We asked momlogic contributor Diane Hendericks, a.k.a. Dietician In
The Kitchen, Chef & Nutritionist about the effects on yo-yo dieting and
why women do it in the first place...
"Although the medical effects of yo-yo dieting haven't been fully
proven, there has forever been theories about what it can do to you
physically. The official term for this is called "weight cycling" and some
say that it can slow down your metabolism, leave you with more fat
than muscle, give you more fat around your gut and it will be harder to
lose the weight again once you gain it back. As you get older, it's
harder to lose pounds because your metabolism is slower. The
psychological effects can also be devastating -- feeling like a failure,
falling into depression and having an overwhelming lack of
self-control. It can be so frustrating because you've done it before and
you promised never to get back to this place."
Diane adds there are 5 reasons why celebrities' (and real women's)
weight may fluctuate:
1. Women are looking for quick fixes. They want to get into shape for
an event or a pair of jeans. The mind-set isn't for long term.
2. We want to make it easy so we take pills, powdered supplements,
stimulants and laxatives. These are not long- term solutions and could
be potentially dangerous.
3. It's about weight, not health. It shouldn't be that we're looking to
lose weight, it should be that we're looking to be healthy.
4. When people decide to lose weight, they go to the gym 7 days a
week. It's the all-or-nothing approach. It's unrealistic to maintain this
level of intensity.
5. We try to lose weight for other people and not ourselves. We have
to make decisions like this for own well-being, or it will never work.
Diane says it's best to embrace the goal of getting healthy for the long
term. In most cases, the weight loss will follow as an added bonus.
