Lifestyle habits associated with weight regain after intentional loss in primary care patients participating in a randomized trial.
This study examined lifestyle habits associated with weight regain at 6 and 24 months after intentional loss in primary care patients. This randomized trial used adult primary care patients who had a recent weight loss of at least 5%. Lifestyle habits measured using the Connor Diet Habit Survey included consumption of low-fat foods, fish, desserts, sugary beverages, fruits and vegetables and eating at restaurants; moderate-vigorous physical activity by self-report; steps recorded on a pedometer; and sedentary behavior by self-report. Participants had a mean age of 53.4 years, were 26% male and 88% white. Overall, they maintained weight loss at 6 months, but began to regain weight at 24 months. The habits most attributed to weight regain included more eating at restaurants, less fish consumption, and less physical activity. More sedentary behavior was associated with weight regain at 6 months, and reduced consumption of low-fat foods and more desserts and sugary beverages were associated with weight regain at 24 months.
