This study looked at 388 Portuguese people who lost at least 5kg and kept it off for at least a year (average was 18kg loss maintained for 28 months). This is what they found helped...
. •Regular exercise (average of 5 hours a week, although exact amount was very individual)
•Healthy foods available at home •Eating vegetables
•Daily breakfast
•Increasing protein-rich foods
•Increased self-monitoring
•Establishing specific goals
•Better educated
.
Also really interesting was the fact that taking weight loss supplements was actually counterproductive to both weight loss and maintenance.
