26 Feb 2019 --- Food monitoring takes only 15 minutes a day and helps promote weight loss, according to new research, which will be published in the March issue of Obesity. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Vermont and the University of South Carolina, is the first to measure the amount of time that dietary self-monitoring takes for those who successfully lose weight. The study may indicate the growing potential for personalized tracking options such as wearables, apps and other devices. To further boost weight management results, the researchers are encouraging the industry to improve the way nutritional information, such as calories, is explained on the packaging.
