Make Your Home Loser-Friendly

Your home environment plays a large role in helping you maintain weight loss. According to a study, those who lost at least 10 percent of their weight and have sustained it for five years or more, plus another sample of people seeking treatment of obesity. They found, not surprisingly, that the weight-losers were more likely to exercise and monitor their diets. But the weight-losers' homes also had fewer TVs, more exercise equipment, and less high-fat food. The study concluded that those who want to maintain weight loss successfully must make changes at home to minimize temptation and create opportunities for exercise.
