You engage in yo-yo dieting

Yo-yo dieting is the term used to describe cycles of intentional weight loss and unintentional weight gain. Notably, this pattern has a longer-term relationship with a higher risk of weight gain.

A study with 2,785 participants found that dieters had greater body weights and waist circumferences than non-dieters did. According to other research, restrictive eating and dieting might result in future weight gain because of how your body reacts to them physiologically, such as by changing your hormone levels of hunger and fullness. Additionally, the majority of people who lose weight through restrictive diets gain it all back within five years. You should concentrate on long-lasting lifestyle adjustments if you want to lose weight permanently. Exercise, avoiding processed and sugary foods, and consuming nutrient-dense, whole foods high in fiber and protein are some helpful suggestions.
