Understanding Weight Fluctuations

Many individuals experience significant weight fluctuations after dieting, often losing substantial amounts and then regaining them quickly. This pattern is not solely tied to food intake but rather relates to how the body responds to weight loss and maintenance. Dieting can lead to increased stress on the body, causing inflammation and physiological stress, making it difficult to maintain weight after a caloric deficit. Understanding that the body is resilient reinforces the idea that long-term health and stable weight can be achieved without drastic dietary restrictions.
