 was unaware of the breach until the middle of march, and they announced the news a few days after they discovered it.<\/p>\n<p>they required all myfitnesspal users to change their passwords, and they

src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-pros-and-cons.jpg\" alt=\"myfitnesspal pros and cons\" width=\"11811\" height=\"5905\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>myfitnesspal pros and cons<\/h2>\n<h3>myfitnesspal pros<\/h3>\n<h3>convenient<\/h3>\n<p>you can use myfitnesspal on computers, tablets, or mobile phones. the site has a database of 3,282,000 different foods that you can log. you can even scan a barcode on a packaged food item to log it, so you don\u2019t have to spend time typing in the brand name and searching for the right item.<\/p>\n<h3>user-friendly<\/h3>\n<p>the myfitnesspal app and the website both have an intuitive layout. you can log a meal with just a few clicks, and you can quickly adjust your settings from the main menu. it\u2019s easy to access everything you need, and glitches or crashes are sporadic.<\/p>\n<h3>provides instant feedback<\/h3>\n<p>if you log a meal into the myfitnesspal tracker as you eat it, you\u2019ll immediately see all the nutrition information you need to know. the app will show you the micronutrients and macronutrients of each food, so you can make sure you hit your targets every day. logging your calories manually without the help of an app can be quite a time consuming, and you may have to wait until the end of the day to do it. in this case, you won\u2019t know whether you\u2019ve reached your calorie, protein, or micronutrient goals until you\u2019ve already eaten all of your meals. the instant feedback from myfitnesspal lets you make adjustments to your meals as you go about your day.<\/p>\n<p>in one study in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23063049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>jodst<\/em><\/a>, researchers observed obese men and women who used a computerized tracking system like myfitnesspal to lose weight and compared their results to those who didn\u2019t use the system. after several months, those who had used the tracking system lost significantly more weight than those who didn\u2019t, likely because the system helped them make healthy food choices in real-time.<\/p>\n<h3>flexible<\/h3>\n<p>everyone has different starting points, and different fitness goals, and myfitnesspal doesn\u2019t take a one-size-fits-all approach to diet or weight loss. when you create your account, you\u2019ll enter the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>height<\/li>\n<li>weight<\/li>\n<li>gender<\/li>\n<li>age<\/li>\n<li>current and goal weight<\/li>\n<li>activity level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>based on this information, the food tracker will calculate your daily calories and your ideal ratio of carbohydrates, fat, and protein. you can adjust your macronutrient goals manually, though, and myfitnesspal premium lets you set a calorie goal for each meal. all myfitnesspal users have personalized settings and targets based on their stats and goals. you can go into your settings on myfitnesspal and reset your goals, weight, or macronutrient calculator at any time.<\/p>\n<h3>includes extra resources<\/h3>\n<p>myfitnesspal includes more resources than just food journaling. the community aspect of the app is beneficial for some people in their weight loss journey. you can post questions or read advice on the user forums, which cover a wide variety of topics. you can also add friends and see their updates and progress. my fitness pal uploads blog posts regularly with diet and exercise advice, and they offer lots of different recipes. few nutrition apps have as many extra resources as the fitness pal app.<\/p>\n<h3>free<\/h3>\n<p>myfitnesspal calorie counter does have a premium paid version, but one of the best free nutrition apps available is the myfitnesspal free version. it doesn\u2019t inundate you with advertisements like some free weight loss apps do, but it has plenty of features for no cost. even if you find that you don\u2019t like the my fitness pal tracker, you won\u2019t have lost anything by trying it out.<\/p>\n<h3>myfitnesspal\u00a0cons<\/h3>\n<h3>inconsistent scanner<\/h3>\n<p>the scanner is a great feature when it works properly, but there are often issues. it may not always find the product, and the app needs to be updated constantly for the scanner to be updated. you also can\u2019t change the serving measurements. for example, if an item you scanned appears in myfitnesspal in grams, you can\u2019t change the measurement to tablespoons, so you may have to convert measurements on your own.<\/p>\n<h3>database inaccuracy<\/h3>\n<p>the massive food database is one of the benefits of myfitnesspal, but it\u2019s mostly user-generated. this means that the calorie and nutrient information could be inaccurate. if you have a nutrition facts label on packaged food, you should always double-check it while logging on the myfitnesspal app. if you can\u2019t check a label, you should stick with database entries that have a green checkmark, which means that they\u2019re verified.<\/p>\n<h3>time consuming<\/h3>\n<p>myfitnesspal makes the food journaling process as easy and streamlined as possible, but all diet apps are time-consuming. to be accurate, you have to measure out your portions by volume or by weight carefully. then, you have to make sure you log it correctly in the myfitnesspal calorie counter. the first time you make a recipe, you have to enter every ingredient into the recipe builder. seeing all the nutrition information for your meals is valuable, but journaling will take some time out of your day.