Are you a yo-yp dieter — someone who loses weight, only to put it back on again?
It happens to the famous — Oprah and actress Kirstie Alley for example, but it’s much more common that you’d think. A full 98 per cent of dieters lose weight, only to pile it on again within two years.
It’s not your fault.
Yo-yo dieting can be the toughest bounce of all – USATODAY.com reports:
“Regaining takes a toll on people emotionally, he says. ‘People often feel very ashamed, humiliated and powerless.’
It’s natural to blame yourself, but it’s not that simple, he says. After you lose weight, there’s a cascade of biological responses designed to return you to your pre-diet levels. A hunger hormone called ghrelin increases, and a fullness hormone called leptin decreases, Wadden says.
Besides fighting your biology, you are also up against a culture in which food is available 24/7 and exercise has been squeezed out of people’s lives, he says.”
So if you’re losing weight for the second, third or fourth time: take heart. It really is hard to keep the weight off. Congratulate yourself for being the fighter you are.
