In a one-year controlled weightloss trial carried out by the North American Association For The Study of Obesity, 47 women were randomly assigned to either a well known online weight-loss diet (I won't mention them), or a weight loss manual for weight control. Participants were instructed to follow the components of their program as closely as possible. At the conclusion of the study, researchers found that those who had used the manual had lost significantly more weight than those using the online weight-loss program. At four months, the women using the manual had lost 3.6% of their initial weight, compared to only 1% for those using the online program. At the 1 year mark, this figure again went in favor of the manual users at 4% and 1.1% respectively.
