The Smart-Phone Advantage to Weight Loss

Losing weight is a task so onerous that it has its own multi-billion dollar industry based on it. However what losing weight comes down to essentially, is just one factor and that is your willpower. Now that you know that its only your will power that keeps your motivation up, isn’t it good news to know that your smart phone can actually lend you a helping hand in this ever present battle against the bulge.

The Tulane University recently conducted a study where they were able to prove that mobile phone apps that gave motivational messages, weight loss tips and daily reminders for exercising were able to boost the weight loss performance of their smart phone owners.

While it is a well known fact that to lose weight you need to reduce your calorie intake and exercise to burn present calories in the body, it is also equally well know that the motivation to do this can wane considerably as time passes. Perhaps to sustain the momentum generated by the initial weight loss using the smart phone would be a really smart idea.

While new science projects may confirm the findings later, it is but common sense to understand that as long as you are motivated to lose weight, you will also find the will power to continue on your diet and exercise regime.
