She has learned that she cannot relax this regimen if she wants to maintain her weight. “My natural tendency is to regain,” she said."
My Comment:
In the NWCR 10,000 people have maintained their weight loss with 1500 calorie diet and walking 1 hour a day. Dr. Kerns is one of those people. The article says nothing of how Dr. Kerns deals with hunger.

To relay on exercise will eventually fail with injury. As with the winner of the Biggest Loser Danny Cahill suffered injuries he regained weight. The article does not mention if he kept to a 1500 calorie diet or tried diet medications.
