The expert explains the reasons that lead us to increase and lose weight quickly during weight loss, with the accordion effect so called
It doesn’t matter if you are trying to gain or lose weight, the accordion effect thus called always difficult to maintain or obtain the desired result. This is what happens when a person has easily earnings and weight loss. The personal trainer and physical educator, Tauan Gomes, explains that the greatest cause of the accordion effect is anxiety, as well as other reasons.
What does the accordion effect cause
“The fattening process takes time, 6 months, 1 year or even 5 or more years of abandonment of health care. There are people who believe that between 20 and 30 days of detoxification it is possible to solve the problem definitively. Believing in this people ends up choosing serious food restriction measures.” He justifies.
In addition to anxiety, the basal metabolic rate (TMB) can also cause the effect of the accordion. It is the minimum energy necessary to keep body functions at rest, such as heartbeat, blood pressure, breathing and maintenance of body temperature.
“According to every profile, age, sex, active or sedentary, weight, height and body mass index (BMI), it is possible to find the basal daily shopping, which is an energy requirement for the maintenance of body and life, which must be consumed daily to keep it in operation”, he explains.
“The accelerated weight fall can cause a remarkable basal metabolic rate, making your body spend less and less energy in a natural way and forcing it to remain increasingly restrictive so that the weight does not increase,” adds the educator.
Tauan also explains that food restriction works, but professional monitoring is needed so that the process is performed correctly. This is because, with the caloric deficit very high suddenly, our body is initially a faster reduction of the weight, but faces some long -term consequences.
One is the increase in cortisol, known as stress hormone. If released in large quantities, it can be the villain of the weight loss process because it causes the body to produce excess adrenaline and insulin and quickly transforming glycogen which (a type of carbohydrates stored in the liver) and sugar.
This causes the accumulation of fat, especially in the region of the abdomen, and forcing its basal metabolism to be increasingly slow to adapt the consumed energy restriction.
The personal trainer also recalls that the strong weight loss causes a large muscle mass catabolism, causing the appearance of more than it has, in addition to the current interruption and productivity for everyday life.
In addition to the reasons already mentioned, one of the causes of the accordion effect, for Tauan, is the lack of planning. “Finish to burn the steps of your process. Given this, it is very important to be able to maintain a rhythm and, above all, a healthy lifestyle, something that will accompany you for the rest of your life,” he says.
The expert also underlines that the process is gradual. “Understand that what has required years to gain weight the individual 8, 12 or 30 kg, it did not happen from today and, therefore, seeking strategies that aim for immediate results can cost their expensive physical and mental health,” he concludes.
