Do you know what the famous and dreaded yo-yo effect is? It’s the weight regain that occurs after you’ve managed to lose weight. And, unfortunately, it’s not uncommon. It happens because our older brain “resists” the loss of energy reserve tissue and sends orders to the body to initiate physiological changes that lead to its recovery.

Changes occur in our bodies at the level of the hormones that are secreted and at the level of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. This causes us to increase our calorie intake and decrease our energy expenditure. The result is excess calories that are stored as fat, which will translate into weight gain again.

How can we combat this mechanism? The first thing is to continue with the new habits we’ve incorporated into our lives during the weight-loss phase. That is:

• · We must continue to eat healthy and balanced foods, real foods, not ultra-processed ones; prioritizing plant-based foods, fish, and white meat, and discarding foods rich in sugars and fats of poor nutritional quality.
• · We will continue to maintain an active lifestyle and exercise several days a week, the more the better. Combining strength training with aerobic exercise.
• · And we can consume natural, scientifically proven ingredients that help counteract the physiological mechanisms that lead to regaining lost weight.

The CSAT+^® ingredient is a patented blend of Carob fruit extract and fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which, due to its composition of galactomannans, polyphenols and FOS, has been shown in scientific studies to help reduce the feeling of hunger and improve the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids, lowering glucose, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
