What is Overweight and Obesity?

Health Implications of Overweight and Obesity:

  • Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
  • Higher likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes
  • Greater risk of certain cancers
  • Increased strain on joints, leading to osteoarthritis
  • Potential for sleep apnea and breathing problems

What is Weight Cycling?

Weight cycling, often referred to as “yo-yo dieting,” involves repeated cycles of weight loss and regain. This pattern can be physically and emotionally challenging and may have negative health implications.

Effects of Weight Cycling:

  • Potential metabolic changes making weight loss more difficult over time
  • Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
  • Negative impact on mental health and body image
  • Potential for disordered eating behaviors
  • Muscle loss with each cycle

How a Dietitian Can Help: Dietitians assist in breaking the cycle of yo-yo dieting by promoting sustainable eating habits, addressing the root causes of weight cycling, and fostering a positive relationship with food and body.
