How Can I Stop Yo-yo Dieting?
This easy weight loss trick is no sweat. Jenna Rizzo, a Georgia-based fitness coach who specializes in women’s weight loss, is offering a simple psychological tip to combat yo-yo dieting.
“Take out a pen and paper, and I want you to start writing all the things you can add to your current diet: more protein, more fruit, more vegetables, more fiber,” Rizzo said in an 83-second clip this week. “Go into detail … Greek yogurt, chicken breast, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, the more detailed, the better.” She shared her own experiences with inconsistent eating habits to support her reasoning for this health hack.
“I have tried every single diet under the sun — keto, intermittent fasting, counting calories, you name it, I’ve probably done it,” she revealed. She notes that she was usually able to maintain her healthy eating during the workweek, but when Friday came around, it was a free-for-all. “I would have one cheat meal, and it would turn into a full-blown cheat weekend,” she explained. “I’m talking eating to the point of literally being in so much physical pain — and kept going.”
