You’ve heard the saying: “If it sounds too good to be true, it is.” Betcha you’ve also heard: “There’s a sucker born every minute." These two adages go hand-in-hand, especially when it comes to weight loss.
That’s because weight loss is complicated, and although based on simple arithmetic…eat fewer calories than you burn daily and lose weight…most people have trouble. You don’t have to go “on” a “diet” to lose weight.
This simple metabolic equation can be accomplished by just changing what you eat, substituting high-calorie items such as breakfast pastries or fatty muffins for high fiber, low-sugar cereal, fruit and skim milk. And burn a hundred extra calories by walking for 45 minutes daily, and create a deficit without being hungry, and lose weight.
But people want it fast, they want it effortless, so they fall for the weight-loss claims associated with pills and potions.
That said, there are some very cool new tools and products that DO make weight loss easier. Easier because these products support and enhance the legitimate weight-loss process. They help you understand exactly what YOU need to do to lose weight by personalizing the process. These cool tools help you estimate how much you need to eat, they help you journal your progress, and they even help you create your own paper trail so you can see where you’ve been, and have a clear path toward your goals.

2. Virtual Trainer: Say you’re ready to start working out, shaping up, but don’t want to join a gym (it’s too expensive; you don’t have time to travel to and from, etc). Join an eDiets Fitness program for a customized exercise program. Your eDiets Virtual Trainer actually shows you how to do the exercise correctly! Those who have exercise equipment can also see how to use the equipment correctly, and all exercises are accompanied by written instructions that reinforce the proper technique. Get started now.
3. Mobile Support System: eDiets Mobile -- Let your PDA keep you in touch with your goals. eDiets Mobile is special weight-loss software for your PDA that puts a variety of diet and exercise tools in your hands. It's the perfect portable weight-loss companion that puts success within your reach! Track your diet and the calories you burn. Pull it out when you’re shopping or at a restaurant, and get the nutrition skinny on 10,000 food items.
4. Exercise Companions: Raphael Calzadilla, eDiets’ chief fitness expert, tells us iPods are cool, useful companions that make exercise fun. He says that the latest generation iPod lets you download exercise videos. “With a combination of music and exercise instruction, it offers possibilities for increased motivation.”
Another fitness companion Raphael recommends are MP3 audio workouts. Companies such as iTrain and GYMp3 offer both calisthenics and cardio-only workouts, especially good for the busy traveler. Guided yoga and Pilates routines make exercising less boring and makes the time go by faster.
5. Pedometer: Sometimes the simplest tools are the most effective. A pedometer is a handy clip-on genius piece of engineering that helps motivate you by tracking how many steps you take. A goal of 10,000 steps a day is a good start, but start gradually and increase weekly by 2,000 until you hit 10,000. To gage an exercise session, Raphael says that 2,000 steps is about a mile, but reminds you to secure on your hip for accurate step counting. Go for the basic step counter, or opt for other cool features including rate, distance, steps per minute…you can even listen to music.
6. Measuring Tools: Tara Gidus is a registered dietitian, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and president of her own nutrition consulting firm in Orlando, Florida. Like pedometers, Tara reminds us, simple tools work well to “show” people what they need to eat to lose weight and maintain weight loss. Weighing and measuring your daily food portions, especially at the beginning of a weight-loss plan, teaches you about portion size and helps you modify when away from home.
7. Visual Tool: Tara also recommends Dr. Howard Shapiro’s Picture Perfect Weight Loss as an excellent visual of calorie comparisons. This book uses full-page color pictures comparing foods, serving size by serving size. See how foods you might think as “healthy,” such as muffins, contain as many calories as 4 cups of cereal! Learn how to incorporate favorite foods into your plan.
