Finding weight loss that lasts for the yo-yo dieter

Yo-yo dieting describes a common scenario in which someone follows a restrictive diet, loses weight, regains it, and then begins the cycle all over again. Yo-yo dieting may also be referred to as weight cycling. Do you consider yourself a yo-yo dieter? Have you tried every diet under the sun? Do you get sucked in by fad diets on social media? Are you starting your third round of Weight Watchers but not really sure why? Are you looking for weight loss that lasts?

If this sounds like you and you’re ready to stop the madness, drop the yo-yo and meet with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Dietitians provide expert advice in a down-to-earth way that’s tailored to you. Once you stop trying to fit your eating habits into a one-size-fits-all restrictive plan you’ll see how incredible it feels to be working on your goals at your own pace, with an expert on your side. 

While there is some evidence that a history of yo-yo dieting may damage your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight, there is also hopeful evidence that yo-yo dieters are not at a disadvantage when trying to lose weight for the long-term.

We welcome you, yo-yo dieters, Weight Watchers alum, keto dropouts, and fad diet followers! It is possible for you to stop gaining, start losing, and to work through plateaus with less frustration and more progress. Learn more about our services or schedule an appointment to get started!
