This particular study wasn’t about cancer but it was about obesity. Which is linked to cancer, I think I’ve read. There are definitely links you can click on about that link. So what the study found is that if you get people to weigh themselves twice a week over Christmas, and give them a chart showing how much exercise it would take to work off each Christmas treat (for example, 21 minutes of running per mince pie), they will put on less weight than the control group, who displayed much less control. They just got given a leaflet on healthy living, which they may or may not have elected to eat. The self-weighers actually lost 0.13kg each over the festive period, whereas the “no self-”control group put on 0.37kg.
If you measure your weight and think about your weight a lot, you’re likely to weigh less than if you don’t. Smashing.
