Counting bites leads to weight loss
BYU health science researchers uncovered that individuals who count their bites they take while eating experience greater weight loss compared to those who don’t. In fact, their study revealed that those who count their bites lose an average of four pounds each month.
During the study individuals were asked to count their bites for a few days and then were told to reduce their bites by 20 to 30 percent over the course of four weeks. Even though participants did not change their eating or exercise habits, they still managed to experience weight loss.
Lead author, Josh West, said, “This study confirms what we already knew: consuming less food makes a difference. We’re not advocating people starve themselves, what we’re talking about is people eating less than they’re currently eating.”
Researchers explained that those who are overweight should be concerned with quantitative aspects of food and less on qualitative aspects.
