By some estimates, more than 80 percent of people who lose weight, regain all of it back in about two years, with many packing on even more pounds, known as the Yo-Yo Diet Cycle. Researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, analyzed 31 long-term diet studies and found that about two-thirds of dieters regained more weight within four or five years than they initially lost.

Cycling is defined as a significant increase or decrease of body weight (generally 10 pounds or more) that occurs multiple times. Researchers believe a yo-yo pattern is often the result of a diet that’s too restrictive, and a study reported in the journal Obesity backs that up.
