New Weight-loss Tool
I’ve often said that my iPhone is the “best toy I’ve ever had.” And, now I’m just giddy over a new tool called “Lose It!” It’s a whizzy, cool application for the iPhone. It enables you to keep your daily food log, set your weight-loss goals, track your exercise, etc. It brings all of the things that I loved about Weight Watchers online to the table with a few bonuses: I can take it anywhere, it’s way faster, and it’s FREE!! One gotcha for some folks would be that it’s not going to teach you to eat “healthy.” It’s all about the calories. You can track fat grams and fiber and such, but it’s not going to give you a gold star for any of that. Weight Watchers actively encourages you to take the multi-vitamin, drink the water, and to get the calcium and healthy oils into your diet. For me, that’s not a big deal. I consider myself to be pretty wise on what the good foods are and truly believe they make me feel better. I follow a volumetric approach that works great for me. I think the Lose It! application rocks.
