goes back to your original 170 pounds, in fact it doesn’t just stop
there.
It makes you add a few extra pounds on top of that to store away for a
rainy day. Because you put your body through trauma it thought it
was starving so it literally made you store extra fat for times of famine
to safeguard you against losing any more weight again.
So there you have it, you just hurt your chances of losing weight by
provoking your body into defense mode and making you gain extra
weight.
It’s well documented that this happens which is how the phrase got to
be coined as “Yo-Yo” dieting. Your weight goes down then it comes
back up again and then some.
There is a way around Yo-Yo dieting and the secret lies in not shocking
your body into retaliation but rather working in alignment with it. I’ll
explain more on that a little later in this book.
Fad Diets
If any of the diets you have ever tried in the past fell into any of these
categories, there’s a good chance it was a fad diet.
1. Promises you will lose lots of weight in one week with little effort
2. Fails to mention disclaimers or recommend doctors consultation
prior to dieting
3. Suggests you eliminate entire food groups from your eating plan
such as carbohydrates or dairy or vegetables
4. Restricts you to a set eating plan without considering what your
preferences are, in other words lack of flexibility setting you up to fail
5. Fails to reinforce good and health habits and lifestyle changes
