Why do I gain weight back after a crash diet?

Crash diets often slow down metabolism and cause muscle loss, both of which make it easier to regain weight once normal eating resumes. This pattern, known as yo-yo dieting, is one of the main reasons crash diets fail long-term.

Is it better to lose weight slowly?

Yes, gradual weight loss, typically around 0.5 to 1 kg per week, is generally considered more sustainable and is less likely to result in muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, or rapid weight regain compared to crash dieting.

What does Ayurveda recommend instead of crash dieting?

Ayurveda recommends gradual, mindful eating habits that support healthy digestion (Agni), along with eating according to your body's constitution and maintaining a consistent daily routine, rather than sudden, extreme restriction.
