But the group who used a fitness tracker had lost less weight than those who didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Those who wore a tracker lost 3.5kg on average, while the group monitoring their progress online lost an average of 5.9kg.<\/p>\n<p>Through these observations, the team recognised that fitness trackers that monitor and record physical activity do not boost or provide an advantage over standard weight loss approaches that include behavioural counselling on weight loss programme.<\/p>\n<p>One possible reason, said lead researcher Dr John Jakicic, is that the fitness tracker group may have been more likely to feel they owed themselves &#8220;treats&#8221; upon seeing their progress, leading them to lose less weight than the other group.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18539\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18539\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Bella-Twins-Workout-Routine.jpg\" alt=\"Image: wzronline.com\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Bella-Twins-Workout-Routine.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Bella-Twins-Workout-Routine-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Bella-Twins-Workout-Routine-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Bella-Twins-Workout-Routine-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Bella-Twins-Workout-Routine-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: wzronline.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To sum it up, the lead researcher had this to say about the findings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The findings of our study are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America\u2019s obesity epidemic.
