How did this woman lose weight? She got a dog!
Posted on May 5th 2007 9:48AM by Martha EdwardsA lot of overweight people have dogs and haven't lost a pound, so just what makes this relationship one that lead to weight-loss. Well, for starters, daily walks gave Patti some much-needed exercise. Because the dog was interested in everything she ate, Patti started making healthier choices. And lugging around dog food hasn't hurt either. But the real change was an internal one -- having a dog caused her to slow down, take it easy and spend more time looking after herself.
There's no denying that having a dog is great for you emotionally and physically, but is it really a legitimate weight-loss tool? What do you think?
