Science seems to suggest that yo-yo dieting with very low calorie intake can do unpleasant things to a person's metabolism. But even then a person in that category can still be healthy and can still lose weight. You don't seem to be in that category.

Losing and regaining weight repeatedly.1 -
I'm a 6' tall guy who netted less calories per week for 6 months. I'm safely eating 4k per day now. Your metabolism isn't damaged, promise.3

One of the big problems with yoyo dieting is that most people who do it lose weight in a manner that does not optimize muscle retention. They then regain the weight in a manner that optimizes fat rather than muscle gain. Then they repeat the cycle over and over again. A few times of doing that can really affect your overall bf%, which has an effect on how many calories you burn.1

See what jemhh said. The effects on body composition based on how people are doing the dieting can have an impact.1 -
So I'm confused...I thought that once you begin putting weight back on you regain whatever muscle you lost during the weight loss.
ETA- If you are eating enough protein and doing resistance training muscle loss is minimal and usually bounces back after calorie deficit is stopped. Is this correct?
Not to be confused with yo yo dieting slowing metabolism. Two separate things correct?0 -
