Fluctuating weight syndrome: what it is and what the consequences are for your health

You can be always on a diet?
This is the question that patients often ask themselves from the beginning of their diet therapy journey. The answer is “Absolutely not”, you cannot think of living a life giving up a pizza or a portion of cake or having to feel guilty for having transgressed the rules that a diet often imposes. But then you will wonder what the secret to a successful diet is. Certainly the so-called yo-yo diet is better known as Fluctuating Weight Syndrome, it does not represent an ideal model and unfortunately almost all subjects are overweight and/or obese, they practiced it.
It is based on control (autonomous) of calories passing from a phase of strict caloric control with consequent drastic reduction in calories, to a phase of caloric restoration with a "more balanced" diet.
In short, the subject commits to eating less... almost nothing, and then later alternating a moment of food abundance and a subsequent sense of guilt which leads him back to thinking that he will never succeed in his slimming aim. All this, not only does it cause states of anxiety and sometimes depressive symptoms in subjects, but even more seriously it increases stress levels, with probability, almost certainty, to fall back into an unregulated diet. In this situation there is repeated weight loss with subsequent weight increases which are harmful to both the body and the mind., sometimes even within 6 months and the studies conducted have shown that those who undergo these conditions (and there are many) have cortisol levels (stress hormone and depressive states) significantly increased, in addition to the serious psychological effects. Fluctuating weight syndrome, it can damage the immune system and keep you in a state of profound organic stress, which in the long term can cause the appearance of other pathologies, apparently not attributable to this condition, but which can certainly be a cause given the serious consequences that metabolic stress can cause. Just think of food intolerances or rather allergies, just think of the states of gastrointestinal inflammation, to autoimmune diseases (and there are many) and much more, even weight stasis, where a subject who alternates between overweight/normal weight/obesity, he finds himself unable to lose a gram anymore.

Fluctuating weight syndrome seems to have an implication, the establishment of a pathological condition due to the alteration of the metabolic rate, unfortunately this is a rampant reality, especially in a society that thinks it can solve overweight 2 weeks and obesity in 4.
The success of a diet is not determined by the weight loss achieved, but by his subsequent weight maintenance, which only happens if there has been a good start with diet therapy, accompanied by slow and balanced weight loss, to allow the organism itself, to get used to the new eating style, which will only lead to the reduction of fat mass, (muscles should not be damaged and the heart is a muscle too...) without altering individual metabolic processes. Therefore I invite you to be wary of slimming pills and anything else that promises sudden weight loss... time is a fundamental entity and represents an essential parameter in the "definitive" success of weight loss... and not only.
