Yumi Media Releases a Comment on the Positive Effect of Going Meatless

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2013

On April 26, 2013, Yumi Media responded to a recent article posted on VegNews that discussed the weight loss benefits of switching the meat in your diet with white button mushrooms or perhaps a meat substitute from companies like Quorn.

A recent study conducted by the Weight Management Center at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health revealed that substituting meat with white button mushrooms in your eating habits could increase weight loss, with considerable results.

According to the article, the study surveyed a group of obese participants who averaged 48.4 years in age. The participants were divided into groups of two, with one group continuing their diet with meat, and the other given a cup of mushrooms in the place of meat. Those who ate the mushroom were noted to have lost an average of seven pounds and decreased the circumference of their waistline by 2.6 inches.

The findings coincided with previous research that revealed the weight-loss benefits of replacing high-energy-density foods such as ground beef with plant-based foods, or a meat substitute from Quorn or a similar brand.

Yumi Media noted the surprising results and added, Eating meat appears to be a very big gamble. Your body processes the fatty tissue and stores it as fat. Cutting meat out from your diet just seems to be the better option. Replace it with mushrooms, like the study says, or find a very good meat substitute.

The National Council for Hypnotherapy Responds to New Study Detailing the Effect of Pre-packaged Diet Foods

(PRWEB UK) 23 May 2013

According to Reuters UK, in a head to head comparison with those who ate a traditional diet, people who ate a diet of portion controlled pre packaged foods lost almost twice as much weight as those who only used advice on how to reduce calories. The study concluded that the more freedom a dieter has with their portion size and the food they eat the less of a chance they have of losing weight. Those who ate focused and bespoke diet meals have more of a chance of losing weight.

A leading nutrition expert added, When theres less structure, then participants are making more decisions, and I think too often theyre making decisions that undermine their goal to stick to a calorie target.

Results showed that those who stuck to the prepared meals lost on average 16.5 pounds and the regular dieters who prepared their own food lost 8.4 pounds on average.

Whilst some who are overweight are doing their best to lose weight through traditional methods such as dieting and changing what they eat, others are trying complementary methods such as hypnotherapy.

The National Council for Hypnotherapy is an online hypnotherapist directory giving consumers access to local hypnotherapist in their area throughout the UK. The councils members are professional and qualified and have helped hundreds of thousands of people with varying issues including habits, phobias, anxiety and weight loss as a representative explained, Losing weight can be a long, hard process and whilst methods used in the study mentioned can be helpful for some, using a fresh, unique approach and changing eating habits from within the brain can be more effective for some.
