Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that longer cognitive-behavioral weight-loss programs that include exercise and relapse prevention strategies are most successful in producing significant weight loss and maintenance of weight loss. While modest weight loss can be achieved through shorter programs, they often do not address the behavioral and lifestyle factors that contribute to weight gain and make it difficult to maintain weight loss. Additionally, cognitive-behavioral programs have been found to be effective for both mildly and severely obese individuals. The claim that 95 percent of diets fail is a widely cited myth unsupported by research.
