GETTY

When you are trying to lose weight, there are many different tips and tricks people offer to make the process easier.

However, a new study has revealed a tip that requires no effort at all: Stepping on the scale every day.

Researchers from Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania studied 294 women of various sizes and asked them how often they tracked their weight.

Positive weight gain snaps spread across social media with the hash tags #screwthescale and #gainingweightiscool. After using the MyProtein diet and healthy exercise.

The womens body fat percentages were taken after six months and again after two years.

The researchers used this to determine the womens BMIs and found that women who stepped on the scale more frequently had a dip in their BMI compared to those who didnt.

Study co-author Diane Rosenbaum, Ph.D and psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania said: The losses in BMI and body fat percentage were modest, but still significant, especially keeping in mind that these women were not part of a weight loss program.

We did not expect that, in the absence of a weight loss intervention, folks would be losing weight.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets are all the rage right now and for good reason. Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. Hair and nails are mostly made of protein and your body uses protein to build and repair tissues.

Women with higher BMIs and body fat percentages surprisingly weighed themselves more at the beginning of the study compared to women with lower BMIs.

The scientists said that constantly being reminded of your weight could help to keep diet and fitness goals in check.

Study co-author Meghan Butryn, Ph.D and associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at Drexel said: Regularly weighing yourself can motivate you to engage in healthy eating and exercise behaviours, because it provides you with evidence that these behaviours are effective in helping you lose weight or prevent weight gain.

Similarly, if you see weight gain on the scale, that information can motivate you to make a change.

Meanwhile, another recent study has revealed that drinking coffee could lead to weight gain.

This is because thecaffeine attaches to adenosine receptors in the body which keeps you awake.

However, the caffeine also decreases your ability to taste sweet things making you crave more sugar than before. This could make you more likely to seek out sweet foods which could mean you pack on the pounds.
