 Is a Yo-Yo Diet:
| A natural phenomenon of human existence? |
| A
harmless but abnormal variation of lifestyle? |
| A
dangerous, destructive, or detrimental pattern of food intake? |
...and why? That is, what are the scientific studies that support your

“Although it is true that losing weight and keeping it
off is difficult, there is no clear evidence that repeated attempts to
lose weight is harmful to health.”

“You may
have heard stories in the press claiming that weight cycling [the
so-called “yo-yo dieting”] may be harmful to your health. You may
also have heard that staying at one weight is better
than weight cycling, even if you are obese. However, no
convincing evidence supports these claims. and most obesity researchers
believe that obese individuals should continue to try to control their
body weight.”
