CBNNews.com - Many people believe that dieters who lose weight usually gain it back. But a new survey finds that six of 10 people keep most of the weight off a year later.
And nearly eight percent are still losing weight.
Dieters who keep the weight off tend to exercise, and they spend less time sitting in front of the computer or TV.
One-third of participants gained back some of the weight. But researchers say those are the ones who had the most to lose in the first place.
They say the keys to success are keeping active after the pounds are gone. And sticking with a healthy diet.
Chinese scientists believe that tea can help people lose weight. Reuters reports the researchers spent five years studying obesity.
They found a compound in tea called polyphenol that helps metabolize fats.
And that makes weight loss easier.
The Chinese have long believed that there's a connection between tea and weight loss.
