as many as twenty diets without managing to maintain the weight loss

A survey recently done in the United Kingdom shows the more than twenty percent of British women have been on five or more individual diets and then regained weight and some of the women questioned said that they had been as many as twenty diets without managing to maintain the weight loss.

The survey is extremely worrying because the process of yo-yo dieting is in fact extremely bad for not only your physical health but even your psychological health. The results which were published by YouGov were released to coincide with European Obesity Day and raise awareness of the health dangers of repeatedly losing and then gaining body fat. 

The way we get it at Ukmedix News is that if you are following an eating pattern which you don't intend to maintain forever you almost certainly put the weight back on. It's one thing to cut out a few high calorie items in your diet to shed a few pounds every now and again, for example at the beginning of summer and just before you go on holiday, but if your diet consists of drastic short term curtailments of your usual eating patterns than you might as well resign yourself to never really conquering your weight problem.

Constantly losing weight and then it putting back on is also bad for your confidence and self esteem. People will always look at you and talk about whether you have gained weight or put it on and you will just be defined by your weight all the time. Surely there are better things to be recognised for! Unhealthy fad diets which encourage very fast weight loss are partly to blame for this growing problem in the UK and that is why you should always avoid unhealthy dieting because it has a boomerang effect which will come back to get you!

Use your brain, go on a sensible healthy diet and you'll be slim for the rest of your life!
