How do nutritional supplement during this period both comprehensive and does not cause obesity should grasp the following three key points, show body weight management consultant, well-known network of private religion Jinshan in the “we have very good woman does not gain weight,” a book described in detail.
First, physiological changes
Features: After puberty, physical development quickly, showing an obvious secondary sexual characteristics, such as height, weight and significant growth, female breast development, the body gradually fullness.
It should be noted that the increase in body weight during this period, including not only the size of fat cells increases, but also including cell division caused by the continued increase in the number of fat cells. Increase in the fat cells will not disappear. So, after this period the weight of the weight management have a direct impact.
Solution: We must correct view of adolescent weight gain. As long as the body mass index to the extent permitted, belonged to the healthy, which is the normal physiological characteristics. The other hand, a balanced diet, reasonable exercise, proper weight control.
