The 10 best weight loss apps to help you shed pounds fast
FROM snapping selfies to helping you beat traffic - your phone can do a multitude of things - including helping you lose weight.
There are hundreds of apps that you can have in the palm of your hand, any hour of the day, that can help you track your calories and daily workouts - which is key when it comes to blitzing body fat.
A 2019 study even revealed that people who tracked their food daily using a fitness app lost the most weight compared to those who used the app less diligently.
Researchers found the combination of using a food diary and developing tailored goals were key in helping people lose weight.
Gary Bennett, a psychology professor at Duke University, said: "We have very strong evidence that consistent tracking—particularly of diet, but also one’s weight—is an essential element of successful weight loss.
"Consumers should look for apps that make it easy for them to track on a consistent basis."
The app can also indicate if a food item is Gluten-free or Lactose-free as well as offering healthier alternatives for you.
It analyses your dietary preferences, cooking abilities and favourite food to give you a list of recipes that would fit your taste and lifestyle.
You can also create shopping lists from your favourite recipes, so you'll never forget to buy anything at the supermarket.
