Study Looks for Potential Stick-to-it-iveness Factors

A new study from the Univerersity of Pennsylvania School of Nursing was recently published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation that reported their findings involving a range of diet plans and the factors that could lead dieters toward sticking longer to their weight loss programs and goals.

What the data showed was that in reality—even with diet plans that are effective—all of them suffer from the same problem: dieters rarely stick to any diet beyond the short term.

“There is not convincing evidence that one diet is universally easier to adhere to than another for extended periods, a feature necessary for long-term weight management,” says Ariana M. Chao, PhD, CRNP, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Penn Nursing and lead investigator of the paper.

“Progress in improving dietary adherence could result from greater efforts to examine mechanisms underlying interindividual variability in responses to dietary approaches. The more we understand the characteristics of individuals who are trying to lose weight, the more able we may be to identify dietary interventions that facilitate their efforts.”

While the results of the study yielded no immediate actionable solutions for dieters to the problem of sticking to a diet, at least some of the data gathered does support that (at least in the short term) lower calorie based diets compared with higher-calorie regimens, reliably induced larger short-term weight loss during the first 6 months of dieting. Furthermore, that low-carb versus low-fat dieting offers some weight loss advantages when dieters focused on low-carb dieting.

However, the long game goal of dieting is not to just lose weight, but to keep it off as well. Hence, the importance of this study in trying to find ways to ensure long-term weight loss success.
