Innovative Ways To Rehabilitate People With Bad Health Habits

Innovative ways to lie about your research from the crooked folk at Northwestern University.

They have no concept whether any of these "innovative ways" will "rehabilitate" anyone:

"As with all participants, Hesemann's recordings in the Palm Pilot and contact with the personal coach gradually tapered off over the four-month period of the study. This latter period is when it gets interesting for Spring. She's waiting to see who falls off the wagon.

"It's really hard to maintain a new healthier lifestyle," Spring said. "At first it's novel and exciting and then the novelty wears off. You tend to revert back to the old habits. There's kind of an inertia that pulls you back."

Spring is anxious to see which two behavior changes best helped people maintain their healthier habits. But she won't know the results until the study ends in 2008. "

Remeber, there are lies, damned lies, statistics and overweight/obesity research.
