Heavy kids have trouble keeping weight off

New research published that week suggested that overweight kids who ended up losing weight did in fact keep much of that lost weight off using weight maintenance methods and follow-up.

But, that success was dampened in the distant term, as even weight maintenance techniques were found to only be partially successful after two years. Is that a sign? Yes — that the only results which are meaningful need to be looked at in long-term fashion.

Weight loss maintenance is a verbal misnomer in many cases. A total lifestyle change and overtake (permanently) would be a increasingly right method description. Keeping lost weight by the expanded term is

the goal, but those entrenched habits are incredibly tough to break, even for kids (let alone adults with decades of food memories).
