Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. When someone loses weight then gains it back, it can make it harder for them to lose weight again because their body's metabolism may slow down and their set-point weight (the weight their body naturally wants to be) may increase. Additionally, repeated dieting can lead to muscle loss, which is important because muscle burns more calories than fat.
