Healthy iPhone & iPad Application For Weight Loss: Lose It!
Exercise is only a small portion of weight loss and living healthy. Without proper nutrition, weight loss is impossible no matter how much you workout.
Lose It! is a free iPhone & iPad application that helps you lose weight by monitoring your daily calorie intake. This weight loss application is designed so that you lose weight the right way, slowly, up to two pounds per week. Losing weight any faster is considered unhealthy because a large percentage of the weight loss is muscle loss, not fat loss.
Once you setup your weight loss goals, Lose It! tells you the amount of calories to eat each day. After each meal simply add what you ate into the iPhone & iPad application Lose It! and it will display the remaining calories you can eat each day. Watch the video below on Lose It! to see an overview of its features.

Taking care of your health is more than eating properly and exercising regularly. You also need to be aware of what chemicals you expose to your body.
Next time you workout you should think if you need to rehydrate from drinking out of plastic bottles. A recent study showed that a potentially harmful substance called BPA, which seeps into food and drinks in certain plastic containers like water bottles, is present in 90% of the people tested. Even worse, BPA was found in breast milk and umbilical cord blood. While the effects of BPA on humans are still being studied, it is known to cause harmful effects in other animals.
