I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.
I remember when the Atkins diet arrived; I lost 16 lb in the first month, but when I stopped, it all went back on again.
At the end of every diet, the path curves back to the trough.
I started dieting. I dieted, dieted, dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.
Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.
From my personal experience, I've put on and lost weight according to each character's requirement, which has taken a toll on my health.
In the fall of 2012 I did drop some weight, and then it all came back on and then some, just like the average person who deals with this goes through.
I think between 2014 and 2015, I made weight five times in 11 months. During that time, I felt my body change. It was able to hold on to more weight. And anybody who makes weight knows that it gets harder and harder to make weight once you've done it that many times.
I think diets are ridiculous because eventually you have to stop, and then what? You put all the weight back on.
I have gained and lost the same 10 pounds so many times over and over again my cellulite must have deja vu!
Think about it - just getting rid of the fat doesn't get rid of the toxins, which are reabsorbed into your body. This creates a vicious cycle. Losing weight without learning to eliminate chemicals is like a merry-go-round. And it's why dieting doesn't work.
Many people struggle with losing weight and then regaining it. But there is no convincing evidence that the effort to lose weight actually promotes more weight gain in the long run.
I don't think you can name one diet I haven't done.
I had tried every diet out there - I would lose weight for a bit, then put it back on again.
Juice fasting destroys your metabolic rate. I see a lot of women who are like, 'Oh, I lost seven pounds and then I gained 10.' That's not what detoxification is about.
Statistically, if you have ever dieted you are extremely likely not only to regain any weight you lose, but to go on to gain even more. Dieting makes you fat.
I have lost and put on big batches of weight in my life many, many times. But what concerns me is the idea of being an obese old woman, because I don't like the idea of being physically incapable in someone else's hands.
My weight went up and down like a yo-yo.
All that [replacing of fat] does is lead to dissatisfaction and I think that dissatisfaction results in overeating.
I gain weight and lose it again in inevitable cycles.
It is so discouraging to have your weight yo-yo.
Unfortunately, our sport has a weight limit, so every season, I have to lose weight. You just get tired of not eating the way you want to eat, so in the off-season, I'll binge and gain a few pounds and then have to lose them back.
Anything you adopt temporarily only begets temporary results, and fluctuating your weight up and down is not lifespan favorable.
