In a powerful, first-of-its-kind evaluation, Harvard researchers recently uncovered some valuable new insights concerning weight control. For this study, the researchers carefully monitored the diets and weights of 120,784 adult men and women over a 16 to 24 year period of time. They were specifically looking for relationships between eating more of various foods and weight gain or weight loss over time. The upshot of this illuminating study was that some foods were clearly tied to putting on the pounds, while other foods were linked to shedding them. Because weight control is arguably the single most powerful tool each of us has to control our future health destiny, the findings of this study are particularly noteworthy. Click here to see the interesting details.
