Ep. 216 - The Hidden Consequences of Yo-Yo Dieting You Need to Know (and Why Future Weight Loss is That Much Harder)

TRUTH BOMB: Compared to being overweight or obese (as defined by BMI) the act of consistently losing and regaining weight (read: yo-yo dieting) significantly increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure… I'll say it one more time: someone who consistently loses and regains the same 15 - 20 pounds over and over is at a greater risk for several disease states compared to someone who maintains their weight - even if they're 20 pounds over what would be considered a healthier, ideal weight. In today's episode, I am going to dive deep into the research that examines the depth of the negative impact yo-yo dieting has on your physiological health. Moreover, I'll share several emotional consequences that remaining stuck in this weight loss and regain cycle has. All of this, of course, is in an effort to help you wake up to the fact that if you find yourself stuck in this perpetual cycle, you need to make major changes to break free. Otherwise, the accumulating stress placed on your nervous system from yo-yo dieting will bring about a significant risk for several disease states.
