Diet program - Study: Phone diet appealing, effective way to lose weight
Thursday, November 3 2005 at 15:22
The phone could be the key to diet success. A study recently conducted at Kansas University found that a phone-based weight-loss program helped dieters shed the pounds.
“It worked for me,” said Ron Palcic, an Olathe resident who dropped 30 pounds on the regimen. “Everybody in my group did well. They all lost weight.”
The program is a twist on the typical counseling and group-support method. Rather than meet at one site and discuss the ups and downs of dieting, the participants chat over the telephone once a week.
