Have you joined this project that involves millions? On June 29, Ant Forest first released the progress of the "Scientific Weight Loss 100 Million Catties" project: from June 26 to 28, a total of 184,700 netizens have "stepped on the scale" and lost 102,600 catties in total, which is equivalent to an average of 0.56 catties per person.

More and more people are joining the scientific weight loss movement, with some netizens sharing their "negative results": "I'm dragging everyone down. I want to achieve the goal of 100 million catties, can Ant Forest quickly bring in more people?"

When your age arrives, even drinking cold water makes you gain weight? Middle-aged men are the most dedicated in losing weight

You might not believe it, but among the netizens participating in weight loss, men are 1.3 times the number of women, and middle-aged men are the absolute main force. A netizen joked: "Since the body fat scale from Ant Forest arrived at home, my fat has nowhere to hide. After weighing myself, my wife and kids immediately dragged me downstairs for 10 laps."

However, when it comes to metabolism, you can't deny being old. Data shows that the speed of weight loss is positively correlated with age. Among netizens aged 22 to 34, it's the easiest to lose weight, with an average of 0.58 catties. Starting at 35 years old, the balance of weight loss begins to tilt downward, with netizens aged 35 to 49 losing an average of 0.54 catties, which is not much different. However, netizens over 50 years old only lose an average of 0.38 catties. No wonder someone said, "When your age arrives, even drinking cold water makes you gain weight." However, it's okay, scientific weight loss is not about who loses weight faster, but who can stick to it longer.

Southerners are slimming down first! The weight loss amount is 1.5 times that of northerners

From Ant Forest's first week of data, we can see that not only do the climate and diet differ between the north and south, but the effect of weight loss also shows a gap. In the past few days, southerners have slimmed down first, and their weight loss is 1.5 times that of northerners. The top ten provinces and cities in terms of national weight loss are all in the south, namely Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, Shanghai, Yunnan, Guangxi, Hubei, and Guangdong. A northern netizen joked: "Sure enough, love for carbohydrates has become my stumbling block on the road to weight loss."

Netizens from different regions show slightly different levels of fat burning. Among them, the East China region lost as much as 59,000 catties, leading the country. All netizens in East China started "stepping on the scale" early, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai "postal area" turned into a "slim area".

Both Central China and South China regions not only entered the "grill mode" earlier in weather, but also had intense weight loss competitions, losing 15,000 catties and 14,000 catties respectively, almost equal. North China and Southwest China followed closely, with weight loss amounts of 6,900 catties and 4,600 catties respectively. While the Northwest and Northeast regions have only lost 1,800 catties and 900 catties so far, falling into the "relaxed zone" of weight loss. A Northeastern netizen confessed, "The temperature hasn't risen, so my fat can't decrease either."

Ant Forest staff said that more than 180,000 people have taken the first step in scientific weight management, which is a good start. Scientific weight loss is a long-term process of persistence, and we look forward to more people participating actively. Later, Ant Forest will continue to improve the public's awareness of scientific weight loss by using AI product capabilities and launch a series of incentives to encourage everyone to achieve the goal of losing 100 million catties.

As the largest health AI application in the country, "Ant Forest" launched the "Scientific Weight Loss 100 Million Catties" health campaign last week, hoping to help users manage their weight scientifically and protect their health. In the Ant Forest App, netizens can get a body fat scale for just 9.9 yuan in shipping cost, and for just one cent, they can bind the Ant Forest App to view 18 body indicators at any time, including weight, body fat rate, muscle mass, BMI, etc., and receive professional interpretations and exercise and diet advice from Ant Forest.
