Tips On How To Stop Yo-Yo Dieting And Get The Results You Really Want

Linked To Cases Of Type Two Diabetes

Belly fat and a fatty liver, both of which are common in yo-yo dieting, have been linked to an increased risk of type two diabetes. If belly fat surrounds the liver in excess, the insulin the pancreas creates cannot trigger a response from the liver, so the liver will not take and store the extra blood glucose for later. Patients who have fatty liver disease also exhibit numerous high-risk markers for type two diabetes, such as insulin resistance, higher glucose, and abnormalities in their cholesterol.

While a fatty liver is related to obesity, those who engage in yo-yo dieting substantially increase their risk for it, even if they are not considered obese, due to the speed at which individuals gain fat during yo-yo dieting. Turn to core and cardio exercises to help curb belly fat. Combining this with a sustainable diet helps the body recover after a period of yo-yo dieting. Just remember to stick with it!
