Re: studies on which weight-loss advice works best across all who read it?

I'm sure that advice works great for people who follow it, but that's
answering the other question. What I'm asking is: What advice works
best averaged across all people who *hear* it?
Put another way: suppose you're participating in a game against twenty
other contestants. Each of you is assigned to help 1,000 randomly
chosen people who are interested in weight loss. As a contestant, you
write up your advice, and it's distributed to the 1,000 people you're
assigned to -- but that's all you get to do, you have no authority to
*make* them do anything. At the end of X months, the organizers hold a
weigh-in, and the contestant whose advice resulted in the greatest
average weight loss for their 1,000 people, gets a million dollars.
Would you really write: "Consume fewer calories. About 500 less per
day"?

The answer is the same, consume fewer calories. About 500 less per day is
a pound per week on average. Make yourself aware of how much is consumed
and do the math. Choose whatever mind games that work to do the above.