<\/p>\n<h3>too much focus on calorie counting<\/h3>\n<p>the main focus of myfitnesspal is calorie counting. while this method of weight loss can be successful, it\u2019s not always sustainable. there are many factors involved in fitness and dieting beyond calorie counting. some foods are more satiating than others, so your food choices can have a big impact on how full you are regardless of calories. some foods help you feel more energized, which will help you be active and burn more calories throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>depending on your food choices, two different diets that both consist of 2,000 calories per day could have vastly different effects on weight loss, and one could be much more sustainable than the other. it may be better to focus on the fat or protein tracker, but this isn\u2019t myfitnesspal\u2019s main goal.<\/p>\n<p>most people don\u2019t want to count calories forever. however, if you reach your goal and don\u2019t include counting calories in your maintenance plan, you may gain the weight back. yo yo diets are common because it\u2019s so difficult to stick with one plan for a long time, especially when the plan is restrictive or time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>for some people, counting calories can promote obsessive and disordered eating habits. one study in the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28214452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eating behaviors<\/a><\/em> journal showed a link between fitness trackers and disordered eating habits in college students, but this association could exist in all age groups.<\/p>\n<h2>help myfitnesspal help you<\/h2>\n<p>simply inputting your food into myfitnesspal won\u2019t make you lose weight. to help myfitnesspal help you, you have to follow healthy eating habits. it will be difficult or impossible to stay within your calorie and macronutrient goals if you only eat junk food or fast food. you\u2019ll feel hungry all the time, and you probably won\u2019t get enough nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>one of the easiest ways to gain weight or to hinder your weight loss progress is to drink your calories. your body absorbs calories from beverages just as quickly as calories from food, but calories from drinks are usually \u201cempty\u201d and have no nutritional value. soft drinks and fruit juices are full of sugar, and an 8-ounce serving has over 100 calories. fruit juice contains important vitamins, but it won\u2019t fill you up, and it doesn\u2019t have the fiber that whole fruit has.<\/p>\n<p>if you drink a cup of fruit juice with breakfast and a can of soda with dinner, you\u2019ll increase your calories by 250 to 300 each day. this equates to 26 to 31 pounds every year. many people successfully lose weight just by limiting their liquid calories. instead of drinking fruit juice, eat a whole piece of fruit. instead of consuming soft drinks with your meals, have a glass of water. you\u2019ll drastically reduce your sugar intake, and you\u2019ll improve your health in some ways.<\/p>\n<p>portion control is another critical factor in weight loss. while it\u2019s good to make healthy food choices for your overall health, reducing your calories is the key to weight loss. you don\u2019t have to change up your diet entirely to lose weight. you can start by reducing your portion sizes. the myfitnesspal calorie tracker will help you figure out what portion sizes you should eat to lose weight. the diet tracker also has a recipe builder, so you can input all of the ingredients in a recipe and see how big of a portion you can eat to stay within your calorie goals.<\/p>\n<p>portion control is largely a psychological issue. when you see any amount of food on your plate, you\u2019ll feel inclined to eat it all. studies have found that the number of calories consumed in a meal primarily depends on the size of the meal and only secondarily depends on how satiated the individual feels while eating. obesity rates have increased as portion sizes in packaged foods and in restaurant foods have increased, so there seems to be a link between portion size and calorie consumption, according to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc4337741\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">critical reviews in food science and nutrition<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>myfitnesspal can be a valuable tool for portion control. before you measure out your food, you can use the calorie tracker to determine how much you should eat. then, you can measure out the exact portion size that you plan to eat. you won\u2019t waste any food, and you won\u2019t feel tempted to eat more than your planned portion. over time, it will become easier to guess the right portion sizes without measuring. as you fill up your plate, you\u2019ll know to eat this much protein, eat this much whole grain, and eat this many vegetables, which will help with your maintenance plan once you achieve a healthy weight.<\/p>\n<p>myfitnesspal will tell you the calorie and nutrient information for any food, but there are some ingredients you should avoid. some foods are full of calories but don\u2019t provide many nutrients and won\u2019t make you feel full. it will be difficult to lose weight and eat a healthy diet if these foods are a regular part of your meals, says<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21696306\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the new england journal of medicine<\/a><\/em>. the following are ingredients you should avoid or limit in your diet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>white bread<\/li>\n<li>potato chips<\/li>\n<li>processed meat<\/li>\n<li>salad dressing<\/li>\n<li>vegetable oil<\/li>\n<li>mayonnaise<\/li>\n<li>margarine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>some of these foods, like white bread and potato chips, are high in calories but don\u2019t provide your body with much energy. other foods on this list are very easy to overeat on. condiments, oils, and dressings often contain a significant number of calories, but people add them to their meals without thinking about it. your salad dressing could have as many calories as the salad itself.<\/p>\n<p>the oil you use may have even more calories than the vegetables you cook in it. you don\u2019t necessarily have to eliminate these foods from your diet entirely, but you should be careful with them. if you don\u2019t include them in your food tracker, they could stall your weight loss progress.