                                Many diets fail because the weight is regained after the active weight loss phase ends. The Renaissance Periodization (RP) diet addresses this by treating dieting as a series of structured phases rather than a continuous, indefinite process. This periodic approach is key to achieving sustainable fat loss and preventing the common 'yo-yo' dieting cycle.
