Will dieting cause muscle loss? Will dieting affect menstruation?

We all know that there are many ways to lose weight, and most people choose diet. It is difficult to lose muscle, so let's find out whether diet will cause muscle loss. Will diet affect menstruation?

Simply reducing fat will generally not cause muscle loss. If you only look at short-term results, skipping dinner to lose weight will indeed cause muscle loss. Fat reduction is achieved by eating less high-fat foods, increasing exercise, and eating more crude fiber foods. Skipping dinner will lead to insufficient energy intake. If there is not enough energy, the body will panic and will be anxious to find an energy source as soon as possible. Its essence is to convert fat into muscle at a ratio of 7:1. Not only will it not reduce muscle, but it will also thicken muscle fibers to achieve a bodybuilding effect. Muscle is the most adaptable organ in the human body. Under the condition of adequate nutritional intake and no training, the amount of muscle depends entirely on how much strength it needs to bear. However, it should be noted that if you simply fast to reduce fat, it will indeed cause the water in the muscles to be lost, causing the muscle fibers to atrophy, thereby reducing muscle.

If the diet is properly controlled and does not affect normal menstruation, you can adjust it according to your own condition. In normal times, staple food is indispensable. Cereals, meat, eggs, and dairy products should be selected well. A light diet, small meals, less snacks, and more fresh vegetables and fruits will help improve the effect of weight loss. During this period, you should pay attention to properly control high-calorie, high-fat, and high-sugar foods, and arrange your daily diet plan reasonably. You can drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed, plus an egg or oatmeal as a meal, and don't eat supper often. Girls in adolescence need a lot of nutrition during this period to ensure their normal growth and development. If dieting leads to insufficient nutrient intake and irregular menstruation, it will have a great impact on your future health and may even affect fertility.

Dieting to lose weight may disrupt gastrointestinal function and even cause stomach problems. The stomach is the basis of human health. The result of long-term dieting is that the stomach is artificially idle when it should be moving and working. In the long run, the stomach's operating ability will decline, the stomach function will be disordered, and it can no longer withstand a little bit of training and challenge. At the same time, the stomach that has been idle for a long time has to endure the torture of being soaked in excess gastric acid. Because there is no food to digest, gastric acid erodes the mucosa, which will soon cause congestion, edema, erosion, ulcers or more serious diseases. When we eat, the stomach will secrete a certain amount of gastric acid to digest these foods, but if you over-control the intake of food, the gastric acid is not consumed, and the excess gastric acid will irritate the gastric mucosa, which may cause chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers and other problems. In addition, because of long-term dieting, the body's cells are not fully nourished, and the brain and skin will be damaged, resulting in symptoms such as memory loss and skin sagging. In addition, it may also cause endocrine disorders.

If you take diet pills with banned ingredients, they will speed up your metabolism and your heart rate, causing you to be unable to fall asleep. Long-term overload training will cause the sympathetic nerves to be continuously excited and unable to relax. At this time, "sympathetic overtraining" will occur, and the body will be continuously stressed, the spirit will be excited and irritable, the sleep quality will be poor, and the resting heart rate and blood pressure will rise. In order to lose weight quickly, many people will exercise a lot at once, which will make the body extremely tired, but they still can't fall asleep in bed and feel a little excited. Or even if you fall asleep, you will wake up in the middle of the night. Or you fall asleep, but still feel tired when you get up the next day. This is not worth the loss, and the body is in a state of excessive fatigue, which will also affect the efficiency of fat burning.
