30 Seconds SummaryWhy You’re Not Losing Weight and Keeping it Off
- Over one-third of weight lost is regained within a year, and almost all within five years, indicating the challenge lies in maintaining weight loss.
- Common dieting errors include focusing too much on minor diet details instead of adherence, consistency, and overall energy balance.
- Choosing a diet based on personal preference, lifestyle fit, and long-term adherence is crucial for sustained weight loss.
- Physiological and psychological factors make keeping weight off difficult, including metabolic slowdown, increased hunger hormones, and heightened cravings after dieting.
- Post-diet weight gain often exceeds the amount initially lost, a phenomenon known as 'fat overshooting'.
- Practical strategies to mitigate weight regain include dieting with minimal caloric restriction, structured exercise, managing stress, and ensuring adequate sleep.
- The goal is to find a balanced, sustainable nutrition program that incorporates preferred foods and fits into one's lifestyle for the long term.
