YoYo Diets Seldom Produce the Desired Results

Yo-yo dieting can lead rebound weight gain due vicious cycles of adaptive thermogenesis triggered by the inefficient approach to weight loss. Weight cycling (cycle of weight gain, weight loss, and weight regain) is not limited to those suffering from obesity. It is an unfortunate consequence particularly for young women, who are unhappy with their appearance. It may also be a precursor for weight control problems later in life. The body goes into starvation mode causing the fat re-gain to exceed the fat loss. With a less effective metabolic rate and an increase in appetite, it can continue to cause future weight gain and eventual obesity. Rather than seeking a diet that produces immediate results, make sure your plan avoids weight cycling.

Fad Dieting Often Leads to Weight Regain

Long term weight loss takes time and there are many dangers associated with fad or crash diets that are real, including:

• fad dieting can cause lasting injury to your health
• fad dieting is a precursor for eating disorders
• fad dieters often feel fatigued
• fad dieting causes electrolyte imbalances
• fad dieters are always waiting to be thin

Don’t take chances with your health. Choose a personalized menu plan that supports healthy weight loss. One that is truly sustainable.

Adopt a Healthy Outlook to Avoid Failed Attempts

It is true that many weight loss plans fall short in the end. However, that is most often due to the diet or menu plan being too restrictive to sustain. If you try to lose weight without the right outlook, you will find the journey harder and more difficult than it should be. Too often, people try to shed weight in the worst state of mind. Instead of trying to be healthier, they only focus on trying to fix things about themself. Adjust your outlook for your reality. For example, cutting calories does not mean you have to eat less food. High fiber foods and whole grains take longer to digest, which means they will fill you up and keep you feeling full longer. So, before you eat something, or allow someone else to influence your food decisions, think about the goals you'll be missing out on if you give in to the indulgence.
