Weight Yourself Down To Lose Weight

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/8Pkww_NybWU   Wearing a weighted vest for just 3 weeks could help you lose 5 times more weight.  A new study from Sweden’s University of Gothenberg studied weight loss in 69 mildly obese subjects.   The experimental group wore 24 pound vests while the control group wore 2 lb vests over the study period.  The weigh-in at the end clocked a 3.5 pound average weight loss for the heavy vest group versus a .7 pound loss for controls.  The weight lost was in fat and not muscle.   The investigators attribute the effect to a natural “gravitostat.”  Animal experiments suggest it controls appetite.  Of course, moving about with a weighted vest does expend more energy.   https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/eclinm/PIIS2589-5370(20)30082-1.pdf   #obesity #dieting #weightedvest #fat
