• long term success depends on sustainable menus
• personalized diets focus on targeted fat loss — not muscle
• menus that manage sugar intake for increased fat burning
• personalized diet designed to restore correct portion sizes

Weight re-gain happens because of the extreme calorie deficit responsible for the initial weight loss that is too difficult to sustain.  Since the prevalence of dieting has increased in recent years, along with the number of people categorized as obese, researchers have questioned how intentional and unintentional cycles of weight gain and weight loss are affecting metabolic adaptation to episodes of yo-yo dieting. Researchers are identifying mechanisms by which weight cycling contributes to morbidity including hypertension, visceral fat accumulation, insulin resistance and changes in fatty acid composition.
