A new study from the New England Journal of Medicine has determined that if you eat fewer calories you’ll lose weight. {Smacking forehead with hand.} Please read the study here. Here’s the conclusion of a two year study:

That means if you likey the low-carb go for it or if you likey the low-cal go for it. But for the love of grilled-cheese-sandwiches eat less. Yep, that’s the research. Eat fewer calories and you can lose, HOLD THE PHONE,  7-percent of your body fat over two years. {Banging head on kitchen island.} After two years, study participants lost an average of 8 pounds. {Reaches for M&Ms}

So the study tells us to eat less. Gotcha. Here’s what I’m going to take away. We’re all on the right diet. But here’s the interesting thing, study participants who stuck with it and lost the weight were the ones who came to the group sessions offered. So while any lower calorie diet may work they work best with support from other dieters in the same boat. {Screams DUH.}

So let’s say it again, all of our diets will work if we support each other. Either get your morning diet laugh and support here OR tweet it up with us on Twitter. We tweet all day about staying on our diets. This is Rebecca here and this is Robin here. That’s right if we all diet together we’ll be smoking hot in two years. {Starts looking through bikini catalogs that will hold delivery until 2011.}
