Answer:
Diets that severely restrict caloric intake may offer results, but they trigger a “starvation response” in which the body slows down its metabolic rate to conserve energy. Once the goal weight is reached and normal eating resumes, the body gains weight even faster because it requires fewer calories just to maintain normal body functions.
In addition, rapid weight loss results in the loss of large amounts of glycogen, water, minerals, and muscle and organ protein. These undesirable losses of lean body mass are coupled with only minimal losses in fat.
Yo-yo dieting has a similar effect. The more weight we lose, regain and lose again, the more muscle tissue we lose. The loss of muscle tissue is responsible for lowering our metabolic rate.
