Network to fight obesity

Social networking sites (SNS) could help you lose weight.

Researchers collected data from multiple global studies and discovered that those who used social networking services for weight loss achieved a decrease in BMI (0.64) which is considered to be modest but significant. About 2000 particpants were involved in using the SNS.

Experts believe that the achievement is mainly because using SNS over other approaches is cost-effective and practical for daily use, in addition to, getting an opportunity to interact with fellow-dieters and advice from experts without actually having to travel.
