Here comes the New Year and with it, New Year’s Resolutions. At the top of the lists this year – like every other year – is losing weight and getting fit. To help you keep those goals in 2013, I have some apps that can get you started in the right direction.
The reason you want an app like the Calorie cCounter from My Fitness Pal for your health goals is that research tells us that dieters who keep a food diary tend to lose twice as much weight as dieters who don’t. This just may be the gold standard of food journals. Totally free, it works with the iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and Windows 7 smartphones. It tracks nutrition information and allows you do custom reports on every bite you eat. Set your goals and use this app to stick to them.
I also really like MyNetDary. Besides the iPhone and iPad, it works with Android and BlackBerry phones. When entering food, it utilizes something called intelligent searching. That means after a couple of characters, it offers suggestions. It “remembers” your favorites and quickly recalls them with just a few keystrokes as you start to type them. The massive food database is regularly updated and added to.
One more. Spark People, a very popular online community of people trying to lose weight who organize around interests and geographic locations and share motivation, encouragement and inspiration as they follow the service’s first rate diet and exercise suggestions. The app is free. The company proudly boasts that its app offers the most detailed weight and calorie reports available anywhere.
The bad news is 90% of New Year’s resolutions are unkept. The good news is, if you use these apps, you have a good chance of being in the one in 10 who succeed.
