How to Double Your Slimming Success

Posted: 9. December, 2011 0

A study conducted by Ian Caterson compared commercial weight-loss programs with programs that you get from the doctor or nurse. The study included obese adults from Australia, Germany, and United Kingdom. The results showed that people who joined commercial weight-loss programs lost an average of 5.06 kilograms. The people who received standard care lost an average of 2.25 kilograms.

Volunteers who followed a weight-loss program for a year lost twice as much weight as those who tapped their GP for advice. They also shed more fat mass, had slimmer waists, and greater improvements in insulin and cholesterol levels.

“The greater level of contact, the more frequent opportunities to be weighed, the peer support, and the access to information and resources such as recipes than those in the Weight Watchers program had could have been significant factors,” said Professor Caterson.

Losing weight is not an easy task or something you can do overnight. As a matter of fact, losing weight too quickly can be harmful to your body. A weight-loss program provides you with a long-term plan to succeed. It’s a step-by-step guide to follow that will ensure that you stay on track at all times.

Don’t try to lose weight by yourself. Team up with a family member or a friend. It makes it so much easier. Communities that often surround a weight-loss program can also help you in your attempt to lose weight.