<\/p>\n<p>you should also limit fast food as much as possible. the myfitnesspal tracker does have fast food items in its database, but these meals are full of unhealthy ingredients. it will be much easier to meet your nutrients goals by making healthy food yourself than by eating mcdonald\u2019s, domino\u2019s, or ben and jerry\u2019s.<\/p>\n<h2>myfitnesspal reviews &#8211; apple and amazon<\/h2>\n<p>myfitnesspal is ranked fifth in the app store for iphones. it has about 1.3 million ratings and has an average star rating of 4.7. the vast majority of reviewers give the meal tracker app four or five stars, and only a tiny fraction of reviewers rated it one or two stars.<\/p>\n<p>one reviewer says that they are happy with the app overall, but they wish it allowed for more customizable macronutrient or micronutrient goals by meal. some features are unavailable on the free version of the app as a way to encourage users to buy myfitnesspal premium.<\/p>\n<h2>myfitnesspal user experience<\/h2>\n<p>myfitnesspal has an intuitive design, and once you get used to entering foods into the calorie app, it should be quick and easy. there are a few different ways you can update your food journal. under whichever meal you\u2019re logging, select the add food option. if it\u2019s a food you eat often, you will probably find it under the recent or frequent tabs. if it\u2019s a food you\u2019ve added to the database yourself, you can find it in the my foods tab. if it\u2019s a meal or recipe you\u2019ve created in the app, look in the meals or recipes tabs.<\/p>\n<p>you can also find foods in the search bar at the top of the screen. when you start typing, the app will suggest foods that you\u2019ve logged before, so you don\u2019t have to scroll through all the options in the database again. if your food isn\u2019t in the database, you can add it by entering the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>brand name<\/li>\n<li>description<\/li>\n<li>serving size<\/li>\n<li>servings per container<\/li>\n<li>calories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>you can add the macronutrient and micronutrient as well, but it\u2019s optional. if you don\u2019t want to type in all this information, you can simply select quick add add and input the calories. you can\u2019t enter the macronutrient information under the quick add feature unless you have the premium version of the app, though.<\/p>\n<p>if you\u2019re logging a packaged food, you can scan the barcode, and the nutrition information will appear on the screen. you should double-check that the serving size is correct before adding it to your food log. in most cases, the fastest and easiest way to log food is to look in the recent tab. most people eat the same foods frequently, so you\u2019ll probably find the majority of your meals there.<\/p>\n<p>on android phones or tablets, you can add the myfitnesspal widget to the home screen. this tells you your remaining calories and lets you access your diary with just one tap. the myfitnesspal widget also has a shortcut to the barcode scanner.<\/p>\n<p>the biggest issue with user experience is that the myfitnesspal free app doesn\u2019t open to the diary page. the home screen shows your calorie information, but you can\u2019t add foods to the diary from this page. most of the home page is taken up by blog headlines, which most users don\u2019t care about. for new users, it can be overwhelming to navigate the app and find the diary page. once you\u2019re there, though, it\u2019s easy to input food.<\/p>\n<p>myfitnesspal connects to a wide variety of other apps and devices. under armour owns it, so you can use it alongside mapmywalk, mapmyrun, or mapmyride. your information from these apps can transfer to myfitnesspal, which lets you store your exercise information on the app without having to type in any information. if you use more than one under armour app, you can download ua record, which keeps track of all of your fitness and nutrition information in one dashboard. you also can connect myfitnesspal to google fit so that you can transfer nutrition and activity information between the two apps.<\/p>\n<p>you can connect myfitnesspal to garmin, fitbit, and many other fitness trackers. your steps, sleep, exercise, and other information will sync to your myfitnesspal account, which can make your calorie goal more accurate. there are sometimes problems with myfitnesspal not syncing with fitbit or with discrepancies between myfitnesspal and google fit, but their customer support site will walk you through a few troubleshooting options. other apps and devices that can sync with myfitnesspal include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>runkeeper<\/li>\n<li>pacer pedometer<\/li>\n<li>strava<\/li>\n<li>nokia smart scale<\/li>\n<li>misfit<\/li>\n<li>microsoft health<\/li>\n<li>trainingpeaks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>you should keep in mind that attaching a fitness tracker will change your recommended calories in myfitnesspal based on how much you exercise that day. when you set up your myfitnesspal account, the app determines your calorie limit with the activity level that you input. however, when you attach your fitness tracker, myfitnesspal will alter your calorie goal with the new information it receives. don\u2019t input your exercise manually into myfitnesspal if it will show up on your activity tracker, or it will be logged twice.<\/p>\n<h2>myfitnesspal fast food nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>one possible reason for rising obesity rates is the prevalence of unhealthy fast food. fortunately, most major fast-food restaurants make their nutrition information available to the public. knowing the calorie and nutrient information for your favorite fast food meals can help you make smart and healthy choices. here are the nutrition facts for some popular fast food and restaurant items:<\/p>\n<h3>arby\u2019s<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>smokehouse brisket: 600 calories, 42g carbs, 35g fat, 33g

