Can listening to a podcast lead to weight loss?

And the answer is...
"Losing weight may be no more than a few podcasts away, but study findings suggested that not all weight-loss podcasts are created equally.

Such programs should be engaging and offer sound diet and exercise advice based on behavioral theory, cautions study co-author Dr. Gabrielle M. Turner-McGrievy, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

'Otherwise, people will not derive much benefit,' Turner-McGrievy told Reuters Health in an email...

Simply listening to a podcast won't necessarily make you get out of your chair to exercise: More than half of the study participants in both groups listened to downloads while sitting at their computers, rather than while walking or exercising."
No.

Eating fewer Calories than you burn, will, however.
