“…Despite the commonly held belief that weight cycling increases morbidity and disease risk, evidence from rodent models is inconsistent, and that from humans even less compelling . The lack of a standard definition for weight cycling, the complexity of weight‐cycling patterns, and the limitations in the design and methods of analysis of weight‐cycling studies make it difficult to compare risk and benefit across studies . This has led to challenges in drawing definitive conclusions .…”

Introduction Unintentional weight gain is commonly observed in adult humans, often provoking intentional weight loss attempts followed by unintentional weight regain. This episodic variation in body weight over a period of time has been referred to as “weight cycling”. Over the last two decades, weight cycling has been associated with a number of morbid health conditions and increased mortality. This article provides a comprehensive evaluation of recent weight cycling evidence, looks to understand design differences between studies and study outcomes, assesses the need for further research on particular health outcomes and proposes alternative methodologies that will bridge the needs and capabilities of research. Methods Searches were conducted per PRISMA guidelines. Articles on weight cycling in the literature were initially identified using search strings in PubMed. Eligibility assessment of the remaining articles was performed independently by three reviewers to identify publications that presented direct evidence. Results Twenty human studies (in addition to seven animal studies) were selected and retained; 12 accounted for the intentionality of weight loss. Discussion Although weight regain following successful weight loss remains one of the most challenging aspects of body weight regulation, evidence for an adverse effect of weight cycling appears sparse, if it exists at all.

“…The incidence of weight cycling during the COVID-19 pandemic was divided into two categories: those who experienced weight cycling and those who did not experience weight cycling. Weight cycling was assessed using the questionnaire developed by Panarotto et al (2014). It included respondents general data, such as sex and residence.…”

Introduction: Changes in our bodies can cause several problems, particularly for students who are concerned about maintaining an ideal body shape. Many of them try to diet, but their body returns to its previous weight or even increases in weight. Thus, this study aimed to determine the factors that influence the incidence of weight cycling in Indonesian students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study used purposive sampling to collect data. Three hundred college students from West Java province, Indonesia, participated. Weight cycling was the dependent variable and the independent variables were physical activity, sex, and weight management. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors influencing the incidence of weight cycling. Results: Sex, physical activity, skipping meals, and snacking were determinants related to weight cycling incidence. Females had a 0.7 times higher risk of experiencing weight cycling than males. Inactive students were 4.7 times more likely to become weight cyclers, and those who rarely skipped mealtime had lower risk of being weight cyclers. Students who sometimes and always consumed snacks had higher risk of becoming weight cyclers by 3.3 and 2.7 times, respectively, compared to those who rarely consumed snacks. Conclusion: Regular physical activity, not skipping meals, especially breakfast, and practising a healthy diet every day are recommended strategies to avoid weight cycling during a pandemic.
