Do you know what the named and feared Yo-Yo Effect consists of? It is the recovery of weight that occurs after having managed to lose weight. And unfortunately, it’s not uncommon. It occurs because our oldest brain “resists” losing energy reserve tissue and sends orders to the body to implement physiological changes that lead to its recovery.

In our body changes occur at the level of the hormones that are secreted and at the level of the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids. This causes us to increase our calorie intake and decrease our energy expenditure. The result is excess calories being stored as fat, which will result in weight gain again.

How can we do to fight against this mechanism? The first thing is to continue with the new habits incorporated into our lives during the weight loss stage. That is to say:

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