Is retaliatory eating an obstacle on the road to weight loss?

  Many fat friends reflect that the more deliberate control of diet during weight loss, but more likely to “revenge eating”. For example, control themselves not to eat dinner, often before going to bed on the restraint to eat a snack. After eating a full meal, and fall into infinite regret.  So the weight tends to drop and rebound, like a yo-yo, constantly rebounding. In fact, it is the hunger in the head that is at work, which is beyond the control of our self-consciousness and cannot be influenced.  When we consciously interfere with our eating habits, it disrupts the body’s rhythm, and the suppressed appetite is triggered by the brain’s strong desire to produce crazy revenge behavior – overeating. This is what we call retaliatory eating.  In a nutshell – dieting for weight loss is not a way to lose weight in the long run! First of all, obesity is actually a disease. And dieting to lose weight, not only can not treat the root cause of obesity, but also can not meet the body’s daily nutritional needs. Long-term dieting to lose weight, easy to cause nutritional deficiencies, resulting in lower basal metabolism. Once the basic metabolism is reduced, weight loss is easy to rebound or even become more fat.  Some fat friends have questions: “The true meaning of weight loss is not to keep your mouth shut and open your legs? How can you say dieting is not right?” Dieting is not advocated, advocate is to control the diet. The correct way to lose weight is to have a balanced nutrition in three meals and to exercise.  But for patients with severe obesity, controlling the diet is not an easy task. In this case, weight loss surgery is needed to assist patients with severe obesity through the difficult road of weight loss. Bariatric surgery achieves the effect of controlling food intake through the reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, after feedback from numerous post-operative patients, it is not difficult to give up high sugar and high fat foods. Post-operative patients also generally prefer to engage in a healthier lifestyle.
