Trying to lose some weight? A new study has found that weighing yourself daily helps to boost the immune system, strengthens the muscles, improves blood circulation in the body, and may also help you lose weight. Weigh yourself every morning after you’ve been to the loo and before you consume anything, including water. If your bowels won’t move until you’ve had a hot drink, drink it, but remember that 300 ml of water is 300 grams on the scale, so you have to keep a control on that variable. Honestly, it's just easier to not consume anything until you’ve logged your weight.



Body weight is a key concern in contemporary society, with large proportions of the population attempting to control their weight. However, losing weight and maintaining weight loss is notoriously difficult, and new strategies for weight loss attract significant interest. "Regularly weighing yourself can motivate you to engage in healthy eating and exercise behaviours, because it provides you with evidence that these behaviours are effective in helping you lose weight or prevent weight gain,” said a researcher.



“Monitoring body weight may increase one’s awareness of how changing behaviours can affect weight loss,” said another researcher. Well, this goes to prove that you should keep a tab on your weight on a daily basis. Stay tuned for more updates.
