Swedish Weight Loss Secret

3 Sep || by Craig Ballantyne

There is a new weight loss secret to report, and this time it is from our Swedish friends. But no, it’s not, “Stop eating Swedish meatballs”. Instead, the Swedes have discovered Online Weight Loss Programs.

Researchers at the world famous Karolinska Institute wanted to find out why some men and women succeed at weight loss while others don’t. They looked at an internet-based weight loss club used mostly by women (86% of users were female).

Scand J Public Health. 2008 Aug 6. [Epub ahead of print]Related Articles An internet-based weight loss programme – a feasibility study with preliminary results from 4209 completers.

The researchers studied the users over time, and found that 29% of users lost at least 5% bodyweight.

The researchers also found something that I’ve been telling you about for a long time. They found that the strongest predictors of weight loss were activity in the weight club as judged by number of logins and diary entries, and sex.

That means that going online for social support in your weight loss program is one of the most effective things you can do. You might not have the perfect home life, office environment, or workout buddies, but chances are you will find someone to help you on an Internet weight loss forum.

The researchers concluded that given its low cost and high accessibility at 24 hours a day, online weight loss clubs are an interesting and effective way to help men and women lose weight.

  1. Hello Craig, I believe you and the Swedish are correct on this assumption. I am a member of Mr Brink’s fat loss revealed private forum and also my weight watchers forum and both are very helpful in keeping me motivated during troubling times. I am also now looking at your TT members support system which I see in your biography is it very expensive?
