A new study highlights the negative effects of yo-yo dieting, emphasizing the difficulty of escaping the cycle and recommending that most people avoid dieting unless it is medically necessary. The research, based on in-depth interviews with adults who experienced weight cycling, reveals that societal pressure and toxic diet culture often lead individuals to engage in unsustainable weight-loss strategies, resulting in shame, body dissatisfaction, and unhappiness. The study suggests that weight cycling can cause real harm and can lead to a lifelong struggle with weight for many people.
