Breaking the Weight Loss Cycle
Welcome to the Vysana Newsletter, I’m Dr. Sunny Dhesi, GP, aesthetic doctor, and women’s health specialist.
Have you ever noticed that after weeks of dieting and exercising, the weight creeps back on as soon as you relax your efforts? This frustrating cycle is something many people experience, but it’s not just about willpower or discipline — there’s science behind it.

The Weight Set Point Theory: Why It’s Hard to Keep the Weight Off
When we diet, our bodies don’t always respond the way we want them to. Picture your body as a thermostat, naturally programmed to maintain a certain weight. This weight set point is influenced by genetics, hormones, environment and your age. The challenge is that this set point may be higher than what’s healthy for you especially as we age.
When you cut calories, your body’s hunger hormones kick in, making you hyper-focused on food. This is why, despite all your efforts, it’s so easy to fall back into old habits once the diet ends. Your metabolism slows down, and as soon as you return to regular eating, the weight comes back—sometimes even more than before.
How to Break the Cycle and Achieve Sustainable Weight Loss
The good news is, you can break free from this cycle with the right approach:
- Diet: Focus on a long-term healthy eating plan. Learn about portion control and allow yourself occasional treats to create sustainable habits.
- Exercise: Incorporate both aerobic and resistance training. Aim for 25 to 35 minutes most days to not only lose weight but also improve cardiovascular health.
- Stress Management: Practise meditation, talk to a friend, or engage in activities that help reduce stress-induced cortisol levels, which can lead to cravings.
- Sleep: Ensure you’re getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Proper sleep helps control cortisol levels and improves decision-making, making it easier to stick to healthy habits.
But if you’re still struggling there is another option that can help…
