Yo-yo effect: how to avoid the yo yo effect after a diet?

Maria Taniaga — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 09:28:16 +0000

The yo-yo effect is that of losing weight (a plan) before resuming kg lost even more. For example, you lose weight of 10 kilograms but repeat 14.

Those who suffer the yo-yo cycle often speak of yo-yo:

* You start a reduced calorie diet to lose weight and do not exercise. As a result, your metabolic rate decreases (now your body burns fewer calories each day than it did),
* You stop your plan,
* Now you start to eat as much food (or even more, because of a lack of sensation) before you start your plan,
* Therefore, you take even more weight to weigh more than before the procedure (because of your metabolic rate decreased and / or because you constantly eat foods “forbidden” during the regime),
* Frustrated (e) your gain weight, you start a diet,
* Your metabolic rate decreases even more,
* You take the weight and add even more weight at this stage,
* The cycle continues.

React quickly

It is natural that your weight varies from a few kilograms, but if you see your balance indicate 2 kilos more overnight, act immediately.
Do not wait until you are on the slippery slope to return to your original weight. Renew your commitments just in food and resume your exercise to burn more calories, and you’ll see the extra weight go away again.

Lose weight with the fiber food

These foods delayed sensation of hunger and limit the risk of overeating.

They give you a double advantage. Without any effort you eat less because you feel fuller faster and longer.

The secret of these foods is called “fiber”. But not just any fiber. There are several kinds of fibers.

Dietary fibers are substances of plant origin, indigestible, but essential for the proper functioning of the bowel.

Oats and especially oat bran is rich in soluble fiber. One cup of cooked oatmeal provides about 3 g. soluble fiber, 2 figs 1.5 g; 1 avocado average 1.3 g, 1 / 2 cup blackberries 1 g, 3 g red beans, 1 / 2 cup black beans, Pinto beans 2 g, 1 / 2 cup chickpea Lens 1 g, 1 / 2 cup Brussels sprouts 3g, 1 medium artichoke 2.2 g, 1 / 2 cup broccoli 1 g, 1 / 2 cup sweet potato 1.4 g.

To effectively block the fat and sugar surplus, it must come to consume an average of 20 to 30 g. of fiber per day. You can reach this amount by eating more whole foods in the category of cereals, fruits and vegetables.

It is important to drink plenty of water when consuming a meal high in fiber. This is to avoid obstructions in the esophagus.

Successful dieting

The effectiveness of the diet depends on various factors. The food, the duration of the plan and meal composition are critical.

Food

This is the factor we know best today, because we know exactly what each food contains, close to the calorie.
Time is also a key factor

The distribution of meals during the day plays an important role and is not yet fully elucidated. It is likely that one can lose weight by changing the distribution of food and, especially, by giving more importance to breakfast. We know, for example, that equal quantities of food, laboratory mice fed once or twice during the day grow, while those who are fed four times keep the same weight.
The composition of meals has long been discussed

Should we encourage the carbohydrate in the diet as usual, or may otherwise be forced on fats and proteins as in some plans? In fact, when comparing long-term diets different, the results are almost identical. All plans are losing weight the first month and are followed by a rebound weight gain. Few people can control their weight throughout life.

The key to success lies not only on food. To lose weight, it is imperative to move and exercise.

Is it possible to lose weight with diets high in fat?

Ann Brown — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:58:13 +0000

Several authors claim that it is possible to lose weight and build muscle with a high fat diet, the Anabolic and Metabolic Diet by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale and diet Body Opus by Dan Duchaine, are two examples.

According to these diets can lose fat without losing muscle mass. It consists of a very low carbohydrate intake for 5 days with two days with high intake of carbohydrates to achieve the super-compensation.

But, can consume more fat a diet rich in fat, as its proponents claim?. In Fitness Gym tell us that probably not, see the explanation.

Our body provides fat diet very differently to carbohydrates or protein. While our intake of carbohydrates or protein is balanced body use as fuel, fat intake is balanced by changes in body fat deposits.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported two separate studies on how diets affect the use of fats and carbohydrates and fat deposits. One diet was high in carbohydrates and high in fat, while the other contained very little carbohydrate and fat.

Both studies concluded by stating that as carbohydrate intake rose or fell, was the same with its use as fuel. Moreover, the amount of fat eaten, corresponded to the individual body fat percentage, the more consumed, the more retained.

Note also that in one study the carbohydrate-rich diet contained 20% more calories than fat-rich diet, and yet the subject of high-carbohydrate group reduced their body weight in larger quantities.

The key point is that if our body is always trying to balance their fat stores with your calorie intake, reduce fat intake continuous consumed also achieved our fat deposits are reduced.

When the intake re-balanced with our tanks and reduce body fat loss, go back to alter your diet so that we return to consume fewer calories from fat.

But we must never reduce the percentage of dietary fat below 15% of total caloric nor too long, because this can slow down your metabolism.

In a study by J. Volek and his associates at Pennsylvania State University, found that a diet containing less than 15% of their calories from fat had a direct relationship with low levels of circulating testosterone, a hormone needed for the production of pure muscle and other activities metabolic diseases.
