Want to Lose Weight? Don't Give in to the Kids!

Do you ever wonder what type of people actually lose weight and keep it off? What do they look like, act like, do in their spare time? You ask that because everyone you know has a very up-and-down relationship with the scale. None of your friends or colleagues have been successful at losing weight except for that one woman who spent a fortune on that one dieting program–and you don’t have that fortune.
A group of studies on weight loss can combine to give us a good profile of the person who loses weight and keeps it off. It also can give us a negative profile of the person who gains weight and then gains some more, or the person who loses weight and then puts it right back on, as a majority of dieters do.
One mammoth study that followed 33,000 people over six years came up with some very interesting factors that identified a profile for adults who want to successfully lose weight. What the scientists found as they sifted through all of the data was this: adults who lived alone or with a partner their age were much more successful at losing weight than those who lived with children in a family context.
Now, no one is telling you to run away from your responsibilities and let your husband deal with the kids! What is interesting in the study results is that women who were at a life stage when they were raising children ate far more pizza, ice cream, bacon and cheese (to name the primary culprits) than women who lived alone or with other adults. The totals were not appetizing: an average of 4.9 grams of fat more for the women with children.
