The secret behind weight loss centers not letting you eat staple foods: the tricks of rapid weight loss

2026-05-23

Normally, people consume a certain amount of carbohydrates every day to help break down fat. But if...

If you adopt the Atkins diet, you can't eat carbohydrate-containing foods, so your body has to use protein.

This helps break down fat. So, although it seems like you're consuming a lot of protein, it's still not enough because it...

It will be broken down along with fat.

The process of protein and fat breakdown also produces "waste," because the protein breakdown process...

It will produce ammonia, which is toxic. The body will convert it into urea, which is then excreted in urine through the kidneys. Meanwhile,

The "waste" produced by incomplete fat breakdown is also excreted through urine. Therefore, this weight loss method...

Humans' urine has a strong odor, their breath also smells bad, and in severe cases, even their breath has a noticeable odor.

Why do weight loss centers not allow you to eat staple foods?

Many people have gone to weight loss centers. These centers claim to offer weight loss through massage or acupuncture, but almost all of them are ineffective.

They'll give you a diet plan that lists what foods you can't eat, and then tell you that you can only eat fish, meat, eggs, and vegetables.

Vegetables are unlimited, but staple foods, fruits, potatoes, etc., are prohibited.

Wait. Actually, this is the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet.

Fat is the body's stored energy. One gram of pure fat is equivalent to 9 kilocalories of energy. If a woman consumes...

1800 kcal (Recommended energy intake for adult women with light physical activity) is equivalent to consuming 200 grams of...

Fat. In other words, if you don't eat a single thing all day, and are completely starving, yet still maintain a normal work and lifestyle...

Even if you live longer, you can only reduce 200 grams of fat.

You can only lose 6 kilograms in a month. Besides, if you don't eat anything every day, you can't even last half a month.

Therefore, it's simply impossible to lose 1 kilogram of fat in two days! So, those claims of "losing 5 pounds in 3 days" are completely unfounded.

How can weight loss methods like "losing 2.5 kg" or "losing 20 catties (10 kg) in a month" be achieved?

Obviously, the weight lost cannot be entirely fat; it also includes protein and water. Dieting for weight loss...

The weight loss from diets like the low-carbohydrate diet (which eliminates staple foods) often includes water weight.

While it may seem like you can enjoy eating lots of meat and fish when using a diet that eliminates staple foods, the actual energy intake is actually quite low.

The portion was smaller than usual. People generally agree that braised pork belly tastes best with rice; eating only meat and eggs without rice is much less satisfying.

You can't eat much staple food. It may seem like you're eating whatever you want, but you'll soon find your appetite gradually decreasing.

In fact, the total energy intake is significantly lower than when eating with staple foods, and some of the protein intake is consumed through...

The heat dissipation and metabolism of urea are consumed, and less is actually used to replenish the body's protein.

Therefore, although the food consumed was high in protein, the total energy intake was reduced, and carbohydrates were also lost.

The body's protein-saving function means that protein is used "as fuel," meaning the body is still indirectly in a state of protein deficiency.

This is the state in which muscle mass not only becomes difficult to increase, but may even break down and decrease, as the body breaks down protein.

If you lose weight quickly, your body will lose weight rapidly.

At the same time, because the waste products produced need to be excreted through urine, the amount of urine excreted increases, leading to a deficiency in the body.

Water. People who use this method to lose weight need to drink a lot of water, but because of the large amount of urination, the body will still be in a state of water retention.

A state of reduction.

In addition, the excreted contents of the large intestine (food residue and microbial fermentation products, intestinal mucosal slough, etc.)

This also accounts for a portion of the weight, and when combined with the loss of protein and water, the overall result is rapid weight loss.

Excreting 50 grams of feces a day is achievable, especially with a reduction of 100 grams of fat and 100 grams of protein.

At the same time, 200-300 grams of protein-bound water are lost, as well as water excreted due to reduced sodium intake, adding up to...

That's about 1.5 kilograms. Many weight loss methods use this method to attract people. The so-called "water" during weight loss...

The reason for this is that we can "separate" things.

**Dieting leads to a decrease in basal metabolic rate and an increased risk of binge eating disorder**

**Excess fat can easily lead to adult-onset diseases, and improper weight loss can actually reduce muscle mass.** Dieting lowers basal metabolic rate, putting the body into energy-saving mode. Once normal eating resumes, a yo-yo effect can occur. Long-term appetite suppression can also lead to bulimia nervosa, characterized by uncontrollable binge eating and vomiting, severely impacting social...
