Does the brain selectively remember? To lose weight, use slimming apps to monitor your diet

The human brain is very interesting. We have never expected to eat snake skin, sheep head dishes, sour cheese, horse dishes, etc. We are lucky if we don't feel disgusted or reject these foods. However, foods like pizza, fried chicken, hot pot, pastries, barbecue, pork chops, ramen, etc. that we have tasted can make our mouths water just by imagining them (of course, this is limited to the foods we like).

People are ultimately "constrained," which means that the taste of food will be deeply imprinted in the memory of the brain. So, sometimes, even though we know it’s not right, we still reach out our hands, even unconsciously. If you don’t want to be stuck in a cycle of regretting what you ate, you can’t trust your brain.

The human brain has excellent cognitive functions, even surpassing computers, but sometimes when we look at the same thing, we can have different feelings because of optical illusions. Therefore, when losing weight, relying on your brain to remember what you have eaten is as stupid as running naked in winter. The brain cannot remember all the trivial details, such as a piece of chocolate or a candy that you put into your mouth unconsciously.

Whether you are one of those people who believes that “I will gain weight even if I don’t eat” or “I will not gain weight even if I eat”, please write down everything you eat in a week. People who gain weight actually eat the corresponding amount of food, and people who don’t gain weight actually only eat the amount that won’t make them gain weight. Even if you want to deny it, once it is recorded, the facts will be laid bare before your eyes. This is not an exaggeration, because the brain will remember according to its own will.

If you want to lose weight, you must "keep records". You don't have to write down all the details by hand. Just use your mobile phone to record what you eat when you eat (let the weight loss app calculate the calories). At the end of the day, remember to check whether you have eaten less protein or consumed too much carbohydrates, reflect on yourself and set new goals.

"Food 70%, exercise 25%, natural habits 5%" The success of weight loss depends on how to control the above three items.

Except for extreme cases such as those who eat fast food such as hamburgers every day and those who starve themselves to death, most people eat a fixed amount every day. Although there are slight differences between each person, the degree of difference is only between 10 and 15%.

What about exercise? There is a 0 to 25% difference between people who hardly exercise and those who exercise seriously.

The previous part mainly focused on dietary instructions, but in fact, without any one of them, there is no way to succeed. Therefore, only by planning your own menu and exercising moderately can you have an ideal body shape. If you are as thin as me but want to have muscles, you should adjust your menu and train with 2 to 3 kg dumbbells. In this way, you can have a healthy and sexy body.

From now on, let go of the negative energy in your heart and turn to positive thinking. Why not hum a cheerful song and start tailoring your own weight loss menu with a happy heart!
