Maybe you've been struggling with weight for years… You're so unhappy with the shape your body has taken, and this prompted you to look for a miraculous, quick-working formula, you went on strict diets, and then you regained the weight you lost more than once. Then you may be experiencing the “yo-yo syndrome”. If we say what is this "yo-yo syndrome", we can say that individuals reach their old weight or higher weight due to different reasons after dieting more than once and losing weight. When we look at what the causes are;
-Incorrect and unconscious diets
-Past diseases and/or drugs used
-Psychological or sociological factors
-Sedentary (sedentary) lifestyle
-Repeat the cycle of dieting-overeating-diet frequently
-Slimming drugs/teas/pills used unconsciously
-A wide variety of causes such as pregnancy, menopause, cesarean section are encountered.
The ones in the risk group for this syndrome are those who have a strict diet for a long time, individuals with a sedentary lifestyle, women (higher risk group than men). ), individuals experiencing aesthetic anxiety, individuals with impaired body image, and individuals with eating behavior disorders can be called priority. Especially in recent years, those who apply shock diets and detoxes with the influence of social media can also be considered in the risk group.
If you have such a story, what can you do? First of all, I suggest you stop seeing this process as a temporary weight loss period and start work. You can put an end to this syndrome with permanent lifestyle changes by thinking about the cause of the problem, solving the root problems with the support of a dietitian, and creating a healthy nutrition program that includes all the food groups that are specific to you in an adequate and balanced way. Continuing the treatment with the use of medications and in cooperation with the doctor-dietician will facilitate the process. Even in the case of emotional eating, the joint work of a dietitian-psychologist/psychiatrist becomes very important. If there is anything you want to discuss, you can contact us. Stay well…
