Expert on eating behavior Iryna Ushkova told how diets affect metabolism.

The psychologist explained: often after diets, the weight returns in an even greater amount than before the start of losing weight. The reason for this is changes in metabolism.

The fact is that with strict dietary restrictions, the human body assumes the role of a defender and begins to resist the loss of fat reserves. For this purpose, the metabolism slows down, this is called metabolic adaptation.

“The metabolism of the participants of the American TV show “The biggest looser” was studied. The participants lost weight and, at the same time, reduced the basic level of metabolism by 610±483 kcal/day… Six years after the end of the show, the metabolism was below the original by 704±427 kcal/day.

At the same time, they gained a significant part of the lost weight. In those who lost weight more, the metabolism decreased more,” she said.

In order for the weight not to return with an increase, the specialist recommends abandoning radical diets and giving preference to slow but more effective weight loss.

For this, you should follow a balanced diet, move more, getting pleasure from it, and pay special attention to the treatment of any diseases.
