Successful Weight Control Using Low Fat Diet - 2007/05/11 23:44
This study looked at weight maintenance strategies used by registry members who initially lost weight either 1) on their own, 2) through organized programs, or 3) through programs utilizing liquid diets. Participants who used liquid diets were more likely to be women, older, currently heavier, and to have a history of health problems. All three groups are currently maintaining their weight losses by eating low-energy, low-fat diets and engaging in regular physical activity. Thus, despite using very different methods to initially lose weight, individuals who lost weight on their own, through organized programs, or with liquid diets are all using similar strategies to maintain weight.
