Weight loss apps no better at helping shed pounds than pamphlets

- noir_lord 11y agoI lost 50lbs in just over 3 months by calorie control and exercise, 1500 a day with supplements for vitamins and minerals combined with regular cycling, pushups, situps and dips. Wasn't even that hard, I used google to search for whatever I was eating, even got a few McDonalds in there (easy to count calories since here in the UK they publish them in the restaurants). Went from 111kg to 88kg which is a good weight for me.
- kerrsclyde 11y agoI’ve lost 45lbs in the past 18 months, initially by eating more healthily and latterly by increased exercise. I’m a big user of MyFitnessPal app to record my daily calorie intake, scanning a barcode to record calories is brilliant and just recording what I eat/do each day makes a big difference. What really works for me though is going to weekly slimming meeting to be weighed - which I have to pay for. I hate feeling like I’ve wasted my weekly fee, and I have to pay to stay on the program if I go or not. Just having information these app’s provide isn’t enough in my opinion, you also need self motivation, peer pressure, financial incentive, rewards all in varying amounts for different people.
