| Eat tactically to sustain long-term weight loss. Methods that may be more successful in later life for weight loss include consuming fewer fried foods, desserts and sugar-sweetened drinks, and going out to eat less often. A study published in the September 2012 issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that postmenopausal women who weighed less after four years ate fewer desserts and consumed fewer sugary drinks. Overall, less meat and cheese, and more fruit, vegetables and fish were additional important predictors of long-term weight loss. |
