Weight regain after weight loss is a common problem for all those obese or overweight who have had a recent weight loss. Different cures such as diet therapy, behavioral therapy, exercise or a mixture of them have been advised as solutions. The purpose of this review is to find the best diet or eating pattern to maintain a recent weight loss.
WE SEARCHED IN PUBMED AND SCOPUS BY USING THE FOLLOWING KEY WORDS: Overweight, obesity, weight maintenance, weight regain, and diet therapy. Finally, we assessed 26 articles in the present article.
Meal replacement, low carbohydrate-low glycemic index (GI) diet, high protein intake, and moderate fat consumption have shown some positive effects on weight maintenance. However, the results are controversial. A Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-type diet seems helpful for weight maintenance although the need for more study has remained. Some special behaviors were associated with less weight regain, such as, not being awake late at night, drinking lower amount of sugar-sweetened beverages, and following a healthy pattern. Some special foods have been suggested for weight maintenance. However, the roles of specific foods are not confirmed.
Healthy diets recommend low carbohydrate, low GI, and moderate fat foods, but it is not clear whether they are useful in preventing weight gain. It seems that consuming fewer calories helps people to keep weight loss. Further research to find strategies in obesity management focusing on successful maintenance of weight loss is needed.
体重减轻后体重反弹是所有近期体重减轻的肥胖或超重者面临的常见问题。人们建议采用不同的治疗方法，如饮食疗法、行为疗法、运动或它们的组合来解决这个问题。本综述的目的是找到维持近期体重减轻的最佳饮食或饮食模式。
我们在PubMed和Scopus中使用以下关键词进行搜索：超重、肥胖、体重维持、体重反弹和饮食疗法。最后，我们在本文中评估了26篇文章。
代餐、低碳水化合物低血糖指数（GI）饮食、高蛋白质摄入和适量脂肪消耗对体重维持显示出一些积极作用。然而，结果存在争议。虽然仍需要更多研究，但终止高血压膳食方法（DASH）型饮食似乎有助于体重维持。一些特殊行为与较少的体重反弹有关，例如，晚上不熬夜、饮用较少的含糖饮料以及遵循健康模式。有人建议食用一些特殊食物来维持体重。然而，特定食物的作用尚未得到证实。
健康饮食推荐低碳水化合物、低GI和适量脂肪的食物，但它们是否有助于防止体重增加尚不清楚。似乎摄入更少的卡路里有助于人们保持体重减轻。需要进一步研究以找到肥胖管理中侧重于成功维持体重减轻的策略。