have an emotional attachment to food and respond to stress, anger, or sadness by eating, which makes dieting difficult. emotional eating often leads to yo-yo diets where an individual feels motivated for a few days or weeks, then experiences some emotional stress and overeats on unhealthy food to cope.<\/p>\n<p>some people may be more vulnerable to becoming emotional eaters than others because of their brain chemistry. a study published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc4464302\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scientific reports<\/a> journal examined the differences in dopamine receptor binding in the participants\u2019 brains. dopamine is a neurotransmitter that controls the brain\u2019s motivation and reward centers, and it plays a role in addiction.<\/p>\n<p>the participants answered questions about emotional eating and eating as a reward, and they underwent pet scans to reveal information about their dopamine receptors. the researchers found that those who reported eating emotionally and eating as a reward showed stronger dopamine receptor binding, which means that emotional eating may be linked to the levels of dopamine in the brain.<\/p>\n<p>another study in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22027541\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">journal of occupational and environmental medicine<\/a><\/em> discovered that emotional eating may play a stronger role in weight gain than other lifestyle factors. the researchers examined the following factors in their participants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sports participation<\/li>\n<li>nutrition<\/li>\n<li>alcohol consumption<\/li>\n<li>smoking<\/li>\n<li>dietary restraint<\/li>\n<li>emotional eating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>of all of these elements, emotional eating was the most consistently linked to weight gain. participating in sports was closely linked to weight loss and moderated the weight gained by emotional eaters. the researchers concluded that sports activities or other exercises may reduce the problem of weight gain, but psychological treatment is needed to address emotional eating.<\/p>\n<h2>exercise

