How do you lose weight without gaining it back? 6,000 people who lost more than 20 pounds without gaining weight over the next 3 years shared their experiences. They were interviewed by scientists from the USA, the scientific journal Obesity writes.

According to the Eat This, Not That! publication, many respondents cited their determination as their secret. In their opinion, it is necessary to understand that losing weight is not a hundred-meter race, and the long distance for which endurance is more important than speed. Therefore it is necessary to go slowly but surely to your goal.

Many weight loss sufferers say that they record the number of calories they consume in a day. Often those who succeeded say that they were motivated not so much by the pounds they lost, but by other results of losing weight, such as improved health or a greater sense of self-confidence.
