The Real Secret To Maintaining Weight Loss
By Matthew Johnson
To keep the weight off and reach your fitness goals you must exercise.
A three year follow up on participants in a commercial weight loss
program confirmed some theories about exercise in weight reduction.
Archives of Internal Medicine states, "Twelve percent of the subjects
maintained 75% of their weight loss after leaving the diet program,
57% maintained at least 5% of the loss and 40% gained back more
than they had lost during the diet. The frequency of exercise after
the diet program was the strongest predictor of weight loss maintenance
while television viewing predicted a gain in weight" (Grodstein,
1).
