How much weight do you need to lose to not be water? Does being hungry at night mean you are burning fat?

Many people who want to lose weight only pursue losing weight. Sometimes the few pounds they lose are just water, not fat. But how can you tell whether the weight you lose is water or fat? This requires looking at the changes in your body fat.

If you diet to lose weight, then the weight you lose at the beginning is actually water weight. The water content in the human body is as high as 70%. If you lose 10 kilograms, then 2 kilograms are water. If you only diet, fat will not burn much, so what you lose in the early stage is water. If you control your diet and exercise at the same time, then if you lose 5 kilograms, only 1 kilogram is water, and most of the weight you lose is fat. When losing weight, our fat also begins to burn, which means that if you lose water, fat will not be burned. Fat will be lost slowly at the beginning because our body needs fat to meet our daily needs. After we have been exercising for a period of time, our body will adapt and burn fat, and we will lose weight faster at this time.

Not necessarily. When there is no food in our stomach to break down glucose to provide us with energy, the body will prompt the brain that we are hungry. When we are hungry, we are not actually consuming fat, so don't think that starving yourself can help you lose weight. Especially at night, there are still a few hours after dinner. If you eat too little, you can't help but have a midnight snack at night, so you can choose some foods that are more filling so that you won't be hungry too quickly at night. 70% of our body is water. Some people feel that their meat is very loose, so they think that the water content in their body is relatively high, but in fact it is fat. If the fat in the body is high, it will affect your health, so you need to lose weight and increase muscle content.

1. You can try to measure your waist circumference for comparison. Generally speaking, if your waist circumference becomes significantly smaller, then what you have lost is fat. This is a good verification method.

2. Look at our belly button, because if the fat is cut off, our belly button will be much sunken and there will be very little meat around the belly button.

3. Try to wear the clothes you wore before. If you find that the pants have become bigger, then it is obvious that what we have cut off must be fat, because if the pants are too big, we must have lost weight.

4. Try to pull our skin. Generally, if there is too much fat, it is difficult to pull our skin because there is too much fat under the skin. If we pull out our skin easily, it is obvious that what we cut off must be the fat.

5. Check to see if there are any obvious changes in our body curves. If there are obvious changes, then it is obvious that what we have lost is fat.

Losing water will also change your body shape, and you will look a little thinner, but this change in body shape is not significant. What you should lose when losing weight is fat. Losing weight through dieting and other methods is to lose water, and the weight becomes lighter for a while, but the fat does not decrease. In the early stage of weight loss, especially after dieting and exercise, it is indeed water that is lost, and less water will indeed make you lose weight. But after a period of time, the fat will eventually decrease and you will start to lose weight slowly. So losing weight is not about how much less you eat in a few days, but how much less you eat and how much exercise you do in a year or several years. All things are valuable in persistence, no matter whether you lose water or fat, as long as you feel more relaxed than usual. Remember, at any time, you must not feel full.
