(Springfield, OR) – You’ve undoubtedly heard the proverb that “variety is the “spice of life, but apparently not when it comes to losing weight. Researchers say eating the same meals over and over boosts weight loss. Psychologist Charlotte Hagerman, of the Oregon Research Institute, led the study and says reasons include steady caloric intake as well as dietary consistency.
The study, based on daily food logs kept by obese or overweight adults in 12-week weight loss programs in Oregon and Pennsylvania, is published in the journal Health Psychology.
