While there is a universal understanding of the health complications associated with being overweight or obese, the knowledge that diets are not the solution may only be known to those who have had the direct experience that episodes of weight loss are often followed by weight regain. Even with this direct experience, it may be hard to ignore the allure of the dieting culture and the instant gratification afforded by fad diets. The purpose of this project is to elucidate the physiological and psychological consequences of weight loss followed by weight regain also known as weight cycling. The goals of this project are the following: 1) generate an understanding of the physiological mechanisms involved once an individual starts a diet which lead to weight regain 2) discuss how this weight regain and thus weight cycling is disadvantageous to our health and can lead to disease 3) discuss the psychological consequences that episodes of weight loss followed by weight gain engender, and 4) provide an alternative solution that will promote weight maintenance and health. The anticipated outcome of this project is the understanding that dieting will elicit rapid weight loss, and that weight loss maintenance will be the difficult but rewarding task.
