Being on a diet is never any fun and it definitely isn't the easiest thing any of us has ever done! Thankfully, in this age of ever advancing technology, we have many resources to make the weight loss journey less of a struggle!
There are no gimmicks that really give good, lasting result. No fad diets promising a model slim body in less than a week really works. What does work is consistently eating the rights foods in the right portions and daily (or at least 3 times a week) exercise. Counting calories seems like such a daunting task and the thought of exercising for some people is discouraging enough to make you quick before you ever get started. The best chance for success is to have a solid plan in place before you get started and stick to it. Be realistic and know that it won't happen overnight. Slow, steady and consistent is much better than 'gung-ho' radical calorie reduction and insane amounts of working out! Burn out never got anyone to their goal!
So, how do you devise a plan and motivate yourself to keep it up? Well, there's an app for that! In fact, there are several! You chose the one that works best for you. Here are links to a few below that help you keep track of calories, amount and type of exercise, fat, carbs, protein and even blood pressure and/or blood sugar if you need it.
