A paper published in 1998 by George Washington University Medical Center researchers reviewed 493 studies performed over 25 years involving weight loss through dieting, exercise, or a combination of both. The good news is that subjects averaged a whopping 24 pound drop in weight over 15 weeks.

There was a difference, however, at the 1 year follow-up. The exercise groups did a much better job of maintaining their weight loss.

The study concluded that when people ate high-quality protein foods, from sources such as eggs and lean Canadian bacon, for breakfast they had a greater sense of sustained fullness throughout the day compared to when more protein was eaten at lunch or dinner medicalnewstoday.com
MY COMMENT: I like to mix an egg in with my bowl of oatmeal. Extra protein in the diet has been shown to give weight loss a boost- apparently if you can get some in the morning, even better!

US researchers working on a study comparing approaches to weight loss, found that keeping a food diary can double weight loss as part of a managed programme; they said that the more food records they kept, the more weight the participants lost. -medicalnewstoday.com
MY COMMENT: A good idea if you can stick with it- very painful for some. That’s why I prefer to ask clients to record simple information such as fruit, vegetables, and grams of fiber.
