Summary
Having a "diet coach" helps people lose weight, says new research. It's far more effective than just reading about diet and nutrition.

Details
Dieters who get feedback via e-mail --- either from a nutritionist or
from an automatic computer program --- about their diets drop more
pounds than those who are left on their own, a Brown Medical School
study shows.
Others sent in their diet and exercise plans and got personalized
e-mail counseling from a nutritionist.
Dieters who start their meals with a large low-calorie salad end up
eating fewer calories at that meal, Penn State researchers found.
But not all salads are created equal: A calorie-dense salad can
actually prompt dieters to eat far more calories than they normally
would.
· Eating the largest portion (three cups) of the lowest-calorie
salad resulted in a 12% reduction in calories (107) for the overall meal
compared with having the pasta with no salad.
