Recently a new study was presented at the Obesity Society ( a subset of the National Weight Control Registry ). 3000 people who successfully managed their weight were asked to answer yearly questionnaires over a 5 year period. These 9 techniques seemed to stand out:
1) Tracked their food intake.
2) Counted calorie or fat grams or used commercial weight-loss programs to track food intake.
3) Ate about 1800 calories a day, and less than 3000 calories a day.
4) Ate breakfast regularly.
5) Ate similar foods regularly and didn't splurge much on holidays or special occasions.
6) Walked about an hour a day or burned the equivalent calories on another activity.
7) Watched fewer than 10 hours of TV a week.
8) Weighed themselves at least once a week.
9) Limited the amount they ate out ( average of only 3 times a week).
