Weight
Cycling Weight cycling, also known as "yo-yo dieting," is the repeated loss and gain of body weight over time. It is a cycle of losing weight (often through dieting), maintaining that new weight for some time, and then gaining back the lost weight. Weight cycling is a common phenomenon among individuals, who are often attempting to reach a "desirable" body weight. The physical and mental health implications of weight cycling can be significant and can include increased risk of metabolic syndrome, psychological distress and loss of self-esteem. Weight cycling is an important factor to consider when discussing overall health and it should be addressed through safe and effective weight management practices.
