Crash Dieting Can Lead to Rebound Weight Gain
One of the biggest obstacles people face, when trying to lose weight, is the fact that American portion sizes have become mega super-sized. Changing your mindset and opting for smaller plates and bowls will put you back on track for true serving sizes that match those found on USDA product labels. Eating healthier to lose weight is all about identifying the nutritious foods you enjoy and cutting unhealthy processed foods from your diet. Since whole foods can be included in your diet for the rest of your life, your outlook should be positive and your personalized menu plans easy to follow. If your last resolution only included following a restrictive diet to lose weight, you may have already become frustrated by your body's starvation response, which likely caused rebound weight gain.
How to Avoid Weight Regain
When trying to lose weight it is equally as import to understand how to avoid weight loss regain, such as:
- how your body fights to get fat back
- how reverse metabolic response to dietary changes
- how a personalized diet plan can work forever
- why you need to find a diet and stick with it
- why you need to throw bad foods in trash
- importance of avoiding the clean plate club
Half the battle of losing weight and keeping it off lies in ignoring your negative self-talk and replacing it with a positive outlook about your new lifestyle and healthy eating behaviors.
YoYo Dieting Can Wreck Your Metabolism
No matter which fad diet you try, the data is in and Yo-Yo dieting doesn't work. At least not in the end, as almost no one keeps it off for five years. What does work are personalized menu plans with lifestyle changes and a good support mechanism. Even though you work diligently to lose weight, your body burns calories more slowly than normal after weight is lost, and faster than normal when weight is gained, so Yo-Yo dieting can throw your body's metabolic adjustments completely out of whack. Losing weight shouldn't be the goal you set, it should be the result that you seek. Your mindset should be to set small sustainable goals over which you have control. Try adding five servings of fruit and vegetables to your daily menu plan. It is doable and rewarding.
