ABSTRACT
RCTs suggest that a combination of diet and
exercise generally produces greater weight losses
than diet alone including a decrease in
abdominal fat. More importantly, subjects in
the exercise group adhere to the prescribed diet
better than the no exercise group. One of the
most consistent findings in studies of exercise is
weight maintenance, with maintenance of lost
weight being seen in randomized control trials
after 2 years from the start of intervention.
