A Brief Eating Spree Can Result In Long Term Weight Gain

It's time to monitor your nutritional discipline more carefully than ever. A recent study, appearing in BioMed Central's open access journal Nutrition & Metabolism discovered a short period of bingeing can have long term effects on body weight and fat storage even though the initial weight is lost. In fact, individuals participating in the study who were put through a four-week period of excess food consumption along with a diminished exercise regimen evidenced increased weight and fat mass more than two years later. The research suggests, intriguingly, that even a brief stint of overindulgence coupled with the absence of exercise during that session can potentially alter a person's physiological profile, making it tougher to lose weight. This sends out a clear message about the long term consequences on our body if we let go of our eating discipline - even if for a brief period. This is especially disastrous news for those trying desperately to shed weight and underlines the need for strict consistency in the way they respond to permissive occasions topped off with epicurean delights.
