The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) consists of over 4800 individuals who have been successful in long-term weight loss maintenance. The purpose of establishing the NWCR was to identify the common characteristics of those who succeed in long-term weight loss maintenance. We found very little similarity in how these individuals lost weight but some common behaviors in how they are keeping their weight off. To maintain their weight loss NWCR participants report eating a relatively low-fat diet, eating breakfast almost every day, weighing themselves regularly, and engaging in high levels (about 1 hour/day) of physical activity. Because this is not a random sample of those who attempt weight loss, the results have limited generalizability to the entire population of overweight and obese individuals. The value of this project lies in identifying potential strategies that may help others be more successful in keeping weight off.
国家体重控制登记处（NWCR）由4800多名成功长期维持体重减轻的人组成。建立NWCR的目的是确定那些成功长期维持体重减轻的人的共同特征。我们发现这些人在减肥方式上几乎没有相似之处，但在保持体重的方式上有一些共同行为。为了维持体重减轻，NWCR的参与者报告说他们食用相对低脂的饮食，几乎每天吃早餐，定期称体重，并进行高强度（约每天1小时）的体育活动。由于这不是试图减肥人群的随机样本，因此结果对超重和肥胖个体的整个人口的普遍性有限。这个项目的价值在于确定可能帮助其他人更成功地保持体重的潜在策略。
