Date: 2014-12-19 06:42 pm (UTC)When the researchers talk about "weight cycling," do you know how much weight lost and gained is generally meant? I have never deliberately tried to lose or gain weight, so this is not a psychological issue for me, but due to various other factors (like fluctuations in my activity level and eating patterns), it has historically not been uncommon for me to lose or gain, say, 20 US pounds over the course of any given year. My minimum exercise level has been pretty stable since late 2011, so this has gotten a little better, but it's still not unusual for me to lose or gain 10 US pounds in a given year. (Basically, I just lose AND gain very easily.) Does that count as "weight cycling", or is that a small enough range that it's close enough for government work?
For clarification purposes: this isn't something I worry about per se, it's just that I've always been curious whether or not they mean me when I read about weight cycling.
