At the start of the new year, many consumers pledge to\u00a0lose weight\u00a0as a way to boost their health; however, keeping the weight off can be very difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, researchers from California Polytechnic State University have found that the key to keeping weight off is to be strategic about the process. Their study proved that maintaining weight loss is easier when consumers choose healthier foods, track their food intake, and allow themselves to feel encouraged by their progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who maintained their successful weight loss the longest reported greater frequency and repetition in healthy eating choices,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0researcher Suzanne Phelan. \u201cHealthier choices also became more automatic the longer people continued to make those choices. These findings are encouraging for those working at weight loss maintenance. Over time, weight loss maintenance may become easier, requiring less intentional effort.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
