Question

Explain why “yo-yo” dieting might actually result in weight gain. 2.Describe why the Atkins and Zone diets cause weight loss, and identify the risks associated with each diet plan. 3.Why is a high-carbohydrate, moderate-protein diet like the Ornish diet often very difficult for a person to follow?

Answer 1

1. The body adjusts to getting the most from fewer calories, and when calorie intake is then increased, the body “hoards” the extra calories as fat.

2. Both diets limit food intake, thus lowering calorie consumption, and eating a lot of fat decreases a person’s appetite. However, both diets might cause heart disease, stroke, and constipation.

3. A diet like the Ornish diet is hard to follow because it takes a lot of commitment, mainly because all of the menu items have to be prepared from scratch and time needs to be set aside each day for exercise and stress reduction.

yo yo

Weight cycling is the repeated loss and regain of body weight. When weight cycling is the result of dieting, it is often called "yo-yo" dieting. A weight cycle can range from small weight losses and gains (5-10 lbs. per cycle) to large changes in weight (50 lbs. or more per cycle).
