Don’t you love it when your views are vindicated by an objective third party?
I’m feeling smugly content because sciencedaily.com (love that site–because I’m all about scientific verification) posted a report today confirming that people who keep track of their food intake lose twice as much "weight" than those who don’t. (By "weight," I’m presuming the researchers mean "fat." That’s the only weight we want to lose.)
Here’s the blurb:
ScienceDaily (2008-07-08) — Study of nearly 1,700 participants shows that keeping a food diary can double a person’s weight loss. The study found that the best predictors of weight loss were how frequently food diaries were kept and how many support sessions the participants attended. Those who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records.
This sounds like quite a well-crafted study. I recommend you read the full article.
