Lose weight with the Twitter-diet: 10 tweets make you lose 0.5% fat

Lean like a bird... if the bird is blue!
To follow the last diet, in fact, just type 140 characters.
It's the Twitter-diet: every tweet makes you 0.05% slimmer. These findings are supported by a study published in the journal Behavioral Medicine Translational (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs13142-012-0183-y).

Before venturing into dispersive raids on the most used micro-blogging or wondering why, despite the grueling activity in the tweets world, that well known serial twitter does not seem like an anchovy, one must read through the research of Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina which involved 96 men and women being overweight and obese.

Half of these were "recruited" for a program that included the use of Twitter via smartphone: so no sofas and comfortable chairs.
Participants were asked to deal with the other "colleagues" involved in the study, twitting about their successes, appreciating sacrifices, blaming the sins of gluttony. A sort of self-help group that used the social network as a virtual room where it was possible encouraging each other.

Within six months the "digital" out-of-shape group exchanged approximately 2,600 posts, 76% of them with useful tips to others on how to win unregulated appetite. An exchange of information that seems to work, if combined also with a daily newsletter about nutritional norms and feasible exercise plans.

Between the two groups (slimmed an average of 2.7%) it was the Twitter one that got a better result in weight loss: 0.5% less fat every ten messages posted on Twitter.

So... let's find good friends of the blue bird and of health and FOLLOW them!!!
