Research shows that the act of dieting increases cortisol levels. They concluded that attempts to lose weight (dieting) were related to future risk of major weight gain. At the end of the study the researchers were surprised to find that people who participated in formal weight loss programs were more likely to gain weight over a two year period than those who had not. There was a study done in 2007 by medicare looking for the best weight loss plan.
The only way to stop is to stop dieting for good and change how you think about food. There’s more focus on your eating and weight, which just increases your thoughts about food. Labeling foods and this type of all or nothing thinking make you feel guilty, bad, and ashamed- that you’re a failure. This thought pattern usually leads to overeating the rest of the day or the week until dieting/restriction is resumed. When you fall off the diet plan- which you will- you find yourself thinking in an all or nothing pattern of- I’ve blown it and will start over tomorrow or Monday. Everything begins to look appealing and sound good. All you can think about is what you can and can’t eat, if it’s time to eat, how much is allowed, what you’re eating vs what you desire to eat. When you’re dieting food consumes your mind. Diets mess up your head and your relationship with food.Translation- metabolism was slower for people who had dieted- the more weight lost, the slower the metabolism- the slower metabolism means the less energy your body needs to maintain your weight. One study (from The Biggest Loser participants) found that after 6 years, even following weight regain, there were continued metabolic adaptations of starvation. Metabolism slows while you’re dieting, but research suggests that it doesn’t necessarily improve, even with weight regain. Over time this slows your metabolism down because your body thinks you’re in a famine and begins to preserve energy to keep you alive. When you diet you restrict your eating and essentially don’t eat enough food.
