Weight loss involves a long-term diet which, for best results, must be strict. Sometimes, fat-reducing diets allow only 1,000 calories per day and can lead to serious eating disorders. Restrictions carry great risks and can damage not only our health, but also the physical condition of the body. The yo-yo effect is not a myth, but one of the consequences of a poorly chosen and followed diet. How to avoid a weight relapse?
Why does the yo-yo effect occur despite a strict diet?
The yo-yo effect refers to fluctuations in body weight, which most commonly occur following a period of temporary undernourishment combined with a lack of physical activity whilst on a „diet". The yo-yo effect is most common amongst people who have tried to lose weight on their own without consulting a dietitian. Although body weight drops quickly when eating very little, the results will never be lasting unless we approach weight loss sensibly. Poor nutrition reduces concentration levels and weakens physical condition. This only confirms the argument that strict diets do not work in the long run. What’s more, people who have recently lost weight compensate for months of dieting with numerous „cheat days”. The body, remembering the recent nutrient deficiency, converts food into fat more quickly and stores it in the abdominal area or on the thighs.
How to lose weight fast without the yo-yo effect?
In order to lose weight without a relapse, it is necessary to gradually reduce the number of daily calories consumed and, in the meantime, consult a dietician who adjusts the diet to the individual's BMI and genetic conditions. As an alternative or adjunct to traditional weight loss treatment, aesthetic medicine treatments can be offered at our Wellclinic practice.
Weight loss without yo-yo effect
Many people do not categorise aesthetic medicine treatments as methods for weight loss, as the treatments seem to be an unnatural action for the body and a shortcut. This is stereotypical thinking - the current advancement of aesthetic medicine and solutions using lasers can not only work visual wonders, but also significantly improve our comfort in life. One of the most recommended weight-loss treatments in our clinic is Tight SculptingTMor laser lipolysis. The treatment is performed with the Fotona device, which allows you to achieve immediate results (like 7 cm less in circumference). Significant weight loss is noticed between 1 and 4 visits.
What's more, our treatments also address the problem of sagging skin that occurs after drastic weight loss. We use technology HIFU II – HIPRO, which tightens the skin in areas prone to stretching, thanks to the previously mentioned Fotona device. The treatment is completely painless and the effect is visible after just 45 minutes.
Slimming down with the help of aesthetic medicine technology requires follow-up treatments and continued attention to body harmony, while it does not cause a yo-yo effect. Fluctuations in weight can cause not only damage to health, but also psychological problems and złhe self-esteem. At Wellclinic, we strive for complete satisfaction of our clients. We guarantee that you will not struggle with the yo-yo effect when you choose our treatments and experience.
