Wellcome letter


Hi to all of our followers! First of all I have to thank all of you for letting me take care of your health and lifestyle. Hopefully you have found some answers to your problems and are well on your way to a healthier you or hopefully you are already on a maintenance plan facing your relationship with food and the scale in a new amicable way. As I probably commented before, I am starting a new way of anonymous communication with all of you. There is a lot of information to be shared as well as a lot of experience and tips that can benefit most of us. As all of you know, I insist and always recommend to be part of a support group, one of the keys to success and one of the main pillars of Lifestyle Intervention for Weight Loss. You also know that I can not share individual information. This blog will be a way of having that. I invite you all to participate and post your experience without sharing any of your personal information. My second intention is to share as much medical/nutritional information as I can. The more educated you become the easier it will be to understand what you are going through.

Apps you can use

In the era of the App University, there's some you can actually use to improve your eating behavior... if you use them. So if you have a smart phone and are used to play with these little sources of info, here's a coupple of them one of you showed me, that I think can really make a difference in how you choose what you eat. Many of you are most of the time out there trying to eat decently but find yourself navigating a fast food menu... difficult task if there's one. And then, the ultimate challenge, pick what you will eat in the 10 secs the drive through allows you for this task. So here it is, just know what you will get before you get there, how? use one of these apps. You will be more likely to choose something you can eat out there:)
Some of them are:
Fast Food Calories
Jacques Pepin's Fast Food My Way
Fast Food Restaurant Nutrition Quick Reference
Calorie Calc-Fast & Simple Calorie Counter
Why you are fat
Amazing Pizza Calc 
etc
One more thing, there's also some good apps for self reporting (keep track of what you eat) and count calories. Try My net diary.
Let me know what you think