fasting has become a popular weight loss and fitness diet plan. the diet involves alternating periods of fasting and eating. for example, you may follow a 16\/8 pattern, which means you fast for 16 hours and then have an eight-hour window where you can eat. some people use intermittent fasting to eat two larger meals per day instead of three or four smaller meals, which helps them reduce their calorie intake. you can use myfitnesspal or other diet apps along with intermittent fasting to stay accountable for your calorie and nutrient goals.<\/p>\n<p>even when caloric intake isn\u2019t reduced, intermittent fasting can have health benefits. one study in\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/12724520\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">proceedings of the national academy of sciences of the united states of america<\/a> <\/em>done on mice found that intermittent fasting reduces insulin levels and helps with glucose regulation. this change occurred even though the mice maintained their body weight and food intake.<\/p>\n<h2>diet poll<\/h2>\n<h3>what diet do you prefer to follow?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>calorie counting<\/li>\n<li>weight

effectiveness for weight loss<\/h2>\n<p>in one study in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/286100239_encouraging_use_of_the_myfitnesspal_app_does_not_lead_to_weight_loss_in_primary_care_patients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">journal of clinical outcomes management<\/a><\/em>, researchers recruited about 200 participants who were overweight or obese and were interested in losing weight. one group of participants used myfitnesspal for weight loss, and one group used their own preferred weight-loss method. after six months, the researchers checked the participants\u2019 weight and blood pressure, and they found no significant difference in the changes between each group. those in the myfitnesspal group used a calorie goal for their weight loss more than those in the other group, and 79 percent reported that they were satisfied with the app. however, the my fitness pal app was not more successful for weight loss than the other methods the control group used.<\/p>\n<p>another study in\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/29280547\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nutrition &amp; dietetics<\/a> <\/em>examined how accurate the my fitness pal tracker is compared to paper-based food records. thirty participants recorded their food intake in a paper journal and logged it on myfitnesspal, and the researchers found that myfitnesspal tends to underestimate the number of calories consumed. however, they do state that the app has good relative validity.<\/p>\n<p>this study shows how important it is to be careful when choosing foods from the database on the fitness pal app. the purpose of calorie tracking is to stay accountable, but it doesn\u2019t matter how careful you are if the foods in the database are inaccurate. you should measure out your portions whenever possible and compare the information on the label to the information listed on the app.<\/p>\n<p>one study in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/27742102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nutrition<\/a><\/em> found that myfitnesspal was particularly helpful for tracking sodium intake. half of the participants used myfitnesspal to watch and reduce their sodium intake, and the other half used a paper journal. the researchers measured the participants\u2019 sodium intake with urine tests and found that the myfitnesspal group was much more successful in reducing their sodium. the myfitnesspal group reported more satisfaction with their tracking experience as well.<\/p>\n<h2>ideal height and weight<\/h2>\n<p>a healthy bmi is between 18.5 and 25. a bmi between 25 and 30 is considered overweight, and a bmi over 30 is considered obese. you can use an online calculator to determine your bmi, or you can do it yourself by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters, then dividing your answer by your height once again. here is the weight range for a healthy bmi at each height:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4\u201910: 91-115<\/li>\n<li>4\u201911: 94-119<\/li>\n<li>5\u20190: 97-123<\/li>\n<li>5\u20191: 100-127<\/li>\n<li>5\u20192:

