One of the most difficult challenges in weight loss is keeping the weight off over the long term A new report outlines differences between individuals as one of the key challenges associated with weight loss and long-term weight control. Authors reinforce that maintaining weight loss over the long term can be a major challenge. The authors recommend further exploration into the following areas to improve weight-loss maintenance: • Pharmacological strategies to counter the physiological changes that occur after weight loss, which require adjustments to the drug development process (e.g. pairing different medications or combining medication and behavioral approaches). • New ways to improve adherence to physical activity programs. • Foods engineered to maximize palatability and satiation to improve long-term adherence to a lower-calorie diet. • Strategies to decrease the perceived reward value of foods and increase impulse control. • Technologies (e.g. smart phones, tablets, GPS) and social networking to keep individuals engaged and goal-oriented.
