Weight Loss Magical Secret Revealed

Basically validating the logic behind the Weight Watchers Core Plan, a study has confirmed that you don't need to count calories to lose weight; just fill up on veggies and fruit.

"Dieters who were told to eat foods that fill you up with water and fiber, such as vegetables and fruits, lost weight without counting calories and without gimmicks, a team at Pennsylvania State University found... And a second study looking at what people normally eat found that those who eat more fruits and vegetables tend to weigh less."

It's true,veggies and fruit are definitely the way to go. It's all about calorie density. But of course that's just one piece of a very complex puzzle. I remember one weight-loss-blog comment along the lines of "when you want a cookie, eat a grapefruit." If you follow that advice, you'll be skinny in no time!

Good advice but watch out for too much fruit. The sugar is natural, but it can add up and impede your weight loss. My dad starting eating 6+ servings a day and gained weight.
