JumpstartMD® Reports Patients Achieve 200% Better Weight Maintenance Results Than WeightWatchers®
San Francisco, March 14, 2013 – JumpstartMD, the leading medical weight loss program recommended by many Bay Area physicians, has announced new findings showing that their average maintenance patient outcomes are 200% better than those of Weight Watchers participants. As long-term maintenance is the greatest challenge for most dieters, these results emphasize JumpstartMD’s exceptional focus on achieving “fast” weight loss that is also healthy and sustainable.
Based on an internal study of actual JumpstartMD patient results, after six months on JumpstartMD maintenance program following initial weight loss phase:
- Average weight “regain” less than 1 pound, (0.9 lbs.)
- Percent of patients who lost >5% total body weight and maintained that loss: 95%
- Percent of patients who lost >10% total body weight and maintained that loss: 87%
*Individual results may vary.
