Weight Control Registry Reveals Secrets To Lasting Weight Loss

Fraud.

For the millions of Americans who struggle to lose weight and keep it off, there may be help. According to a report published by the American College of Sports Medicine in the March/April issue of ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal®, the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) has identified methods that thousands of individuals have used to successfully maintain weight loss...

"One of the most important predictors of continued weight maintenance is sustained high levels of physical activity," said Dr. Hill, who is also the executive director of the Anschutz Health & Wellness Center, a new health promotion and disease prevention center scheduled to open in spring 2012 at the University of Colorado. "Successful weight loss maintenance depends on sustaining the healthy lifestyle behaviors for which NWCR members are most known."

Individuals looking to maintain weight loss should follow these seven tips, suggested by the NWCR:

1. Be active. More than half (54 percent) of NWCR members expend more than 2,000 calories each week. This equals about 200 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise...

3. Enjoy a low-calorie, low-fat diet. The average NWCR member consumes 1,380 calories per day, and less than 30 percent of these calories come from fat...

6. Show some restraint. NWCR members exert great control over their eating habits, and they rarely overeat.

Total caloric intake is a lie.

If they consume on average 1,380 Calories per day and "more than half" burn more than 2,000 Calories per week, then the net consumption of Calories per day is less than 1,094.3 per day.

This is about the same number of Calories the Nazis fed people in Dachau. See here, here, and here.

It is impossible that they "rarely overeat" since it is claimed that they need to burn more than 2000 Calories per week to maintain their weight loss. They are overeating more than 2000 Calories per week, otherwise they would lose weight.

Moderate intensity "exercise" is defined as burning 3.5 - 7.0 kcal per minute. 200 minutes would equal between 700 and 1400 kcal.

Fraud.

Lies.

Crap.

Bulls**t.

All from your experts. They sure as heck are not mine.
