Weight Control - VegetariansWeight Control - Maintain Healthy WeightWeight control refers to the act of maintaining weight at a healthy level. Many vegetarian dieters lose weight, but then lose control and regain most of the weight lost. Some dieters choose diet programs that cause excessive amounts of water weight loss or lose weight with pills. Typically, these weight loss methods are only temporary, and most (if not all) weight is regained. Weight control for both vegetarians and meat-eaters is about maintaining weight over the LONG term.
Weight Control - Stable Eating HabitsWeight control focuses on developing stable and healthy eating habits, together with regular exercise habits. Weight control is a pattern of routines, rather than a weight loss program with a weight target to achieve within a set time. Weight control is about controlling a range of weight-related habits like: food shopping, cooking, dining out habits, exercise and lifestyle. Weight control involves diet modification, and developing a healthy, positive attitude to food. Weight control usually means adopting new attitudes towards yourself, your weight and body shape, and developing more realistic expectations of how weight affects your life. Research Data from US National Weight Control RegistryThe National Weight Control Registry was founded in 1993 and is a collaborative venture between Dr James Hill of the University of Colorado and Dr. Rena Wing of the University of Pittsburgh. The purpose of this national weight control database is to compile information on a large group of people who have lost weight loss and then kept it off. The National Weight Control Registry uses quantitative measures to describe weight-loss and weight-maintenance strategies. There are over 2,000 people, from all over the United States, enrolled in the NWCR. National Weight Control Registry - Weight Loss MythsOne of the most popular myths about weight loss is that everyone who loses weight will eventually gain it back. The National Weight Control Registry is a research study which has exploded this myth and shown that successful weight loss is indeed possible. Weight Control Findings - National Weight Control RegistryEating a regular breakfast, following a low-fat diet and regular fairly robust exercise are some of the successful weight control strategies being used.
