Mini #48
Includes Food Tracking Printable
What if picking up a pen could more than double your weight-loss results? Would you be interested? Recent research conducted by Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research and published in the August 08 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed those who kept a food diary ended up losing twice as much weight as those who did not.
“The more food records people kept, the more weight they lost,” says Jack Hollis PhD, a researcher at KPCHR and lead author of the study published in the August issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. “Those who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records. It seems that the simple act of writing down what you eat encourages people to consume fewer calories.”