their website to sign up. first, you\u2019ll choose a myfitnesspal login name that can be seen by your friends or other users depending on your privacy settings. next, the app will ask you whether your goal is to lose, maintain, or gain weight. then, you\u2019ll fill in the rest of your statistics, like your height, current weight, age, and activity level.<\/p>\n<p>you might not know which activity level to select, but you can change your settings at any time. after a few weeks of using the app, you might decide that a different activity level is more accurate to your daily calorie expenditures, and when you change your settings, your calorie goal will adjust. you\u2019ll also choose how much weight you want to lose per week.<\/p>\n<p>if you have a particular macronutrient goal, you can adjust the macronutrient calculator by going to settings and selecting my goals. under the nutrition goals section, you can manually adjust your ratio of carbohydrates, fat, and protein.<\/p>\n<p>the primary purpose of myfitnesspal is nutrition journaling. to log a meal, go to the diary section of the myfitnesspal iphone or android app, or click on the food tab of the website. here, you can see your current food diary and add foods to each meal. the calorie content of each food will be displayed to the right, and you can see the calorie total for each meal as well.<\/p>\n<p>to see your nutrient information, select the pie chart at the top right of the screen. here, the app will provide the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>macronutrients<\/li>\n<li>fiber<\/li>\n<li>sugar<\/li>\n<li>cholesterol<\/li>\n<li>sodium<\/li>\n<li>potassium<\/li>\n<li>vitamins<\/li>\n<li>calcium<\/li>\n<li>iron<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>under the macros tab, you can see a pie chart of your daily macros to see how close you are to your target. under the calories tab, you\u2019ll see a pie chart breakdown of the calorie content of each meal.<\/p>\n<p>you can log exercise under the diary page as well. like with the food log, the app displays your most used activity. you can also search for activity and report how many minutes you exercised for. the app will add your calorie expenditures from exercise to your calorie limit for the day.<\/p>\n<p>if you use the same recipes frequently, you can utilize the recipes, meals, &amp; foods page. this way, you won\u2019t have to manually input all of the ingredients each time you make the meal. select create a recipe at the bottom of the page, and either add a recipe from a website or enter the ingredients by yourself. then, you can see the nutrition information per serving, and you can save the recipe and quickly log it in the future.<\/p>\n<p>to connect myfitnesspal to your watch, fitbit, or another device, go to the apps &amp; devices section on the main menu. here, you\u2019ll select the app or device you want to sync, and you\u2019ll go through myfitnesspal to log in to your account for that app or device. you also can see which apps and devices are already connected. if you have a problem with myfitnesspal not syncing with fitbit, garmin, or any other tracker, you can visit the myfitnesspal help website for troubleshooting instructions.<\/p>\n<p>to update your weight on my fitness pal, go to the progress page. you can add progress photos here, too. the progress page includes a graph that shows your weight and bmi changes, and you can select the length of time that\u2019s shown on this chart. if you\u2019ve synced myfitnesspal to garmin, fitbit, or another app or device, you can see charts based on other information like steps, body fat percentage, or measurements.<\/p>\n<p>in addition to food, exercise, and weight tracking, the my fitness pal app offers these features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>blogs with fitness and nutrition advice<\/li>\n<li>recipes<\/li>\n<li>ability to friend request other users<\/li>\n<li>forum and private

more. read on to get the bottom line on lifesum.\r\n<h2>what is lifesum?<\/h2>\r\nlifesum is a health app designed to help users keep track of their dietary and fitness habits. plus, it allows users to integrate healthy practices. the app offers resources for both eating and exercising, and it also offers free and premium plans. it is one of many apps providing food diary technology, community integration, recipes, and diet plans.\r\n\r\nthe comprehensive app also offers a convenient way to track water intake for adequate hydration, and it links to popular fitness bands like fitbit and jawbone. lifesum offers features many other apps and fitness or diet programs provide. however, there are a few factors that set lifesum apart from the competition.\r\n\r\nlifesum offers individual assessments to help users gauge their health status and provide advice on how they can become healthier. these assessments can also help lifesum users figure out which dietary plan they want to begin out of the offered options.\r\n\r\nthis app is also easy to use and fits seamlessly into many lifestyles by connecting to other apps and fitness gear.\r\n\r\nwe want to briefly look at some of the

millennials, was established in 2013 by a team of visionaries: tove westlund, martin wahlby, marcus gners, and henrik torstensson. headquartered in stockholm, germany, the quartet sought to develop more than just a weight-loss app, aspiring to craft a versatile tool that could comprehensively enhance users' well-being. their collective ambition materialized into lifesum, a platform encouraging individuals worldwide to experiment and cultivate habits promoting healthier and happier lives.\r\n\r\nfrom its stockholm origins, lifesum has evolved into a global force, assisting millions across 250 countries in enhancing their diets. boasting 50 million registered users and support for 11 languages, the app consistently ranks among the top 10 in the health &amp; fitness category on the app store.\r\n\r\nnoteworthy partnerships with amazon halo and recognition at apple\u2019s wwdc20 conference underscore lifesum's innovative approach to personalized nutrition through technology. co-founders torstensson and gners, leveraging their prior collaboration at stardoll, a prominent online fashion community, brought valuable experience to the venture.\r\n\r\nlifesum's freemium business model allows users to explore a portion of the services for free, with additional premium features available through a paid membership. the app caters to diverse preferences and dietary plans, facilitating users in tracking progress and seamlessly integrating with activity trackers for a holistic approach to well-being.\r\n<h2>lifesum benefits<\/h2>\r\nwhile the lifesum app has its

