36 Can technology help you to lose weight?

These days it is definitely true that there is a huge number of weight-loss gadgets in the market. However, the proliferation of these gadgets doesn't necessarily mean they're effective. The question is whether technology will help us shed those unwanted kilos. I’ve read an article about this, which said the question is too broad for a simple answer. Some technology can be extremely useful if you want to lose weight. A scale, for example, is instrumental in keeping track of your progress. Other types of technology might not live up to the promises made by the manufacturer. A product that claims to reduce fat in a specific part of your body is one to view with skepticism. Surprisingly, it turned out that it is actually some of the passive devices that might work for you better. There are those, for example, which track your activities and caloric intake. Now, these might sound passive, but in reality they may help you lose weight more than a gym full of exercise equipment. That's because tracking what we eat and how much we exercise is both a motivator and an easy way to spot why a particular routine is or isn't working. There's no real secret to losing weight -- it's a combination of eating the right diet and getting enough exercise. Tracking devices help you adjust your meals and activity level to achieve your goal.
