How to get out of the reduction period without the yo-yo effect?

In many cases, instead of changing eating habits, there is a “switch to diet”. This results in a sudden return to old habits and the usually higher calorie diet. The period of reduction should be the beginning of changes taking place both in the body and in thinking. The diet should not have a limited “from-to” time, it should permanently change health behaviour for the better, it should be permanent.

 

The reduction period is characterised by a negative caloric balance. If you do not supply the body with enough energy, it will draw it from the stores available to it. By optimally adjusting the composition of the diet and including both cardio and strength training, the reduction diet will result in the loss of mainly body fat.

After the reduction period, it is time to stabilise and this moment is key to maintaining a reduced, normal body weight. A properly carried out stabilisation process, similar to reduction, should be properly spread over time to obtain lasting and healthy effects.

Our cooperation should not end when you reach the dream number on the scale! On the contrary, this is when the support of a dietitian can be invaluable.

The body undergoing reduction, if it receives a sudden and significant caloric surplus, will start to store this energy, for example after completing the “diet”, when you switch overnight from healthy eating and low calories, to pre-diet habits – sweets or junk food or just a lot more food.

In a situation where energy will be gradually added, while maintaining optimal amounts of macronutrients, it will start to use it and adapt to the current energy conditions.

 

Remember,
a properly conducted process of returning to normal calorific value 
should take at least a few weeks. It is worth doing it under the supervision 
of a specialist, who will skillfully inhibit the yo-yo effect and tell you 
how to find yourself in the diet with higher calorific value than before.
