In 2012, one
study found that women who had CBT alone
over the
course of six months, without being encouraged to exercise or eat less, lost on average about 5
pounds.
Each 11 -
pound decrease in grip strength
over the
course of the
study was linked to a 16 % higher risk
of dying from any cause, a 17 % higher risk
of dying from heart disease, a 9 % higher risk
of stroke, and a 7 % higher risk
of heart attack.
