Jessica Simpson has been honest about everything from her career ups and downs to her sobriety journey and her relationship with something very close to home—in fact, it is her home: her body. She's not alone in terms of the weight-loss roller coaster, says Mary Stewart, RD, LD, a registered dietitian and the founder of Cultivate Nutrition in Dallas. In fact, it has a name: weight cycling. "Weight cycling is defined as repeated attempts at losing and gaining weight. Some studies show the role weight cycling may play in adverse health events," she says, including higher risk of death, poor sleep quality and symptoms of depression. It's reported that 20% to 35% of men and 20% to 55% of women have cycled up and down in their weight, according to data published in the Journal of Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome. So, why might someone lose and then regain the weight (and more)? "One of the biggest reasons yo-yo dieting is a struggle for so many is because the dietary approach is not sustainable for that individual's lifestyle," Stewart says. "Unfortunately, many trendy diets create unnecessary drastic and strict dietary changes, which are not feasible to maintain, and therefore these diets are not designed in a way that leads to true habit change," she adds. As for Simpson, after welcoming her youngest child, Birdie Mae, in March 2019, the star embarked on a program designed by celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. The plan in particular: The Body Reset Diet, which is described in detail in a recently revised book. In 2019, Pasternak told People: "I've kind of helped her come back after each baby, and this is a bit different, in that she said she was tipping the scales at 240 [post-delivery]. This is sort of the aggregate of being pregnant nonstop for a decade, and so we had a little more of a challenge between this and the other ones." He adds to E News: "It had to be more than just getting back from her baby weight, but how do I keep whatever I am doing now forever. That's why we are not a big fan of doing any extreme diet or radical forms of exercise." While she no longer relies on scales to judge her progress, Simpson has clearly maintained that post-baby loss for years and says that she feels physically and mentally stronger than ever. So what is this "reset," exactly, and how did it help the fit mom change her life once and for all? We asked Stewart and Michelle Hyman, RD, a registered dietitian specializing in weight management in Long Beach, New York, for the scoop.

The Body Reset Diet includes three meals featuring protein, fiber and fat, as well as two snacks, such as almonds or edamame, per day. In the early phases of this diet, things are pretty strict (more on this shortly). Later on, food choices loosen up a bit. "... If she has a birthday party one night and a date night another night, she's going to indulge both of those nights, but that's it," Pasternak tells People. "It's about balancing in a way that doesn't make it painful or too much of a departure from your life before that." In addition, Simpson also tossed out her scale and no longer weighs herself.

Read More »Because the complexity of celebrity diets may not mesh with your own lifestyle, these are often short-term fixes. "Most people can follow diets or structured meal plans for short periods of time. These diets and meal plans that are glorified by celebrities are 'blanket' plans that are not individualized for the general public," Hyman warns. "The celebrity may be getting a personalized plan to their likes and dislikes due to paying large amounts of money for the service, but when they promote the plan in interviews, options generally aren't mentioned. Following a strict plan does not take into consideration everyday life, like social events involving food, vacations or eating at restaurants. It also does not address the underlying causes for unexplained weight gain; for example, struggling with self-care when stressed at work," she says. The overall tenets are fairly sound, however, Stewart says, especially if you allow for more flexibility in the plan. "The combination of daily movement, consistent mealtimes, focusing on whole foods including a balance of fiber, healthy fats and lean protein, and prioritizing sleep will give the body the foundation it needs to maximize health," she says. Just know that there's nothing magic about Simpson's specifics of meal and snacks, step counts and unplugged time. It's what works for you that matters. "According to research, there is actually no one optimal eating frequency for weight loss. Three meals and two snacks a day may work great for some, but not others," Hyman says. One smart move you can take from Simpson is ditching the scale. "I appreciate how she tries hard to not let a number on the scale define her. The number on the scale is just one way to measure health and certainly does not tell the whole story," says Stewart.
