As we have always maintained, only a healthy diet and regular exercise, leading to calorie deficit, can help burn fat and help you reach your goal weight. Though there are many different ways and fad diets that promise quick results within a short span of time, a majority of people do end up gaining back all the lost weight and even more. It does not mean that people who have lost weight through a healthy diet would never put on weight – they just have to stop “yo-yo dieting.” Studies have revealed that up to 80% of people who lose weight, do end up gaining all lost pounds because they fall back on their old eating habits and sedentary lifestyle once they have reached their goal weight.  The biggest mistake yo-yo dieters make is to not make dieting a part of their lifestyle. They usual resort to crash dieting and fad diets to lose weight which are not at all sustainable in the long run. Your ultimate aim should be to get healthy and not to reach a particular number on the weighing scale. Yo-yo dieting is quite common, but more so in people who have tried pills, potions, fad diets, and laxatives to lose weight. This weight cycling, or yo-yo dieting, is extremely frustrating, and will prevent you from sustaining the weight loss success. In this post, we tell you all about yo-yo dieting and how to stop it and keep the weight off forever.
