A new way to lose weight - HealthNews18.com

Dieting and exercise are the two sure shot ways to lose weight. But many obese people find it difficult to lose weight either by dieting or exercise. This is the main reason why we see so many other ways of losing weight being advertised everywhere. Most of these methods don't suit every person because of the risks, complications or the amount of money involved.

If you are on a weight loss mission, and if you are looking for some easy ways to lose weight, this is one for you! Now a new weight loss study says you can lose weight by taking lighter lunches.

The scientists at Cornell University, New York found out another simple way to cut down the intake of calories. The best part of it is, you cut down significant amount of the calories without feeling it.

Professor David Levitsky from the Cornell University, New York has conducted a research on 17 participants and studied the calorie intake of them under various preset conditions.

This is a five week study, and the participants were divided into two groups, and were asked to eat whatever they wanted to eat in the first week. For the next two weeks, the first group was asked to have the portion controlled foods such as Campbell's Soup as their lunch, while the other group allowed continuing to eat anything they want. In the last two weeks, the second group also followed the portion controlled diet as the first group did.

After analyzing the results, the scientists have confirmed that people who had portion controlled foods have lost 1.1 pounds on average. They also said they could lose at least 25 pounds a year if they continue eating portion controlled lunches.

This study says weight is not all about controlling the appetite or suppressing the food intake, but about taking in fewer calories through a controlled diet.
