Strapping on a FitBit and tracking your steps may not actually be doing all that much to help you lose weight, a new study found.
As the Daily Mail reported, researchers at the University of Florida found that wearable fitness devices like FitBit and Apple Watch may help a person’s well-being, but does not lead to any meaningful drop in cholesterol or blood pressure, and only one of six studies analyzed showed any weight loss at all.
The report from the Daily Mail noted that these studies find “little evidence that your wearable is much more than a fancy bracelet.” The findings were a surprise even to researchers, who thought they would find that the motivation to get moving and get more exercise would have shown some kind of weight loss.
