Yo-yo Dieting Means Yo-yo Weight

by

Are you a yo-yo dieter? Well even if you try to change things with counseling programs, the weight will return.

Researchers have used statistical techniques to combine data from 46 randomized controlled trials of counseling programs and have come to the conclusion that with counsel-based programs(led by dietitians, nurses or doctors) there has been a substantial weight loss. But the effect of the programs wear off.

That means physicians have to work harder to get their patients on a better lifestyle management program. How can they do that? They will have to see their patients more often and create programs by which the patient can analyze his eating habits better.

When I decide to change my eating habits, I have to keep reminding myself that today I will eat x+y and stay away from z. I have to keep working on myself. It’s a process. Although it’s physicians who can help create the change, a lot of the change is up to me. It’s my body and I’ve got to save it.

    Yes, dieting is a reflection who you are.

    Are you a disciplined person who sticks to their own principles or are you looking for shortcuts and hoping that somehow things will turn out better without any effort?
