      It is now recognized that exercise is an effective means of losing weight, but this does not work for many obese people, or the results are not satisfactory. Some people blame exercise for being "useless" for weight loss. In fact, the reason why exercise is not effective in losing weight is not that simple. Let’s briefly analyze it here. Common reasons for weight loss failure include:

      ⑴Failure to adhere to weight loss exercise:

      Some people feel tired and unaccustomed when they start losing weight. After not practicing for long, I wanted to take a few days off. They don't understand that doing so will not consume energy at all. Because exercise will enhance gastrointestinal motility, increase appetite, and increase digestion and absorption. Many people have a great appetite after exercise, just because they insist on exercise , so that the heat will not accumulate. If you suddenly stop exercising, your appetite will not decrease, but your calorie appetite will slowly decrease. This will not only make it difficult to lose weight, but may even increase it. Therefore, the key to weight loss exercise is persistence, cultivating interest and realizing potential in the process of persistence. Persistence requires two conditions: first, choosing the right exercise program, and second, the daily amount of exercise must be appropriate. Improper selection of sports, or excessive exercise, will cause the body to tire prematurely, and may even damage joints, ligaments or bones. Exercise is often forced to stop because of this, and what is the word "persistence"?

      ⑵Failure to control diet:

      In addition to the issue of exercise, let’s look at whether exercise is combined with dietary treatment? For weight loss, exercise and diet control are inseparable and effective means, and both are indispensable. During weight loss, due to strong metabolism and enhanced gastrointestinal motility, appetite often increases, which brings certain difficulties to dieting. However, controlling diet is the only way to lose weight. If diet is not controlled, the weight loss effect is often not ideal, and weight gain may even occur. Therefore, it is necessary to go back and check the implementation of your diet plan and look for loopholes.
