Those who go for quick weight loss diets are the ones who are most likely going to regain all that lost weight in no time. These are also the people who can easily be defined as yo-yo dieters. Yo-yo dieters can successfully loose weight after a few months of sticking to a diet, but regain the weight quickly once they stop. If this sounds like a familiar scenario, then maybe it's time to look for a diet that will help you permanently loose the weight without worrying about weight gain.
Rebound weight gain occurs because of two possible factors. Either you were using a diet that restrictive diet or because your activity levels have become sedentary after you lost the weight.
Restrictive diets offer a quick weight loss solution because the pounds drop very quickly. Once the diet is finished, rebound weight gain occurs. When we restrict our caloric intake, the body will adjust itself over time to get used to living with fewer calories. After the diet, we can no longer return to our previous caloric requirements. This causes weight to accumulate again.
A sedentary lifestyle can also lead to rebound weight gain. Some yo-yo dieters tend to relax after the weight loss goal has been achieved. The muscles, which have been used to being subjected to stress begin to atrophy and their calorie burning engines stop working. For a few short weeks, you may start noticing that the rock hard muscles begin to look like they have the consistency of a marshmallow