track, while the lifesum community and friends offer additional support. finally, the user has a better chance of losing weight while following one of the diet plans and trying out various tasty and healthy recipes.\r\n<h2>does lifesum work?<\/h2>\r\nlifesum works in multiple ways, but whether it helps users be successful in their dietary or fitness goals depends on individual users. lifesum can help users easily document their food and water intake and exercise history while assisting them in keeping track of their weight and weight loss progress.\r\n\r\nrather than relying on old-fashioned ways of documenting dietary and fitness habits, this app helps automate the process so users can gain a long-term understanding of how they eat and their physical activity level.\r\n\r\nin addition to these benefits, lifesum also offers to help users lose weight, eat better, and reach their goal size. some users not only find it practical to track calories and activity, but they also find weight loss to be easier and simpler by using the app. user reviews are a great indicator of whether lifesum works to help people reach their health goals.\r\n<h2>lifesum app<\/h2>\r\nthe lifesum app

hydration goal for the day. the user can also enter their weight and get feedback on their app's progress for additional support or motivation. upon opening the app or returning to the home tab, the dashboard displays the number of calories left in the center.\r\n\r\nthis number adjusts as users enter their food items throughout the day. the user can also see burned calories, carb, protein, fat consumption, and the date.\r\n\r\nswiping down takes the user to premium charts and tables that further analyze the user's dietary intake. premium users can also view their overall daily rating based on how well they stick to their calorie budget.\r\n<h2>lifesum food diary<\/h2>\r\nthe food diary tool allows users to enter what they ate based on individual ingredients or prepared meals.\r\nthis

this is perfect for quick snacks and foods ready to eat right out of the packaging.\r\n\r\nhowever, having a barcode isn\u2019t necessary, and simply typing in the name of the food item will bring up a host of options to choose from that offer correct calories and nutrition facts.\r\n\r\nfor example, searching for \u201cwhite bread\u201d will result in several different options, allowing the user

uncomfortable transition.\r\n\r\nhowever, once the body is adjusted, it should continue to run on fat and help the dieter lose a significant amount of weight, including water weight, in a shorter period.\r\n\r\npeople on this diet are encouraged to eat a lot of fats and oils and protein sources, although the protein intake must be monitored.\r\n\r\nthis can take away many familiar foods and make the dieter feel as if they\u2019re starving, and it\u2019s not healthy to maintain long-term.\r\n<h3>classic plan<\/h3>\r\nthe classic diet plan focuses on calories and nutrition without

tracking<\/h3>\r\nlifesum users also have the option to track their exercise the same way they track their caloric intake.\r\n\r\nin addition to importing information from other apps and fitness bands, including steps, distance, and calories burned, users can input various exercises completed to see their caloric burn.\r\n\r\nfor example, users can input different exercises such as burpees, crunches, or squats. users can also add activities such as soccer, pilates, and even cleaning.\r\n\r\nthe app may ask for the user\u2019s weight, and the number of reps performed depending on the exercise to track an accurate number of calories burned.\r\n<h3>lifesum social community<\/h3>\r\nthe social community feature helps friends connect across the app for support and encouragement and help users feel like they're part of a broader health community.\r\n\r\nthe app allows users to update profile images, share updates, like posts from friends, share recipes and pictures, etc. users can also add as many friends as they like and browse their feed like most standard social media platforms.\r\n\r\nwhile browsing their feed, users may see updates from friends such as dieting tips, weight loss progress, or fitness routines. they may also see links to articles and resources related to diet and fitness.\r\n<h2>lifesum recipes<\/h2>\r\nlifesum offers a variety of daily healthy recipes for free users, complete with ingredients, nutrition details, and instructions.\r\n\r\nrecipes offered by lifesum present well-rounded nutrition, including plenty of vitamins, minerals, and protein.\r\n\r\ndishes may also include nutritious and popular foods like avocados, beets, and berries. these are either breakfast, dinner, lunch, or dessert recipes.\r\n\r\nthe app may also occasionally offer snack recipes. paying users unlock far more than one recipe per day.\r\n\r\nhowever, they have access to multiple recipes on any given day they can try out or save for later.\r\n<h2>lifesum cost<\/h2>\r\nlifesum provides a free version with some limitations, or users can opt for a premium membership by subscription, unlocking additional features. while the free version offers only one diet option, a premium subscription allows users to switch among 12 different diets, such as classic, high protein, keto easy, scandinavian, clean eating, and mediterranean. the free account has restrictions on saving favorite foods and exercises, and it doesn't track detailed stats like macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat, and protein).\r\n\r\nfor those considering a longer commitment, lifesum offers increasing discounts as the subscription period extends. unfortunately, there's no trial period for a single-month subscription to test the app's fit for individual needs. users interested in exploring premium features must sign up for one of the available subscription plans, with the payment for the entire subscription period billed upfront as a single payment.\r\n\r\nsubscription options include $14.99\/month for a monthly plan, $10\/month for a three-month plan billed at $29.99 quarterly, and $8.33\/month for a one-year plan billed at $99.99 annually. it's crucial to note that if a user does not cancel their subscription and is dissatisfied with the premium features, it automatically renews at the end of the twelve months, leading to another billing cycle.\r\n<h2>lifesum reviews<\/h2>\r\nlifesum user reviews range as widely as the users and cover a diverse list of aspects, including features, interface, and tools. while many lifesum users are satisfied with what the app has to offer, others, not so much.\r\n\r\nusers mentioned not being able to find options catering to various diets such as paleo or vegan diets.\r\n\r\nhowever, some users agreed they liked the app's interface, functionality, and the potential to have an app help with weight loss.\r\n<h2>lifesum contact information<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n

