London - Forget personal trainers or gluten-free diets, you can now lose weight with the help of a computer game.
This is according to British scientists who have created a brain training game that they say can help you lose around 0.7kg a week.
The researchers claim that the online game (http://foodtraining.exeter.ac.uk/) can help some people consume 220 fewer calories a day - and now you can see if it works for you.
The free, easy game requires you to repeatedly avoid pressing on pictures of certain images such as biscuits, while responding to other images, such as fruit or clothes.
The idea is that it trains your brain to associate calorie-dense foods with “stopping”.
In an initial study, 41 adults took the test and lost an average of 0.7kg a week, with weight loss continuing for six months.
