Yo-yo dieting is not a new phenomenon although it is a curious one. In fact, the US is a nation of yo-yo dieters. Statistics show that more than 90% of American women have dieted at some point of their lives and a little over 60% of them are on a diet continuously. Cyclic dieting not only packs on the pounds, it also puts the dieter's health and life in danger. Although the exact factors that lead to cyclic dieting are as yet unknown, experts believe that there is a strong connection between toxicity in the body and yo-yo dieting.
