After a first of its child study, published in the journal of the Academy of scientistsreported weighed nutrition and dietetics from obesity prevention program Duke University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, that every day lost aboutthree times those so much weight and body fat than the were less diligent aboutincreasingly on the scale.
The six-month study included 47 overweight men and women randomly assignedwere included that use the "intervention" of electronic weighing scales, which wereconnected to the computer network researchers. All the 47 questions were instructedto weigh every day and received some basic tips on behaviour of healthy food and exercise, in order to promote steady weight loss (i.e. increase the consumption ofwater, more, eat less, enjoy more fruits/vegetables). With objective data from thesubject and scale, researchers weigh the frequency-drawn lens weights as well as the subjects.
Results? Accordance with the frequent weigh-in was very high, with 75 percent of the subjects the week weighed in at least six days. An average of 20 pounds loss in onesdaily (51% of all disciplines), compared to an average of 7 pounds he weighed an average of five days per week loss among those who weighed themselves. Subjects were weighed more on recommended diet and lifestyle behaviors daily reportfollowed through.
According to one of the study authors, Dr. Deborah Tate, Director of the research program of the weight at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, "weigh every day help self-regulation and eating behaviors and activities of direct connection withthe weight." You see very small daily variations quickly weighing 0.1 or 0.2 lb, whichwill tell you if your current eating and activities are enough to help you lose weight, or if you need to do more. " This study adds to previous studies, which also reported that those who are most often weigh lose more weight and are less likely to gain weightover time.
However, not many dietitians recommend frequent weigh-in be discouraged for fearthat their customers if the number increases or obsessed with the scale. But according to Tate: "we carried out two other studies-contain both overweight and obese adultswithout eating disorders-and both studies showed that beginning weigh every daywas not harmful form of depressive symptoms or disorders."
Other Dietitians are against traditional scales from their account for body compositioncannot. "I would not recommend using a scale at all," says registered dietitianStéphanie Mull weight management from George Washington University and humanperformance laboratory in Ashburn, Virginia. "We have many customers, to see thesmall variations in weight, but have significant reductions in body fat."
