Yuan Hong edited Weibo several times to modify the content, and has now removed the content about body fat.
It is possible to lose 100 pounds for more than a year
According to Metropolis Express, "Jia Ling has successfully lost 100 pounds for more than a year, which is equivalent to losing less than 10 pounds per month. This is possible. .” Chen Qiuxia, deputy director nutritionist of the Nutrition Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital) and national registered nutritionist, said, “The key is that it must be carried out under the comprehensive protection of a team of professional nutritionists and fitness coaches. "
Chen Qiuxia said that although Jia Ling's specific weight loss process is not currently known, it may be that she intensified her weight loss in the early stage, and then slowly and steadily continued to lose weight, or it may have been in the form of steady weight loss, but no matter where it is, In this way, it is possible to lose 100 pounds. But from a health and safety perspective, the duration should be at least 6 months. If you try to lose so much weight in a shorter period of time, your body may protest.
What is the concept of 10% body fat? Chen Qiuxia said that the fat content of normal adults accounts for 15%-20% of body weight. Fat content refers to the weight of fat in the human body as a proportion of the total body weight.
"In fact, unless it is required by professional athletes or special work, 10% body fat is not very recommended for women." Chen Qiuxia said that adult women's body fat is best controlled within 30%, and It is best to control body fat within 20% for men. "Low body fat for women can cause endocrine disorders, leading to problems such as abnormal menstruation."
Ordinary people must lose weight step by step
Cannot blindly pursue speed
Xu Yingying, director of the Endocrinology Department of Zhongshan Hospital in Zhejiang Province, said that actors gain weight and lose weight in a short period of time because of the needs of their roles. Ordinary people must lose weight while ensuring safety. To proceed step by step and not blindly pursue speed.
Xu Yingying said that winter is actually a good time to lose weight. When our body is in a relatively cold "stress state", the body will increase its basal metabolism in order to resist the cold. Losing weight in winter can often get twice the result with half the effort. However, it should be noted that no matter how you "emergencyly lose weight" before the holidays, you must still follow the principle of gradual progress. "You can't become fat by eating in one go, and you can't lose more than a dozen pounds in a month on a small basis, otherwise it will definitely affect your endocrine system, and the gain will outweigh the loss."
