ABSTRACT

The article focuses on a study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, which showed that tracking food intake in a diary as a weight-loss strategy could double weight loss results. The research, coordinated by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, tracked one of the largest and longest-running weight-loss-maintenance trials conducted to date. According to Keith Bachman, a member of the Kaiser Permanente Care Management Institute's Weight Management Initiative, keeping a food diary does not have to be a formal thing.
