Frequent dieting increases the risk of obesity and weight gain- according to a study from the University of Helsinki in Finland. Researchers examined the effects of dieting on the risk of obesity and weight gain over a 25 year period. The more often a person dieted, the greater the risk of obesity and weight gain. The effects were independent of genetics. Dieting promotes weight gain because it encourages preoccupation with food, suppresses the metabolic rate, and places an overemphasis on weight gain rather than weight maintenance. Genetic factors are important in the risk of obesity, but frequent dieting makes you FAT!

This is why it is so important to incorporate a "clean" eating and exercise plan into your every day life!
That is the only thing that works!
Consistency is key!
