Spending less time sitting in front of the TV can help Brits to lose weight a new study has shown.

New research has revealed that people whose viewing time was halved burned 244 more calories than they consumed each day. Another group whose TV time was not limited took in 57 calories more than they burned off.

Couch potatoes keen to shift the stones may want to consider having a consultation with The Hospital Group. As the UK’s leading weight loss surgery provider, The Hospital Group can offer a gastric band, gastric bypass or gastric balloon to those having trouble shifting stubborn excess weight.  The dramatic results can not only make you feel fantastic, but will also help you to lead a healthy lifestyle.  

David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group said: “At this time of year lots of people will be slumped in front of the TV, enjoying the festive period.  But as this study shows, getting away from the coach and being active goes a great way towards leading a healthy lifestyle.  

“For many people being healthy and losing weight is lifelong battle, but opting for obesity surgery with The Hospital Group can finally free you from that struggle.  Obesity Surgery procedures can help people who have found losing weight difficult- as well as providing lasting results.   Our consultants ensure that, as well as having an absolute need for a gastric procedure, the patient understands that weight loss surgery isn’t a miracle cure and they would need to work with the band to achieve the healthier lifestyle they desire.”
