Why do you gain weight back after exercising to lose weight?

There are thousands of ways to lose weight in life, but I believe many people know that fasting to lose weight is not good for our body, so many people now choose exercise to lose weight. Because everyone believes that sweating a lot after exercise will reduce fat accumulation, and if you do this for a long time you will naturally lose weight. However, some people find that their weight has increased instead of decreased after exercise. So what causes this phenomenon?

The main reasons why exercise weight loss will rebound:

1. Improper selection of sports

Exercise for obese people is just like exercise for normal people under weight-bearing conditions. Therefore, when you start exercising, you should pay attention to choosing a good sport first. Generally, whole-body dynamic exercises (aerobic exercises) aimed at training the body's physical strength and endurance should be the main focus, such as cycling, dancing, walking, jogging, going up and down stairs, climbing hills, various ball games and gymnastics, skipping rope, swimming and walking in water, etc. Among them, cycling and swimming do not put heavy loads on the knee and foot joints, so they are more suitable for exercise for obese people.

2. Improper control of exercise volume

Whether weight loss exercises can achieve satisfactory results often depends on whether the amount of exercise is properly controlled. If the amount of exercise is too little and the excess calories cannot be consumed, the weight loss effect will not be ideal. Excessive exercise, which exceeds the body's ability to bear, will cause excessive fatigue, cause adverse reactions and affect health, and make it difficult to persist.

3. Failure to Persevere

The purpose of exercise to lose weight is to increase metabolism and consume excess fat in the body. A large amount of energy is consumed during exercise, and the immediate weight loss effect is the strongest. After stopping exercise, the body's vigorous metabolism will continue for a period of time, which is the so-called "after effect". This "after effect" lasts for a short time, generally no more than a day. If you exercise for 3 days and then rest for 3 days, the "after effect" may disappear, your appetite may increase and you may eat too much, which will offset the original weight loss effect and make all your previous efforts go to waste.

There are many ways to lose weight, but not every method is suitable for us, because everyone has individual differences, so when losing weight, we should reasonably evaluate our own conditions and make a choice. In addition, weight loss is a gradual process and you cannot rush for quick results, so read the above article to find out the reasons for weight loss failure.
