Tomorrow is the only blue moon this year and what a great time to begin those healthy lifestyle changes you may already know.
This month, a follow-up report from the WOMAN (Women on the Move through Activity and Nutrition) study, was published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Dr. B B Gibbs and her colleagues followed 481 overweight and obese postmenopausal women divided into groups and reported in the 48 month. They found that the lifestyle-change group, coached in healthier eating behavior, lost weight. They found four eating habits that were associated long-term with weight loss:
- increasing fruits and vegetables
- decreasing desserts
- decreasing sugar-sweetened beverages
- decreasing meats and cheeses
A summary can be found at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_128703.html.
Those who changed their eating patterns as listed above noted a sustainable weight loss.
