Key to Successful Weight Loss Uncovered

Timing of exercise was found to be the key to successful weight loss, revealed a study of 375 adults who have successfully maintained weight loss and who engage in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity. The findings of the study are //published in Obesity. "Our findings warrant future experimental research to determine whether promoting consistency in the time of day that planned and structured physical activity is performed can help individuals achieve and sustain higher levels of physical activity," said senior author Dale Bond, PhD of the Brown Alpert Medical School.

"It will also be important to determine whether there is a specific time of day that is more advantageous for individuals who have initial low physical activity levels to develop a physical activity habit," added first author Leah Schumacher, PhD.
