Weve all been there. Laughed when one of our friends stood on a chair at a cafe to artfully take a picture of the food put infront of them.

But what if they were unknowingly offering the key to weight loss success?

Thats what one new study has revealed.

The study from the University of Washington said posting your meals to Instagram may be a key factor in helping you lose weight.

The researchers interviewed 16 women who consistently used the social media platform to document what they ate in a day using the hashtags #fooddiary or #foodjournal.

They found these women received support from fellow Instagram users which helped them make better food choices.

Lead author Christina Chung said taking photos and sharing with people is more fun than writing it down in a book or app which lead to greater results.

With Instagram, it helped me because I was taking a picture of it its real and it does exist and it does count towards what I was eating. And then putting up a visual image of it really helped me stay honest, one study participant said.

The study also found that the participants maintaining their Instagram accounts and encouraging others made it easier to stick to their healthy habits.

Maintenance becomes pretty boring for a lot of people because your quest to hit a goal has worn off, study author Sean Munson said.

This made things more interesting and meaningful for people because after they got to their goal, they turned to thinking about how they could help others and stay accountable to people who were relying on them for support.

If youre not looking to share your food escapades with the entire world, you can even make a private Instagram account so you are able to visually see what you eat in a day.
