Use It and Lose It! What a Great Ap!

        There is really only one way to lose weight.  Ignore the “fad” diets.  In the long run they don’t work.  So how do you do it?  Simple.  Eat less calories each day than needed to sustain your current weight and you WILL lose weight.

        The best “AP” on the Iphone for this purpose is called “Lose It!”  You can also check out their website at www.loseit.com.   What the application does is keep track of all the calories you eat each day.  You input how much you weigh, followed by how much you want to lose, and then how fast you want to lose the weight.  Lose It! calculates how many calories you may consume each day to achieve that result.

     The best thing about Lose It! is that it also tracks your exercise.  Whenever you input your exercise you earn more calories that you can eat each day.  If used regularly the application really encourages you to both eat right and exercise.  It is true that Lose It! calories are the same whether you eat a Krispy Kreme or an avocado, but using the application will encourage you to choose the avocado because in the end it contains much fewer calories than does a donut.

     Using Lose It! two people in my office have both lost over 15 pounds in 3-4 months.  I have lost about five pounds and have been using it for about one month.

     Let me know if you would like some tips and suggestions on the best way to use Lose It!  I love it.

     Good luck!
