Long term weight loss

Most of the people who diet, gain their weight back. The national weight loss registry reports that only 5% of people keep the weight off long term. Here is a list of the qualities found in people who did keep the weight off long term:

• They expect failure and keep trying.
• Do not deny themselves; they eat some for taste but not to get full.
• Weigh themselves often.
• Exercise for 1 hour a day. One out of four people walks briskly.
• They add extra bits of physical activity into their daily routine.
• A high carbohydrate/low fat diet works best for most of the people in the registry.
• Eat five small meals per day.
