- A new study has found that individuals who followed a routine eating pattern lost more weight during a 12-week behavioral weight loss program compared to those with a varied diet.
- The findings suggest that consistent caloric intake is associated with greater weight loss results.
Researchers analyzed real-time food logs from 112 adults with overweight or obesity who participated in a structured behavioral weight loss program. The study found that individuals who repeated the same meals and snacks lost an average of 5.9% of their body weight, compared to a 4.3% loss among those with a more varied diet.
According to Kristin Kirkpatrick, registered dietitian at The Cleveland Clinic Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine, "consistency works best when the foundation is strong." She notes that simplifying food choices and maintaining a steady calorie intake may help individuals build sustainable, healthy habits, even in challenging food environments.
