For over three weeks now, I wasn’t aware that I was undergoing yo-yo dieting. I thought by not eating, I would lose the flab. A BIG NO! That’s when I found out last night about yo-yo dieting and how detrimental this is to our health.
I got curious about yo-yo dieting when I read about it at Jessica Simpson’s photo.
I immediately googled yo-yo dieting, and here’s what I got from Wikipedia:
This kind of diet is associated with extreme food deprivation as a substitute for good diet and exercise techniques. As a result, the dieter may experience loss of both muscle and body fat during the initial weight-loss phase (weight-bearing exercise is required to maintain muscle). After completing the diet, the dieter is likely to experience the body’s famine response, leading to rapid weight gain of only fat. This is a dangerous fat-cycle that changes the body’s fat to muscle ratio, one of the more important factors in health. One study in rats showed those made to yo-yo diet were more efficient at gaining weight.
Nay! That explains why I just can’t go out from this bottom pit of feeling fat, flabby, and bloated.
Women, who have just given birth, (and who really gained much during their pregnancy, yours truly is included, sigh) are wondering how on earth can we remove the flab in our bodies. We’re wondering what kind of exercises can help us fast track our goal to lose weight, tone our legs, remove the fats around the abdomen, and be totally fit.
I simply can’t leave my baby alone. You see, my five month old is as active as a two-year old. I wonder how a two-year old behaves, but it’s how I see her. Oftentimes, I got so harassed. Too bad, I am often irritable at my baby. No, at her behavior, perhaps. (I’m sorry, baby, mom’s so tired of being nanny-less, and worried, too, of your eating/sleeping habits.) Should I say I am just an overly worried mother of a five-month old who doesn’t drink much milk because she’s too preoccupied of doing other things.
