The National Weight Control Registry, a program founded by James O. Hill Ph.D. and Rena Wing Ph.D., tracks the behaviors of over 5,000 people who have lost weight, in an effort to learn what they have done to keep the weight off long-term.
According to their study:
- 98% of participants reported that they modified their food intake in some way to lose weight.
- 94% of participants increased their physical activity.
- 90% exercise at least once per day
- 78% eat breakfast everyday
So, according to this study, people who exercise once per day, change their eating habits, and eat breakfast everyday have the highest chance of losing weight and keeping it off long-term.
