Lasting Fat Loss

Meaning

Lasting Fat Loss, also referred to as weight maintenance, is the clinical achievement of significant and sustained reduction in adipose tissue mass that is maintained over an extended period, typically defined as greater than one year. This outcome distinguishes successful weight management from the common pattern of weight cycling or regain, which is often associated with temporary, non-physiological interventions. True lasting fat loss requires a fundamental, successful shift in the individual’s metabolic set point, hormonal regulation, and sustained behavioral changes. The primary goal of any therapeutic weight management program should be this long-term maintenance of a healthier body composition.
