What a loser! As in the weight of course. One of the most tried and true weight loss tools is keeping a food log of everything you eat. And in the age of convenience, iPhone users have an indispensable tool that makes it super easy for you to drop those last 5 pounds (or 15, or 20) and get on the fast track to living a healthier life.
In the burgeoning world of iPhone apps, there is one particular weight loss tool that, in a word, rocks. Lose It, is an efficient, expansive, and free (we are in a recession people!) app that tracks all the food you eat, the nutrients you take in, and the calories you burn exercising. There are hundreds and hundreds of foods to choose from and you control the portion size calculated (your hips don’t lie about those 2 brownies you ate last night, you shouldn’t either). You can track your progress from beginning to end in pounds lost and the personalized profile ensures good accuracy. They even have neat little food icons to remind you what broccoli looks like (in case you haven’t eaten it in 12 years).
Seeing your entire day’s worth of food all written out is a major wake-up call about what you’ve been putting in your mouth. Plus it’s free. Did I mention that already?
I promise not to tell people you’re a loser.
