Online dieters who make more 'connections' lose more weight

New Delhi, Jan 30 (ANI): A new study has recently revealed that people who make more connections while using an online weight management program lose around more than 8 percent of their body weight in six months. The study shows that online dieters with high social embeddedness, who logged in regularly, recorded their weigh-ins and "friended" other members can do very well at losing weight with minimal professional help.This study found that self-monitoring was associated with greater weight loss, too, but even greater weight loss was associated with being highly embedded in a network of other people trying to lose weight. For those lacking time or geographic proximity to attend in-person weight loss treatment, an online weight loss program seems to be a good alternative, particularly if people take advantage of the self-monitoring and social networking features.
