Fat Loss, Weight Loss, and Diet Related Articles 

 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.

1. 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
   
2. 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.
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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.
