Need to shed some extra pounds? Or maybe you\u2019re looking for a total body transformation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, losing weight is not the hardest thing about your weight loss journey. It\u2019s not putting it back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A meta-analysis of 29 long-term weight loss studies<\/a> sheds light on this common problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis found that within 2 years, more than half of the participants had put all the weight back on. Within 5 years, 80% of people who had lost weight regained it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Findings from the DIETFITS study<\/a> suggest that healthy and sustainable eating and lifestyle habits can help keep weight off better than any specific diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the study, 609 overweight participants followed either a low-fat or low-carb diet for 8 weeks. After this period, they slowly added back fat and carbs to a level they felt they could maintain for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were also instructed on how to eat healthily and encouraged to engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week. Both groups lost around 12lbs (5.4kg) a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing weight without being on a strict diet can be liberating. Weight loss rewards can help support healthy lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we look at the value of SMART goals, share weight loss reward ideas, and show you how to stay motivated and on track to reach your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
