World health and fitness- Meal replacements used to maintain weight loss

Meal Replacements help with maintaining weight loss.

A study carried out by scientists from the University of Ulm, Germany and UCLA Los Angeles California, USA has discovered that by consuming one meal replacement product a day promotes weight loss maintenance.  The four year study of weight loss believes the success of meal replacements is that it makes people follow a more structured diet and following structure helps with behavioural change. The journal goes onto say that this strategy can have beneficial health factors as well, the average weight loss of 3.4 kg of the participants showed improved fasting glucose and insulin levels which are used as biomarkers to determine diabetes.

Even subjects that dropped out from the study during the four year period, showed no significant increase in weight gain. It is believed that the reason for this is that meal replacements offer a convenient and cost effective choice as appose to high calorie meals that take time may also influence an individual’s eating pattern.
