Vidcast: https://youtu.be/8Pkww_NybWU Wearing a weighted vest for just 3 weeks could help you lose 5 times more weight. A new study from Sweden’s University of Gothenberg studied weight loss in 69 mildly obese subjects. The experimental group wore 24 pound vests while the control group wore 2 lb vests over the study period. The weigh-in at the end clocked a 3.5 pound average weight loss for the heavy vest group versus a .7 pound loss for controls. The weight lost was in fat and not muscle. The investigators attribute the effect to a natural “gravitostat.” Animal experiments suggest it controls appetite. Of course, moving about with a weighted vest does expend more energy. https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/eclinm/PIIS2589-5370(20)30082-1.pdf #obesity #dieting #weightedvest #fat
