Read emails and lose weight
While I am not recommending that you actually just read emails to lose weight, but here is the point. A steady diet of e-mails can change people's outlook and behaviour regarding healthier eating and increased physical activity, according to a new study of about 2,500 Canadian workers. In an article published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, the 12-week study looked at the effectiveness of e-mails received at the workplace in promoting healthy exercise and eating regimes.
In other words, if you are somehow fed with positive messages about weight loss, dieting, and healthy eating, you are more likely to respond to these by actually doing the things that help you lose weight - that is, proper diet, fewer calories, and regular exercises.
The study "must be viewed with caution since the changes reported are based on self-report and the effect sizes are generally small," said Dr. Jennifer B. McClure, a scientific investigator with the Group Health Cooperative in Seattle. Nevertheless, she said, "The findings are encouraging and they add to other recent data which suggest that using e-mail to deliver well-designed communications could be an effective way to encourage and promote health behaviours."

How to get positive messages about a great body?
- Visit websites to articles on health and fitness. Some websites also have newsletters that you can subscribe to. Subscribe to magazines and buy books that appeal to you.
- Find friends that are also interested in a healthy lifestyle or are trying to lose weight and form a group. Then ask each one to help others by sending positive emails or text messages about cooking, dieting, and exercising.
- Ask a healthy friend or family member to be your Great Body Mentor. This person can be there to motivate you to work on your goals for dieting and exercising.
