Maintenance Is Important for Weight Loss

Research suggests that maintenance treatment is important to ensure that weight lost is kept off. Lead by Michael J. Perri, a team of researchers focused on the impact of maintenance treatment in preventing weight regain. What they found was that individuals who followed a weight loss program with a follow-up maintenance program were more successful at maintaining the original weight than those who did not follow a maintenance program. Individuals who did not follow a maintenance program actually experienced rebound weight gain.
