Prepare yourself for success BEFORE you start your Diet.
A recent study from Stanford University shows that it's easier to keep the weight off if you adopt healthy lifestyle habits such as mindfull eating and taking brief walks, BEFORE you begin your weight-loss plan.
The study appeared in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. The researchers found that women who spent eight weeks mastering weight-maintenance skills before beginning their weight-loss program shed the same number of pounds as women who started a weight-loss program immediately.
However results showed that the "maintenance-first" women regained only 3 pounds on average a year later, compared to the average 7-pound gain for those who started their diet "immediately" without any prior preparation!
Study author Michaela Kiernan, PhD said ""The premise for the 'before' idea was that women could have an opportunity to master the maintenance skills before having to worry about losing weight,"
The "maintenance-first" group were able to keep their enthusiasm and momentum going, as they incorporated healthy lifestyle long term rather than simply embarking on a short term diet
