“…Furthermore, behaviors associated with successful weight management such as monitoring of food intake [77], limited intake of fast food [76], and sugar sweetened beverages [58], limited TV viewing [78], regular self-weighing [79], eating breakfast [80], and meal planning [81] were not closely tracked or routinely reported or, when reported, distinctions were not made based on race/ethnicity and or sex [9]. In a recent article, by Barnes and Kimbro [82], limiting fat intake, consuming less fast food, and monthly weighing were associated with better long-term weight control in AAs who successfully reduced their weight by ≥10% and maintained the loss for at least one year. This further emphasizes that consistent documentation of these types of behaviors in the literature, and by race/ethnicity and sex when appropriate, can help to identify behaviors that lead to successful long-term weight control [83, 84].…”

“…In addition, data suggest black women have accurate knowledge of the health risks of obesity [42]; however, these health considerations are often trumped by black women’s belief that a larger body size is embraced in their culture [21, 22, 37, 42]. This notion is supported by qualitative data from focus groups of African American women involved in weight control programs where they describe social pressures “not to lose too much weight” [43]. Thus, body size perceptions likely influence weight control, physical activity and, ultimately CV risk in black women.…”

“…Despite high awareness of health risks associated with obesity 142, Black women's health concerns are jeopardized by their cultural beliefs that are more tolerant of large body size (5). Black women involved in weight control programs have described social pressures such as "not to lose too much weight" (17).…”
