Eating the same meals every day could help you lose weight<\/a> faster, according to new research.<\/p>\n

The study found that adults who followed a consistent diet – repeating meals and keeping their daily calories steady – lost more weight over 12 weeks than those who ate a more varied diet.<\/p>\n

Researchers tracked 112 overweight or obese adults enrolled in a behavioural weight loss program.<\/p>\n

Participants logged everything they ate using a mobile app and weighed themselves daily on a wireless scale.<\/p>\n

The team measured how ‘routinised’ each diet was by tracking how much a person’s daily calorie intake fluctuated between weekdays and weekends and examining dietary repetition – how often participants ate the same meals and snacks instead of constantly choosing new foods.<\/p>\n

Those who repeated many of the same foods lost an average of 5.9 per cent of their body weight, compared with 4.3 per cent for participants with more varied diets.<\/p>\n

Greater day-to-day calorie consistency also helped – for every 100-calorie increase in daily fluctuation, weight loss dropped by about 0.6 per cent.<\/p>\n

Participants who logged higher calories on weekends than on weekdays also lost more weight.<\/p>\n
