5 Ways to Use Technology to Improve Your Diet

5 Ways to Use Technology to Improve Your Diet

Find a Remote Health Buddy

Staying committed to a healthy diet and exercise plan is difficult when you go it alone. Technology such as forums and social media make it easy to find a health buddy. You can check in with your partner anytime without leaving home to help each other stay on track.

Swap photos via social media or SMS to share and celebrate your progress and stay motivated. You’ll make each other accountable for following through on diet plans. Your remote buddy can help you reach your goals, and you’ll feel rewarded by supporting someone else too.

Try an Exercise App

Getting bored with exercise may sap your motivation. To stay interested, mix up your routine with different apps. Several apps like Daily Burn and Simply Yoga offer a variety of options to help you stay focused. Apps also make it easy to try different types of workouts. You can test free versions of apps before you invest in a subscription or pay for classes.

Track Your Calorie Intake and Calorie Burn on Your Phone

Generally, you can lose weight when you take in fewer calories than your body burns each day. With this guideline in mind, it’s important to track calories in compared to calories out. Not all calories are created equal though. A recent Stanford University study noted that the quality of the calories you eat matters too. For example, 100 calories of sugar can turn to fat faster than a meal of protein that’s 100 calories.

Apps make counting the number and quality of your calories a cinch. Use an app such as Lifesum to track your calories burned versus your calorie intake each day.  Choose a food, and the app will tell you the number of calories you just ate. You’ll also see a snapshot of what percentage of the calories came from carbs, fat, and protein to review the quality of the calories you’re eating quickly.

Find Low-Calorie Recipes Online

Chicken and salad again? Eating healthy doesn’t have to meet eating the same old thing every night. You can find a variety of low-calorie recipes online or choose a recipe app. Search by food preference such as low-calorie, vegan, or gluten-free. Try new recipes to maintain your healthy diet and reach your fitness goal.

De-Stress With Meditation Apps

Stress can sabotage your weight loss. Take time to relax and de-stress to support your weight loss goals. Download a meditation app or just listen to soft music on your smartphone. Set a recurring reminder on your phone to make your “me time” a priority each day.

Put technology to work for your health. Use your smartphone, websites, and social media to make a weight loss plan, track your progress, and reach your goals.
