Some highlights from new research published by the Harvard School of Public Health, which studied 120,000 people over a 20-year period:
- Eating more nuts and yoghurt daily had more effect on weight loss than eating fruits and veggies daily.
- Worst foods to eat that are linked to weight gain? Chips add an extra 1.69 lbs per four years for every serving a day over the average, yikes. Sugary drinks and meat also pack on the weight over time.
- Sleeping between six to eight hours minimizes weight gain.
- Cutting down on TV time also key on staying trim.
I can handle including more yogurt and nuts in my diet. As for cutting down on chip consumption, getting more sleep and watching less TV, that’ll be way tougher…

In new findings published in Obesity, people who hit the sack late tend to:
- consume 248 more calories a day
- eat fewer fruits and veggies and more fast food
- drink more soft drinks
- all of which can lead to gaining an extra two lbs per month
(Being a late sleeper in this study meant your midpoint of sleep came after 5:30AM btw).
Yikes. Guess who’s going to bed earlier starting tonight!

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who are the healthiest eaters of us all?
Turns out childless couples are the healthiest eaters, consuming 4.4 lbs of fruits and veggies more per person per two-week period, according to a new study published in European Review of Agricultural Economics.
(And that reusable shopping bag above? In my effort to eat more veggies myself, I’m thinking I need to get me one of those–it’s like a readymade shopping list!).
