Healthy Sustainable Weight Loss in Manhattan NY area

Yo-yo dieting is a common occurrence in today’s world. With social media touting different weight loss plans, many patients are confused about what they can do to achieve weight loss in a healthy and sustainable manner. At the New York Center for Integrative Health in the Manhattan, New York area, our doctors are here to provide solutions for long-term success with medical-guided weight loss solutions.

What is yo-yo dieting, and what are its pitfalls?

Yo-yo dieting, which is also referred to as weight cycling, is a noticeable pattern of both dieting and weight gain in which an individual alternates between periods of eating in an attempt to lose weight followed by periods of overeating or binging that can cause the individual to gain back any lost weight. This cycle is repeated multiple times and usually results in gaining more weight than before.

What can happen with yo-yo dieting?

Yo-yo dieting has been linked to a number of different adverse health effects. This includes:

The development of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease
A negative impact on the patient’s health and well-being, including mental health
The result of low self-esteem and depression
Increased weight gain as weight loss is not sustainable
