10 CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY

A study of more than 1400 participants in the National Weight Control Registry found that those who had consistent eating patterns across the week and over the year were more likely to maintain their weight loss over the long term. In other words, they didn’t let things like weekends and holidays get them off track. This doesn’t mean you can’t fit in treats and indulge a little on special occasions, but dieting strictly during the week and letting it all go on the weekends or holidays is unlikely to lead to success.
