Deep dives
Weight loss maintenance and regain patterns
Weight loss maintenance and regain patterns typically follow a consistent trend. After an initial peak in weight loss within six months, gradual weight regain occurs over the months and years ahead. The prevalence of weight regain and the amount of weight regained vary, but studies suggest that maintenance beyond two to four years is crucial for long-term success. Duration spent in maintenance and the frequency of practitioner contacts are important factors for successful maintenance.
