Workplace weight-loss program helps dieters

Workplace weight-loss program helps diet novices

Weight-loss programmes that operate from workplaces can be a particularly good way to help people who might otherwise not seek advice on shedding excess pounds, Scottish researchers said on Tuesday.
The workplace is a good arena for tackling overweight and obesity, Leslie said, particularly in the case of men who might otherwise not seek professional help.
"More companies should be encouraged along these lines," she told the meeting. "We got to a population who would otherwise not have sought out weight-loss assistance."

I find that the structured environment of my office allows me to keep an eye on my eating habits much more effectively than I do on the weekend. It also helps to have like minded people all working towards similar goals.
