People all over the world have fretted for years about how to shed flab. Scientists have now come up with four simple tricks:
Shed heavy friends
Researchers from Loyola University in Chicago found that students were more likely to gain weight if they had friends who were heavier than they were. However, they were more likely to either slim down, or at least gain weight at a slower pace, if their friends were leaner than they were.
