Proven Weight Loss Program Studies

Proven Weight Loss Program Study

Our Weight Loss program was adapted and licensed from one of the only proven weight loss programs. We believe in this program and witness it working with many other weight loss clinics. Not only have we tried the program and seen it work It was proven to work in two separate studies. One is an Institutional Review Board approved Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Trial, as well as a Prospective, Longitudinal Cohort Study of the Classic Weight Loss Program.

The results of the prospective cohort analysis are listed below, which not only included the best results but even the least results. This analysis demonstrated that the Personalized & Supervised Weight Loss Direct Classic weight loss program is very effective as you can see from the results below.

The prospective cohort analysis demonstrated that the top 25% of Personalized & Supervised Weight Loss Direct Classic weight loss program participants lost an average of 38.7 pounds.

The overall average weight loss of the Classic Weight Loss program was 26.2 pounds*

Both studies demonstrated that the average user not only sustained their weight loss but continued to lose weight after the weight loss phase of the program. The average user in the Prospective study lost over 3 lbs., while the average user of the RCT lost 1.4 lbs. after the weight loss phase of the program.

The IRB approved Randomized Controlled trial demonstrated that participants of the non-personalized & unsupervised Classic weight loss program safely lost an average of 6.13 pounds in the first 21 days.*

Results

The results below show the results of the studies, and you can see they pretty good results. At Abosiflty we strive for our clients to be on the top half of the results. With any diet /program everyone’s results are different. There are many hurdles / physical disabilities that you can’t control that make it harder to lose weight compared to other people. With any disability you must work harder and overcome it. Yes, it’s not fair however we believe you can overcome it and we will help you along the way. The biggest hurdle we see is people cheating on the diet. This program is very ridged and even one cheat can set you back up to 4 days. We believe the people that cheat on the diet is bottom 25% of participants in the study. Of course, we can’t prove that without doing a study where we prevent cheating. Therefore, it’s absofitly important to follow the program completely to get the best results.

Conclusion

Effectiveness of the Program:

Both studies demonstrate that the Weight Loss Direct 40-Day Weight Loss Program is effective for weight loss. 

 
Safety:

The RCT trial utilized multiple factors including comprehensive blood work to demonstrate that the Weight Loss Direct 40-Day weight loss program resulted in safe weight loss.

 
Sustainability of the Weight Loss:

Both the Prospective Longitudinal Trial and the Randomized Controlled Trial demonstrated sustainability of the weight loss with the RCT showing the weight loss continued after the weight loss phase from day 45 to day 112 during which time the calories were substantially raised with the average person losing an additional 1.4 lbs. on average. The Prospective trial demonstrated that during the 21 to 30 days after the weight loss phase “comparing the set point weight to the maximum of the weights reported throughout the entire maintenance period revealed an average continued weight loss of 3.1 lbs. for women and 3.3 lbs. for men. 84.2% of women and 80.0% of men had no weight gain or continued to lose weight compared to their weight set point throughout a one-month period following the last day of the weight reduction phase of the program and after a substantial increase in calories added back to diet. 95.0% of women and 92.1% of men maintained a weight within 2 lbs. of their set point weight.”

The results of this study indicates that the Weight Loss Direct weight loss program safely and effectively effectuated weight loss results.
