“…Trend data also suggest that low fat intake might be more important in weight maintenance in these children than appropriate amounts of physical activity. The results of this study are not in agreement with the findings of a similar study in adults where subjects who were adhering to a physical activity programme and/or were controlling their eating behaviour were more successful in maintaining their weight loss than subjects who were only controlling their eating behaviour or did neither of them [4]. Moreover, several studies in adults have reported that groups who were highly active maintained a greater part of their initial weight loss than did those who were less physically active independent of their eating behaviour (see review, [25]).…”

“…Associations between weight regain and physical activity may be biased by eating behaviour, and the associations between weight regain and eating behaviour may be dependent on the degree of physical activity. In a study in adults, participants were grouped according to their commitment to an ongoing physical activity programme and to their consistent use of behavioural strategies to control their eating behaviour [4]. In the study, adult subjects who adhered to both behaviours or only to an activity programme were more successful in maintaining weight loss than subjects who were only controlling their eating behaviour or did neither of them.…”

“…Weight loss maintenance is obviously associated with lower total caloric intake (34) and reduced portion sizes (35). More specifically, weight maintenance is also associated with reduced frequency of snacks (36) and less dietary fat (4,5,29,36,37).…”

Who succeeds in maintaining weight loss? A conceptual review of factors associated with weight loss maintenance and weight regain

Weight loss is difficult to achieve and maintaining the weight loss is an even greater challenge. The identification of factors associated with weight loss maintenance can enhance our understanding for the behaviours and prerequisites that are crucial in sustaining a lowered body weight. In this paper we have reviewed the literature on factors associated with weight loss maintenance and weight regain. We have used a definition of weight maintenance implying intentional weight loss that has subsequently been maintained for at least 6 months. According to our review, successful weight maintenance is associated with more initial weight loss, reaching a self-determined goal weight, having a physically active lifestyle, a regular meal rhythm including breakfast and healthier eating, control of over-eating and self-monitoring of behaviours. Weight maintenance is further associated with an internal motivation to lose weight, social support, better coping strategies and ability to handle life stress, self-efficacy, autonomy, assuming responsibility in life, and overall more psychological strength and stability. Factors that may pose a risk for weight regain include a history of weight cycling, disinhibited eating, binge eating, more hunger, eating in response to negative emotions and stress, and more passive reactions to problems.

“…Increased physical activity is one of the few factors consistently correlated with long-term success in weight management (20,21,22). In addition to increasing energy expenditure, exercise enhances the rate of fat loss and preserves the loss of lean body mass.…”

Strategies for Improving Maintenance of Weight Loss: Toward a continuous care model of obesity management

1993

The management of obesity represents an important objective in the care of many NIDDM patients. In recent years, progress has been made in increasing initial weight reductions, but poor long-term maintenance of weight loss remains a vital clinical concern. This article reviews the challenge of weight-loss maintenance and recommends the adoption of a continuous care model of obesity management. Strategies to improve the long-term maintenance of weight loss are described, and empirical tests of their effectiveness are reviewed. Collectively, the findings suggest that, after treatment for obesity, multifaceted programs comprised of continued professional contact, skills training, social support, and exercise, can enhance the long-term maintenance of weight loss.
