One can lose weight and prevent from gaining more weight by checking your weight at regular time intervals. This is truer with men.
Those who shed kilos in the first year were able to maintain it in the second year too. This is of utmost importance because 40 per cent of those who reduce their weight will regain it in the next one year. They attain 100 per cent weight in the following 5 years.
According to Professor David Levitsky at Cornell University, the individual requires just a graph sheet or excel spreadsheet, and a bathroom scale.
The study involved dividing the participants into control group and intervention group. Those belonging to intervention group were given a target of 1 per cent weight loss which they can attain through any means as they wish. The professor says they chose their unique way as they were not restricted. This session showed better results in men than women. Researchers said checking weight often and keeping track of one’s own weight will act as a good stimulant in urging one to maintain the same weight. It further strengthens the individual to get involved in weight reduction practices.
