Smartphones, tablets, laptops and other gadgets are all devices we use on a regular basis. You likely even have one of these devices on you at all times. Is it possible that the same device you use to talk to friends, keep track of meetings, play games and check the scores to your favorite sports team could help you in fight of the battle of the bulge? If you have a Twitter application and a Twitter account, you may just be able to help yourself shed some unwanted pounds.
According to research conducted by the University of Arizona, women who reveal health, fitness and nutrition victories on a weekly basis are more likely to shape-up faster than those who keep their victories to themselves. Research also indicates that one in three Americans are currently using social media sites to aim in the weight loss process. With many of these sites being free, the University of Arizona indicates that going viral with your weight loss goals can help you achieve your goals without breaking the bank. The University of Arizona encourages these types of programs to help men and women stay on track with their fitness goals.
If you love Twitter, you may enjoy the Tweet What You Eat means of losing weight (@twye). Tweet What You Eat is an online food journal that lets other users look at what you are eating. Users report they are more careful when it comes to eating healthy when using the Tweet What You Eat program. After all, no one wants to the world to see what you’ve eaten a piece of chocolate cake with a side of ice cream for lunch.
While Tweet What You Eat does not provide you with the tools and know how to lose weight, Tweet What You Eat can help you go public with your goals. Sharing what you eat can help you to make more conscientious decisions when it comes to your diet.
Personally, I am a big fan of the Brita Filter!
