I often hear some weight loss people say that they have eaten very little, but even drink water to gain weight. What to do? Is this really the case?
Look at the water he drinks, milk tea, cola, high-sugar drinks... Oh, my God! We want to tell you that "water" really can't carry this pot!
See what health experts have to say:
1
Gaining weight is actually the excessive accumulation of fat, and fat is the storage of "energy". The body's energy is mainly derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food.
Although vitamins, minerals, water, etc. play an important role in our health, they do not provide energy.
Any food that eats too much will make people fat, but water will not! This is because any food has energy. But water, whether it's cold water, or warm water, or boiling water, their energy is -- 0!
So no matter who you are, no matter how much you drink, it is impossible to accumulate fat.

Drink water is fat, then, you must drink not ordinary water, if you put Coke, soda, tea, milk tea, juice, coffee are considered "water", it will indeed drink fat!
The three main nutrients for the body's main energy storage/supply are sugar, fat and protein. One of the most direct energy supplies is sugar. After the sugar is consumed, the body will break down the fat for energy. Sugars can be converted into fats and certain amino acids (proteins are metabolized in the form of amino acids).
So, in this regard, if you want to reduce the amount of fat stored, then give the body as little sugar as possible.
Simply put: if you supplement too much "sugar", the fat in the body will be useless, and the sugar that cannot be consumed will also be converted into fat, and the storage will become your meat!
Many of the drinks that everyone loves to drink on the market are actually "sugar water" with a high sugar content! No wonder you get fat when you drink water!
There are a lot of bottled drinks on the market, and if you compare the energy they provide, you probably know why you get fat drinking these waters!
Among them, energy and carbohydrates (sugars) are the main objects of our comparison this time. Energy is mainly the factor that will "gain weight", and sugar is the main substance that provides energy in drinks.
With this table, we can simply calculate an account: a can of Coke is about 330ml, containing almost 35 grams of sugar, a sugar cube is calculated by 4.5 grams, and this can of Coke has 8 sugar cubes!
We choose 15 common drinks on the market for everyone, these drinks often appear on our holiday dinner table, if you are not careful, you really drink them as water!
The 15 samples were listed in two tables, focusing on sugar (carbohydrates) and energy, because they best reflect why drinking "water" can be fat.

Knowledge Q&A
ask
Do drinks labeled "zero energy" or "zero calories" really have no energy at all?
answer
According to the Mainland's "National Standards for Food Safety, General Principles for Nutrition Labeling of Prepackaged Foods" stipulates:
When the energy of each 100 ml or 100 grams of product is less than or equal to 17 KJ (kJ, about 4 kcal), it is allowed to indicate "no energy". That is to say, zero card is not zero energy.
Of course, relatively speaking, the energy of these drinks is indeed negligible.
Is the unhealthiness of carbonated drinks only reflected in gaining weight?
Drinking too much carbonated beverages can also have the following consequences:
1. Affects the digestive system. Carbonated drinks contain a lot of carbon dioxide can make people bloated, affect appetite, and even cause gastrointestinal dysfunction.
2. The sugar and acid substances in the beverage are easy to decay the tooth.
3. Drinking cola-based beverages regularly will reduce bone storage of calcium, and osteoporosis is 3 times more likely to occur than other people.
Expert interpretation: the advice to drink "water"
The real health is actually boiled water, drinking any drink can not replace the role of drinking boiled water. The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommend: drink plenty of water, adults 7 to 8 cups (1500 to 1700ml) per day, promote drinking boiled water and tea; do not drink or drink less sugary drinks.
When eating together, if you must drink drinks, weight loss people, or beauty lovers who do not want to gain weight, you can try to choose low-energy, low-sugar drinks according to the above table.
You can also learn to look at the nutrition facts of your drinks for yourself and choose the right one.

Many milk-containing beverages and lactic acid bacteria drinks on the market have added too much sugar in order to optimize the taste, and consumers should pay special attention when choosing.

As for coffee, there have been some debates in history, but the current more mainstream view is that coffee is a fairly healthy drink as long as a certain amount is controlled (2 cups a day, 300ml a cup).
Most of the commercially available bottled and canned coffee is sugary, so it is best to drink freshly brewed and freshly brewed coffee. If you can't stand the bitterness of coffee, it is a healthier combination to improve the taste and add milk. Of course, people who are sensitive to coffee should also pay attention to drinking less or not.
