Most successful dieters regain the weight they lost. But new research shows
that a daily weigh-in - and quick adjustments to diet and exercise - can
significantly help dieters maintain weight loss. The clinical trial,
conducted by researchers at The Miriam Hospital and Brown Medical School,
reports results of the first program designed specifically for weight loss
maintenance. The study appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Unlike other obesity studies, which focus on how to lose weight, the "STOP
Regain" trial tested a method that taught participants how to keep those
pounds from coming back - regardless of the method they used to lose the
weight in the first place.

Self-regulation is the core of STOP Regain

keep pounds off is key.

It seems they would advocate the tail wagging the dog.

The tail is the weigh-in and daily weigh-ins would be a lot of
tail-wagging.

Much wiser is addressing the dog, which is overeating.

Knowing how to eat less down to the right amount and staying at this
right amount by befriending the hunger that arises with better
leaner&trimmer health (overcoming type-2 diabetes) is the true key to
losing weight permanently.

May GOD continue to heal your heart by curing your diabetes, dear
neighbor GysdeJongh whom I love unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

As for knowing who are the very elect, these you will know by the
unconditional love they have for everyone including their enemies
(Matthew 5:44-45, 1 Corinthians 13:3, James 2:14-17).

No, I think a better analogy would be that they advocate putting a
calorometer on the dog's tail to measure the effect of whatever they
are doing to the dog.

The tail is the weigh-in and daily weigh-ins would be a lot of
tail-wagging.

To borrow shamelessly from MasterCard:
Scale: $24.95
One minute to Weigh in every morning: $0.42 (Average American makes
~$50K/year incl fringe)
The Measurement to assist in maintaining your new form: PRICELESS

Much wiser is addressing the dog, which is overeating.

I suspect that you could incorporate measurement into a plan to
eliminate overeating. In fact, I would say suspect is putting it very
very cautiously without necessity.

Chung Speak Snipped... We've all bee there before.

-Hollywood, who always says, you will have a tough time managing what
you are not measuring (others will take this further).

By the way, I forgot. Where is your peer reviewed study? They actually
created a study with a control group and two different versions of
intervention. Then they followed them for 18 months. They logged all
this in such a way that it passed the peer review at the New England
Journal of Medicine, one of the premier journals catering to medical
research.

I missed your paper on the 2PD-OMER Diet's efficacy when compared to
other diets, with proper controls and measurements. Maybe it wasn't in
NEJM but in Lancet or some other prestigious peer reviewed journal of
medical research. Like I said, I must have missed it.

-Hollywood, who thinks weighing properly can have an important role to
play in loss and maintenance.
