Yo Yo Dieting in Men
When a person wishes to go on a diet, they may experience the
ups and downs that come with the process of dieting. This is
when the term "yo yo dieting" comes into play. Even though a
person may lose weight after beginning a diet, they will have to
work hard to keep up and maintain the progress. Yo yo dieting is
also seen in individuals who are obese.
Those who are obese have more fat cells than a person who is
physically fit. Their fat cells are also larger. When an obese
man or woman diets, their fat cells do not decrease in numbers,
they only grow smaller. This means that when food intake
increases after a diet, the fat cells will return to their
original state, making the overall appearance of the individual
larger. This is why it is important for a person to find a diet
that they will be able to stick to; they will be able to feel
better and maintain their weight loss better.
Although the trend of dieting has been mostly associated with
women; men also experience these ups and downs of yo yo dieting.
During short-term dieting, a dieter must exercise or else half
or more of the weight they lose will be due to a loss in
muscles. Muscle loss will lead to a variety of problems, such as
a thinner, weaken body prone to breakdowns and fatigue; weakened
maintenance of weight because it is muscle than burns calories,
not fat; and when weight is gained back, it is mostly fat that
will stick to the body- exercise is needed to build muscles.
Another result of yo yo dieting is when the weight is gained
back, a dieter who does not exercise will not only be fatter,
but will appear thicker than they were before. For example,
let's say a man weighed 300 pounds and wore a 5x shirt. He diets
without exercising, then loses 20 pounds. Now, let's say that he
regains the weight, but now he is puzzled as to why he now has
to fit
into a size 6x shirt. The reason is that fat is lighter
and less dense than muscle, so it takes more fat weight, as well
as bulk, to replace the lost muscle weight. Exercise can
eliminate some of these problems.
Not only is yo yo dieting a frustrating process, but it is not
good for your overall health. When a person bounces from weight
gain to weight loss and back to weight gain again, the immune
system suffers. Studies have shown that negative health effects
of yo-yo dieting can still be detected years after the fact. If
a man participates in crash dieting, such as trying to lose ten
pounds in ten days, they will most likely suffer from a yo yo
dieting trend. If they are trying to maintain a healthy weight,
they should choose a diet that promotes a healthy diet over
longer periods of time. The diet should be a complete lifestyle
change and not something to try for one brief moment. It has
been said that if you lose more than 1-2 pounds a week, you are
probably doing too much.
