Ground breaking results from a 2 year clinical trial
It is so exciting to be able to announce some ground breaking results from a clinical trial unveiled recently by Ki Fit’s strategic partner BodyMedia Inc. Known as the Lifestyle Education for Activity and Nutrition for a Leaner you (LEAN), the trial is evaluating the impact of wearing the armband monitor on weight loss over a 2 year period.
The results are incredible. They show that participants who used the armband either in conjunction with a group weight loss program or as part of their own self led program, lost up to three times more weight than individuals who strived to beat the bulge solo. These are very encouraging and promising outcomes for Ki Fit customers who are trying to manage weight.

Study Background:
The trial followed 197 overweight or obese men and woman aged 18 – 65, who had access to the internet and were not engaged in an exercise program or formal weight loss program from February 2008 to December 2009. The participants were divided into one of the four groups:
1) Individuals following a group weight loss counselling program:
2) Individuals following a group weight loss counselling program combined with an armband;
3) Individuals using the armband alone;
4) Individuals who received only a weight loss manual (served as a control group).
The results:
They speak for themselves really … have a look below (click on image to enlarge):
In a nutshell the results provide fresh proof that the armband has a profound impact on weight loss. People wearing the armband while participating within a group weight loss program lost up to three times as much weight as the participants who did not use the technology during the study. For those people who were not part of the group session but who used the armband monitor, the results were equally as encouraging. These participants lost more than twice as much weight as those without the benefit of the technology. Nifty, yet unbelievably powerful little tool isn’t it?
The take home message:
It is clear from these results that using the Ki Fit armband empowers people in their weight loss journey to make sustainable lifestyle changes and therefore improve their overall health and vitality.
So be motivated…. become empowered… take control of your weight and transform your body shape for LIFE! Success is at your fingertips with Ki Fit!
