Dr Cleo’s Top 5 Irrefutable Reasons Why Sum Sanos™ Continues to Work
- Despite the significance placed on lifestyle interventions for obesity management, most weight loss is followed by a weight regain. In fact, 97% of weight loss attempts fail. Our habits (our subconscious, automatic behaviours) dictate the majority of our daily activity, yet conventional weight management and lifestyle interventions which focus on changing an individual’s behaviour, are not usually successful at changing an individual’s habits, as they do not incorporate the strategies required to break unhealthy habits and/or form new healthy habits. Sum Sanos™ is a habit-based program designed specifically to change an individual’s habits and therefore achieve long-term outcomes.
- We make over 200 food decisions per day. Most of these decisions appear to be ‘automatic’ or habitual, which means we unconsciously eat without reflection, deliberation or any sense of awareness of what or how much food we select and consume. Therefore, due to the lack of thought required to perform a habit, habitual behaviours override intention. Everyday demands such as time pressures and distractions reduce the capacity to engage in reflective thought; therefore people tend to rely on their eating habits. Habit-change is essential in achieving sustained weight management outcomes.
- Participants in habit-based interventions achieve significant weight loss when compared with other conventional programs or a control group. Habit-based interventions demonstrate clinically important weight loss outcomes and the maintenance of weight loss long-term (research follow-up of up to 2 years).
- Habit-change occurs when we set the right goals (which are achievable), maintain consistency and stay accountable. All key components of Sum Sanos™.
- Accountability, which clients receive from their coach, has shown to double the weight loss outcomes compared with not having accountability/coaching.
Sum Sanos™ Group Program for Successful Weight Loss and Wellness
Combining evidence-based practice of habit based interventions with clinically proven group-based learning.
Despite the significance placed on lifestyle interventions for obesity management, most weight loss is followed by a weight regain. In fact, 97% of weight loss attempts fail.
Since 2015, Dr Gina Cleo, Dietitian and Research Fellow at the Centre for Research in Evidence-Based Practice, at Bond University has been researching why – and has concluded that habit intervention is the only reliable non-surgical way to lose weight and keep it off long-term.
“The research unquestionably confirms habit-based intervention as a reliable way to lose weight long-term and achieve lifelong wellness. After a rigorous amount of robust testing, researching, and achieving the highest level of evidence possible, we are finally able to offer the successful methodologies for the rest of the world in a beautiful and practical program.”
