Does Pilates help you lose weight?

What the experts are saying...We have all heard the saying "Abs are made in the kitchen."  But what if consistent Pilates classes could not only strengthen your abs but also help you make better food choices?  A recent Michigan State University study thinks so.  
"The research analyzed 2,680 young adults in an intensive, 15-week exercise program and found they were less likely to snack or follow a typical Western diet high in fat and carbohydrates, and more likely to choose fruits, vegetables and low-fat alternatives."
I've seen similar results with Starr Pilates regulars.  One Starr Pilates client who had experienced weight gain due to health issues hadn't seen the scale budge until she started twice weekly Pilates classes.  Two months in and she has seen a seven pound weight loss along with feeling stronger and more energized.   Give it a try for yourself and let us know what you think.*
