The Bottom Line

Research tells us that achieving 5% weight loss is the threshold to reduce the risk of chronic diseases linked to obesity. It’s also the range when most people with a BMI of 25+ perceive an improvement in their quality of life, feeling and function. But the biggest concern of employers is the long-term effectiveness of digital weight loss programs to maintain that reduced risk.
