We all know that the most common weight-loss approach is to eat less, sensibly, and exercise more. Unfortunately, the National Institute of Health reported that 90% of the people who participate in diets and weight-loss programs do not lose significant weight or sustain the weight loss. Many who lose weight using these tactics quickly regain it when the diet ends, which leads to more dieting, replacing meals with special drinks, or taking diet pills. The cycle of losing weight and gaining it back is called the “yo-yo effect”. The yo-yo effect can also make it harder to lose weight in the future. |
