NWCR participants said that monitoring their weight by stepping on a scale was something they did frequently. Seventy-five percent of the participants reported weighing themselves at least once a week, and many weighed themselves daily.
The researchers concluded that the heightened awareness that came from the participants’ staying in touch with their weight seemed to serve as an early warning system for them to take action as soon as they noticed that they had picked up a couple of extra pounds. If women and men want lasting weight loss, they need to take steps to ensure that the pounds never come back. And according to the research, the best way for both genders to prevent pound rebound is to adopt a healthy lifestyle. The good news is that if weight is lost through a weight-loss approach that is based on lifestyle modification, the changes that are needed to maintain the weight loss have already been learned and engrained into one’s everyday life.
