Got 15 Minutes? Try This to Lose Weight
Keeping track of everything you eat and drink during the day can help you lose weight — but despite its effectiveness, people are often reluctant to try it. However, a new study suggests that monitoring your diet may not be as much work as you think.
The study found that, after six months of diet tracking as part of a weight loss program, participants who lost weight spent just under 15 minutes a day, on average, recording their dietary intake.
