Are you or have you ever been a yo-yo dieter? If so, you have probably been told how bad that is for your body. A new BMC Medicine study found those who have lost weight, regained it, lost it, regained it again and again showed surprising improvements. Their abdominal fat profile and metabolic markers were 15% to 25% better, with improved insulin function and cholesterol levels. Of course there is a name for this. Scientists call it "cardiometabolic memory". That appears to be a fancy way of saying the body learns from the good you did it from what you did in the past.
I do not recommend yo-yo dieting. However, if you have fallen into that trap, perhaps you have not harmed your body as much as you may have thought.
