Dieting – why do I put all the weight back on … and more?
[26 January 2012 - 17h45]
The more you diet, the more likely you are to put weight on again. In fact, this is true of 80% of dieters after a year. It’s known as the “yo-yo effect”.
Often, after losing weight, if you don’t commit to a stabilisation phase and then adopt an ongoing balanced diet, the weight gained can be even greater than the weight lost. The restriction phase that follows should therefore be even longer and more drastic because we need to lose even more weight. And the more we diet, the more difficult it becomes.
Dieting involves learning to balance your diet. It also means adopting this balanced diet over the long term. Which is why a weight loss treatment must always be done under the supervision of a nutritional specialist. A specialist will be able to help you to improve your lifestyle in ways such as taking up exercise.
