Can Eating Anything You Want To Help You Lose Weight?
By: Lauren Rubinstein, Leah Rubinstein, and Hayley McCormick
Twins On A Diet
• If you have one twin who gets to eat anything she thinks will help her lose weight, and another who is on a strict diet, who would be better off?
• Twins have identical DNA.• Twins eating patterns, however, vary very
differently when trying to lose weight.
Twin #1
• Twin 1 decides she is going to eat ice cream for breakfast. After she eats, she goes back to bed. Is this helping her with her diet?
• Then, in the afternoon, she decides to watch TV and have cookies. What could she have done instead to help her with her diet?
• What’s wrong with Twin 1’s decisions about what to eat and what to do throughout the day?
Twin #2
• Twin 2 decides to wake up and eat a banana and granola. Then, once she is all fed, she goes outside to run and play around. Is this a good start to her day?
• Later that day, Twin 2 has some pecans. While Twin 1 is watching TV, Twin 2 is doing curl ups on the ground. Is Twin 1 or 2 having a healthier activity in the afternoon?
• Is Twin 2’s routine better then Twin 1’s?
Conclusion…..
• After the experiment, Twin 2 ended up losing more weight. This is because Twin 2 had good meals and snacks. She also was active instead of being lazy by sleeping and watching TV all day like Twin 1.
• We can conclude that you CAN’T lose weight while eating anything you want to. You have to follow a strict diet and get active regularly. Thank you and that concludes our experiment.
