This from the actual study:Of course, it is possible that the room attendants actually did
change their behavior—actually did cut back on calories, improve
the quality of the food they ate, or work harder or more
energetically—but did not report such changes.
While I do believe in placebo effect, I would question still how accurate the actual following of dietary, activity, perceived exertion, etc. if it was done solely on a questionaire. That's not to say that I don't believe that the mind isn't a direct factor on achieving results, but another study with more stringent procedure of verification should follow up this one to confirm it.

Ditto.
And I'm not simply trying to be skeptical for its own sake, but there is a gaping hole in the observations and we would be remiss not to scrutinize it.
A follow up may actually validate these findings or may reveal that if you tell a person that they are on the right track that they may put in a little extra effort to make things happen.0 -
I need someone to tell me there's a study proving you burn enormous amounts of body fat in your sleep.
For the record...that's actually when a significant amount of the bodyfat you burn...is burned lol.0 -

It's a good reminder to not just go through the motions. Do it mindfully, put everything you got into it! Be positive and believe you are making a difference in your physical and mental well-being! There is certainly nothing wrong with that!!0

I do believe in the power of the mind (mental health) when it comes to exercise. However, I think when you are given the motivation, you work harder at it.
I am very skeptical about the diet remaining the same in control group #1.
Example:
Often, at night while in bed with my husband, we get up to get a "snack". He will get a cup of ice cream and i will get a cup of GRAPES cause I just worked out. He will offer me a spoonful of Chunky Monkey and I decline.
How in the heck did they monitor that scenario?0 -
