MyFitnessPal – An app made specifically for keeping track of how many calories you take in and how many calories you lose with any kind of physical activity. When you first sign up, you put in your weight/height/goal weight ect and it calculates for you how many calories you should be taking in a day to maintain your current weight or to lose weight, depending on what you’re looking to do. You have no need to type in how many calories are in each of your meals, that’s the wonderful thing about this app. It has over 200,000,000 food entries in it so whatever you eat is bound to be in there! Each food also lists all the major nutrients; fat, protein, carbs, fiber, cholesterol and everything in-between. The app runs on iphones, androids, and blackberry’s and it’s completely free. You can also access your account via web!
Losing weight can’t be done effectively just by what you eat alone, although eating is a very big part of it. Some sort of exercise that you don’t usually do needs to be done to lose weight and keep the weight off. But there’s always these little problems – You have no time to go to the gym. No idea where to start? Can’t walk to the local park?
The Nike Training Club (NTC) - The Nike Training app is an app with 85+ workouts put together by professional trainers and athletes. With this app you can choose from 4 different categories: Get Lean, Get Toned, Get Strong and Get Focused. Within each of these categories there’s 3 more categories: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Within those three there’s multiple workouts you can choose from that vary from 30 minutes – 45 minutes each. It also lets you play music from your music library while you’re working out to keep you company. There’s also a timer, which let’s you know how much more time in the workout you have to do and an audio trainer who keeps you motivated the whole time. Every part of the workout has an instructional video showing you how to do the exercises properly. The workout can also be paused and resumed at any time! The best thing about this app is you need very little/no equipment at all and you can do it right at home! In your living room, bedroom, on the porch. Just 30 minutes and your exercise for the day is done. This app is completely free.
I personally use both these apps, every single day and I’ve lost 3kg (almost 7lbs) in around 3 weeks. According to doctors, the healthy way to lose weight and for the weight to stay off is to lose 1lb – 2lb (2lb at the most) every week. Good luck!
