Group Programs Best For Weight Loss
Dear Reader,
Here's the latest on the weight loss front. If you're trying to lose, new research appearing in the journal Obesity finds that you'll do better to try as part of a group. When you're part of a group on the same journey, there's a willingness to try strategies that have proven helpful for others as well as access to invaluable support and encouragement. With just about 70% of American adults falling into the overweight or obese category, these days experts are looking for practical solutions everyone can use to drop those unhealthy pounds.
This latest research, the first to compare professionally delivered group based behavioral weight loss treatment to a commercially available program, involved 141 overweight or obese adults and assigned them to one of three groups. One group got 48 weeks of behavioral weight loss treatment from a professional, the second group spent 48 weeks in Weight Watchers where meetings are led by members who have achieved and maintained a healthy weight. The final group got a combined approach, they had 12 weeks of behavioral weight loss and transitioned to 36 weeks of participation in Weight Watchers. The team expected that the combination approach would bring the biggest weight loss.
Weight Watchers was chosen because it's the largest program in the U.S. and has an approach that's similar to professionally delivered treatment administered in medical centers. The approach in Weight Watchers centers on behavior change and supplies practical information on changing the diet and getting more active to drop the weight and keep it off. The support of the other members of the group is invaluable. The Weight Watchers program costs about $10 a week, while professionally led programs can range in price from $10 to $35 per week, perhaps more.
The research findings certainly didn't work out the way team, including Angela Marinilli Pinto, PhD who is assistant professor of psychology at Baruch College at the City University of New York, had expected. At the 48 week point, there was no evidence that adding a brief period of professionally led treatment to Weight Watcher membership brought any better results.
At this point...
- The behavioral weight loss treatment group lost 11.9 pounds.
- The Weight Watchers group lost 13.2 pounds.
- The combination group lost the least, 7.9 pounds on average.

Group Programs Best For Weight Loss Continued...
The Weight Watchers group were more likely to lose 10% of more of the weight they started at than either of the other two groups. Losing this much weight is considered to be enough to make a difference in risk of disease.
It appears there's no evidence for adding professional guidance to weight loss programs. Peer led groups work very well. These results are a bit surprising as most studies have found that education from professionals like dietitians or therapists helps people understand the issues involved in overeating and stick with the necessary lifestyle changes. The study does show that regular involvement with weight loss meetings helps when it comes to weight loss. This is something to think about when it comes to your own battle against the scale.
To your good health,

P.S: Nike...Ebay...Amazon and Walmart pay for your opinion
Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
People like Michelle McAllister - a 34 year old full-time mother of two. Michelle and many others help "big business" make millions, although they haven't got any marketing or sales experience.
In fact Michelle knows absolutely nothing about business, but she does know what she likes...
And that's exactly the information these companies are after and will pay you for.
