What is Yo-Yo Dieting?
Yo-yo dieting, or weight cycling, refers to the cycle of losing weight and
regaining the amount lost, or more. A weight cycle can range from small weight
losses and gains (5-10 pounds per cycle) to large changes in weight (50 pounds
or more per cycle). Not confined to people who are overweight, the repeated
losses and gains may have negative health consequences.
It's disheartening to successfully lose weight, only to regain it and it's easy
to fall into a loss-gain-loss cycle. Fad diets, which are often a part of yo-yo
dieting, are only a temporary fix to a problem that often has its roots in poor
body image and a lack of self-esteem.
