Over the weekend I had a chance to catch up on the magazines that I read. I should say that I had a chance to pick up my Nook and read. Then I saw all the magazines that I decided to subscribe to, but never read. I mean I had great intentions, but I skip months here and there. It's likely whey I stopped the paper subscriptions long ago...
Anyway, I was reading about running and working out and eating right and dieting.
One of the articles was citing ways that women lose weight and how they're successful. A study from Penn State figured out that dieters who visit websites/blogs with tips from real people who lost weight tend to lose more weight themselves. Very interesting. It reminds me of how your Mom can tell you something all day long, but you don't believe it yourself until it actually happens to you.
An expect can tell me how and has told me how to lose weight. Yet, I wanted to hear it from someone who actually did it. Someone who has been where I was. Someone who understands the struggle. I think that's why I used the internet to find support and help and motivation for weight loss.
Another study found that eating more protein earlier in the day may reduce cravings later on. I'm not sure how that works. I can't say that I've noticed a difference. But I could try only having protein based breakfasts and see what happens. But interesting was that those who didn't eat breakfast were 65% more likely to eat fat based snacks at night. So breakfast is important in getting your day started right and does have lasting impact throughout the day!
