Registry Tracks Successful Losers of Weight

I often get asked advice on fat loss. Having been a trainer since 1999 I do know a thing or two as I used to specialize in achieving fat loss for my clients. While it’s not my main focus currently, I came across an old article I wrote years ago and thought to share.

As a certified ACE trainer (American Council on Exercise), I have their amazing textbook. In ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science textbook, their chapter on nutrition contains a summary of a very enlightening study.

The National Weight Control Registry is a database that tracks people who have successfully lost 30lbs or more and who have maintained that weight loss for over one year. ACE's book writes that this registry "has uncovered an abundance of tried and true tips to help people lose weight and keep it off".

What an amazing registry: simple wisdom, easy to implement, and motivating as it provides confidence that following these tips have helped so many others.

Here are the 10 insights:
