Same-Meal Strategy May Boost Early Weight Loss in Weight-Management Program
A Drexel University study of 112 overweight/obese adults in a behavioral weight-loss program found that those who ate the same meals daily and kept a consistent daily calorie intake lost more weight in the first 12 weeks (average 5.9% of body weight) than participants with a more varied diet (4.3%). The research used real-time food tracking and suggests routine eating can aid adherence, but it’s a small study that cannot prove causation and did not assess nutritional quality; more research is needed, and doctors should be consulted before changing diets.
