Weight maintenance after 10 years is rarely assessed especially in commercial programs. The current article reports weight maintenance in individuals who had participated 2 to 11 years earlier in a popular commercial weight loss program based on Canada s Food Guide called Mincavi. Methods Randomly picked subjects answered a telephone questionnaire. Participants 291 adult women from various regions of the province of Quebec had followed the program 2 to 11 years earlier for at least a month. Body weight at the beginning and at the end of treatment was recorded as well as actual weight age and height. Existing records allowed partial verification of the sample. Results Based on corrected weights percentage of women who maintained at least 5 of their initial weight loss are as following 2 years 43.6 n 55 3 years 33.3 n 42 4 years 23.8 n 42 5-6 years 38.2 n 55 7-8 years 29.4 n 51 and 9-11 years 19.6 n .
