Why do you gain weight after exercise?

Because of the increase of glycogen and the storage of water, your weight seems to increase.

1, directly consumes a lot of calories, oxidizes fat and loses weight.

2, improve the body's metabolic consumption, increase daily energy consumption, which can also achieve the purpose of losing weight.

It seems that under the action of these two points, it is "heinous" for us not to lose weight after exercise. Why do many people find that they have gained a lot of weight after a few days of exercise? ? Glycogen in the body increases water retention after exercise.

In fact, the weight gain after sudden exercise without exercise is not mainly the increase of fat, but the increase of glycogen and the existence of water in the body.

During exercise, we consume muscle glycogen and liver glycogen. They are the first energy-supplying substances in exercise. Some data show that their total stock in human body is between 250 grams and 400 grams ... After exercise, due to the stimulation of exercise, the body generally stores more glycogen than before exercise.

: weight weight is the weight measured naked or wearing work clothes with known weight. In traditional medicine in China, weight is the name of disease. Physical fatigue is heavy. Su Wen's "On Yin and Yang as the Overall Situation": "Fifty years old, heavy, hard of hearing." Weight gain is closely related not only to the growth of bones, but also to the growth of muscles and fat.

Weight growth trend: during adolescence, muscle development is more prominent. When the height grows rapidly, the muscle grows obviously by increasing the length; When the height growth slows down, the muscles, mainly muscle fibers, thicken and increase obviously, so they gain weight.
