Daily Weight Loss Tips

According to a study by Bradley Hasbro Children’s Research Center (BHCRC) and The Miriam Hospital, published in the January 2005 issue of the International Journal of Obesity, peer support results in twice the rate of weight maintenance in teenagers.

Teenagers in the study were divided into 2 groups: one group on regular weight loss program with aerobic exercise, and the other group on “Adventure Therapy” program that involved group exercise activities and team-building games. “Adventure Therapy” program involved cooperative games, trust-building exercises, and problem solving challenges.

While initial weight loss was similar in both groups, there was a huge difference in 6 months. In the 6 month followup, twice as many teenagers in the “Adventure Therapy” program maintaned their weight loss.

We all know that weight loss support is very important, and this study proves that peer interaction and support are a very significant factor in weight maintenance.
