Yo-yo dieting increases body fat

If you repeatedly lose weight only to gain it back again, you face the risk of getting fatter and fatter. Better: to take the weight off slowly and exercise regularly.

The more drastic the diet, the harder the body works against it. When someone begins an extreme diet, his/her body suspects famine and reduces calorie consumption in order to limit weight loss. The result: when the dieter goes back to eating normally, the lost weight quickly returns to the hips. A person who repeatedly loses and gains weight faces the risk of becoming increasingly fatter. With quick weight loss the body sheds mostly water and non-fat body mass, e.g., muscle. When the weight is regained, it generally comes in the form of fat and remains on those who don’t get enough exercise. Nutrition experts therefore recommend a balanced low-calorie diet, physical exercise and long-term weight loss goals.
