TL;DR
Weight-maintenance success after weight loss is positively influenced by sibutramine treatment during weight maintenance, by a greater initial weight loss, and by a higher leisure-time physical activity index, which reflects higher levels of activities such as walking and cycling and lower levels of television viewing.
Abstract
Weight-maintenance success after weight loss is positively influenced by sibutramine treatment during weight maintenance, by a greater initial weight loss, and by a higher leisure-time physical activity index, which reflects higher levels of activities such as walking and cycling and lower levels of television viewing.

The fundamental causes of the obesity epidemic are sedentary lifestyles and high-fat energy-dense diets, both resulting from the profound changes taking place in society and the behavioural patterns of communities as a consequence of increased urbanization and industrialization and the disappearance of traditional lifestyles.

Investigating the construct validity and the test-retest reliability of a self-administered questionnaire about habitual physical activity in young males and females in three age groups in a Dutch population found that level of education was inverselyrelated to the work index, and positively related to the leisure-time index in both sexes.

It is found that in the National Weight Control Registry, successful long-term weight loss maintainers share common behavioral strategies, including eating a diet low in fat, frequent self-monitoring of body weight and food intake, and high levels of regular physical activity.
The LancetRandomised placebo-controlled trial of orlistat for weight loss and prevention of weight regain in obese patients
1,203 Citations1998Lars Sjöström, Aila Rissanen +5 more
Orlistat taken with an appropriate diet promotes clinically significant weight loss and reduces weight regain in obese patients over a 2-year period and the use of orlistat beyond 2 years needs careful monitoring with respect to efficacy and adverse events.

In conclusion, a large proportion of obese individuals with NIDDM, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia experienced positive health benefits with modest weight loss, and even a small amount of weight loss appears to benefit a substantial subset of obese patients.

It is suggested that several years of successful weight maintenance increase the probability of future weight maintenance and that weight regain is due at least in part to failure to maintain behavior changes.

It is found that exercise has had little or no effect on weight loss per se when the exercise is limited to the typically prescribed 3-5 h/wk of moderate or vigorous activity, however, further review has shown that exercise helps to preserve and at times even increase fat-free mass during weight loss.
