Yo-Yo Dieting Causes Extra Weight Gain
Short fasting periods may lead your body to convert the food into more fat stores than usual.
The Universities of Exeter and Bristol suggests people who try low calorie diets often, overeat when they break from their low calorie diet trend. In contrast to people who try to diet often, people who consistently eat more will most likely not have as much fat because their bodies are used to the constant food sources that they are receiving. The study conducted looked at a mathematical model that shows that an animal knows when a food source is abundant or limited, but not when it can change in regards to availability, causing the fat storage to occur after a fasting period.
This adaption has been handed down genetically from generation to generation due to the world in which humans evolved being an unpredictable source of food. Therefore, the human body adapted to recognize a period of fasting or famine and store any surplus as food causing you to gain an estimated 2,843-3,752 calories per pound of fat. The only way to overcome this adaptation, is to stick to a consistent diet and overcome the cravings that follow the initial start of a diet! Consulting your physician or a nutrition professional can help you overcome these cravings, and build strategies to complete a successful dieting routine.
