According to recent data found in a study, throwing out your scale may be the best thing you can do for your health. The study has found that people are so preoccupied with the number of pounds they loose that they could be neglecting very needed nutrients in the food they’re not eating.

Key Takeaways:

• Long-term studies show after five years, less than 10 percent of dieters manage to keep the weight off, 50 percent are back where they started and 40 percent are even heavier.
• Rather than worrying about the scale, Health at Every Size calls for mindful eating of a variety of healthy foods, enjoyable physical activity and an end to body shaming.
• Health at Every Size isn’t a blank check to gorge on fast food and never leave your sofa.
