According to the study led by Joseph Proietto, Sir Edward Dunlop Professor of Medicine at the University of Melbourne and Head of the Weight Control Clinic at Austin Health in Australia, in a comparison of two groups, one of which dramatically cut their daily calorie intake for 12 weeks, and another which cut back slightly over 36 weeks, the rapid weight loss group was more likely to hit their targets and just as likely to maintain their weight loss three years on.

People in both groups who achieved their targets were followed up for another three years at which time both groups had regained about 71 per cent of their weight.

Losing weight quickly may also motivate participants to persist with their diet and achieve better results. The study was published in The Lancet.
