Then, whether you\u2019re seeing results or not, you fall off the wagon for a time, binge eat and gain weight again before jumping into the next diet for a similar period of time.<\/p>\n<p>As you might expect, this doesn\u2019t lead to consistent weight loss. The problems run much deeper than that.\u00a0 Here are a few of the other negative effects you\u2019ll see:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It makes it harder to lose weight \u2013 This is especially true if you put yourself on very restrictive \u201cstarvation diets\u201d followed by a period of binge eating. When you\u2019re on an extremely low-calorie diet, your body essentially goes into emergency mode and tries to store as much as it can as fat, which works against your weight loss goals.\u00a0 Then, when you binge, the excess calories are also stored as fat, giving you that much more weight to ultimately lose.<\/li>\n<li>It can cause headaches and fatigue \u2013 This is true of not just yo-yo dieting, but any time you present your body with rapid changes. It doesn\u2019t quite know how to react, and so, it rebels, and you wind up paying the toll.<\/li>\n<li>It can dampen your sex drive \u2013 This by itself should be enough to dissuade most people from yo-yo dieting. A plummeting sex drive can really damage your ego and self-esteem. In addition, sex can be a very fun way to exercise! You don\u2019t want to miss out on having fun while you work out!<\/li>\n<li>It fosters bad eating habits \u2013 If your eating habits are in an almost constant state of flux, it makes finding a sensible diet and actually sticking with it for an extended period that much more difficult. Some habits are notoriously hard to break!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in losing weight and keeping it off, the best approach is a sensible diet you can stick with in the long term, coupled with a good exercise regimen.\u00a0 There\u2019s no magic to it, but it does take time and discipline.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-368\" src=\"http:\/\/radianthealth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lose-weight-1968908_1920-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/> Yo-Yo dieting, or weight cycling, is an almost tragically easy habit to get into that can cause you no end of troubles.
