95% of people who lose weight by dieting gain
most of the weight back within 3 to 5 years.
Often times more fat is gained back due to
yo-yo dieting.
- Most diets restrict your
caloric intake so much that your metabolism
slows down.
- Drastically reducing calories can slow
your metabolism and hinder the weight loss
process
- Very subtle decreases in calories may
result in more permanent weight loss
- If too few of calories are being
consumed, simultaneous adjustments should
be made
- Increase calories throughout day by
eating 3 balance meals and 2-3 snacks
- Increase anaerobic activity and aerobic
activity
- Dieting may result in
depression, which is counter-productive to
losing weight.
-Depriving yourself of food can lead to
depriving yourself of social events. You
may give up eating meals out or eating with
friends because you don't want to eat
something off your diet. This can lead to
depression and possible overeating to
compensate for what you’re
missing.
- Most diets don't encourage
lifestyle changes.
-Making temporary changes in eating habits
or eating prepackaged foods from weight
loss programs will facilitate weight loss.
However, when you reach your goals or go
off the weight loss program, you maybe more
likely to return to old eating habits and
gain the weight back (and possibly more).
To have permanent weight loss, you must
make permanent changes in food choices and
eating habits.
- With very low calorie diets,
weight loss is usually lean body
weight.
-Diets that severely restrict caloric
intake, facilitates loss of lean body
weight as opposed to fat weight. This can
result in a person who isn't overweight,
but has a high body fat composition.
