Ep 71. Big v small Calorie deficit & weight regain risk
Manage episode 291102781 series 2566219
Do big Calorie deficits, and fast weight loss increase the risk of weight regain?
I’ve been a proponent of the more assertive approach to setting Calorie deficits, in seeking more rapid rates of weight loss. However, by todays standards what I once considered to be “aggressive” (in terms of Calorie deficit size), seems to be the new norm and rapid weight loss is almost now “trending” in the nutrition space.
As part of a Master’s research project, I sought to review the current literature assessing the magnitude and prevalence of weight regain after either an assertive or conservative weight-loss diets, which as a result saw either “fast or slow(er)” weight loss. As a result, my stance on aggressive versus conservative approaches to weight loss has changed a little. You might be surprised, by my conclusions.