a drug or food product, it doesn\u2019t have any harmful side effects.\r\n\r\nthe app does offer plenty of dietary and health-oriented advice, however, and users should always be cautious about trying anything new, especially if it feels extreme.\r\n\r\nthis may include practices like fasting, eliminating all carbs, or doing intense exercise.\r\n\r\neven when a diet plan looks good, it\u2019s best to check with a doctor or dietitian before starting any new diet plan or making any unusual eating habits.\r\n\r\nin general, users should always take caution when:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>cutting calories<\/li>\r\n \t<li>reducing carbohydrate intake<\/li>\r\n \t<li>starting a trendy diet plan<\/li>\r\n \t<li>fasting<\/li>\r\n \t<li>performing new exercises<\/li>\r\n \t<li>making major

the user\u2019s bmi and goal weight.\r\n\r\nbut, every user should be cautious when cutting calories and making the necessary dietary changes for their health.\r\n<h3>lifesum in the

wanted to learn more about this diet pill, so they delved into the weight-loss claims, potentially dangerous side effects, and the many warnings issued by the fda. in the end, we reviewed all the essential facts and any customer testimonials from redotex to see if this is worth your time at all.\r\n<h2>what is redotex?<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\"

from mexico and marketed in the united states as a purported weight-loss solution. designed to elevate the metabolic rate and ostensibly aid in weight reduction while managing nervous tolerance, redotex has garnered attention for its unconventional approach to weight management. despite its availability, it is crucial to note that redotex lacks approval from the u.s. food and drug administration (fda), raising significant safety concerns.\r\n\r\nthe fda has taken a proactive stance by banning the distribution of redotex in the united states due to its potential health risks.

entered the mexican market as a prescription dietary supplement designed for daily consumption to assist morbidly obese patients in their weight loss journeys. the product is part of a lineup from medix that includes andanza, esbelcaps, neobes, obeclox, solucaps, terfamex, and triyotex.\r\n\r\nredotex made its introduction to the u.s. market as early as the early 1980s, with reports from 1987 indicating a surge in american tourists crossing the border equipped with bottles of redotex obtained from weight-loss clinics situated in mexican border communities. notably, the federal drug administration (fda) does not endorse the distribution of redotex, citing concerns over potential adverse side effects associated with its use. the fda's cautionary stance reflects a broader skepticism about the safety and efficacy of redotex as a weight-loss solution.\r\n\r\ntheir phone number is +52-5550962200. you can also contact medix through the contact form

redotex can lead to weight loss, but this benefit does not outweigh the product's dangers.\r\n\r\nmany comments and reviews about the product note the negative side effects, as such, the redotex supplement does not offer a long-term weight-loss solution. long-term side effects and health conditions can arise from consistent consumption of this diet pill, which may lead to more weight gain in the future.\r\n\r\noverall, these products are generally not safe to use and are not recommended.\r\n<h2>how to take redotex<\/h2>\r\nthere are no specific dosages incited on the redotex pill label
