Weight Loss Apps Are Dead, Long Live Weight Loss Apps

From Fitbit to MapMyFitness, there are plenty of apps which focus on weight loss. Anyone trying to lose a few pounds may think they are the key to success. The truth is your kitchen is the solution. In fact, the appliances in the kitchen are what make the biggest difference. It doesn’t seem likely when at first glance, but look deeper. The right apps can help with organization, reducing calories and consuming your five-a-day. All you have to do is make sure you have the ones which are useful, and here’s what you should know.

Asparagus and Chicken with Zucchi Olive Oil

Apps are dead, long live apps!

 

Scales Are Spot On

 

A fantastic way to reduce calories is to eat the perfect amount of food. Usually, a person fits as much as possible on a plate as if it’s that person’s last meal. Even if the dish is healthy, consuming too many calories isn’t going to help because the body will store them as fat. The trick is to get portion control just right, and digital scales are the way forward. All you have to do is weigh out the exact ingredients, no more, no less. Scales are great for snacks, too, especially freehand ones such as nuts.

 

Zucchi Extra Virgin Olive OilFrying Doesn’t Have To Be Unhealthy

 

Oil goes into a pan, the pan gets hot and food starts to cook. Voila. The problem is not the ease but the transformation. As soon as extra virgin olive oil touches a pan, it turns into an unhealthy substance. Yep, even the https://www.livestrong.com/article/511117-is-deep-frying-in-olive-oil-good-for-you says so too.  Thankfully, a simple solution is in order, and it’s called an air fryer. With this http://thekitchenadvisor.com/weve-rounded-up-the-best-air-fryers-for-2017 post, it isn’t hard to find one. And, it is worth the energy because a fryer doesn’t need oil. So, there’s no reason to consume saturated and unhealthy fats.

 

Liquids Are Solid

 

The idea of eating or drinking liquids to ease your hunger is never as appealing as munching a steak. Therefore, it isn’t rare for people to dismiss meals such as soup out of hand. However, it’s a big mistake because soup is filling with very few calories and high in nutrients. Sure, tins are available, but nothing beats making your own. Just throw a selection of veggies into a blender and add the stock. Blast it until the texture is thick and consistent, and taste. If it needs salt and pepper, add seasoning. For those who aren’t appeased, a slice of brown bread should work wonders.

 

Nutrisystem MealsSmoothie Criminal

 

Sticking with the topic, soups aren’t the only liquids that aid weight loss. For the people with a sweet tooth, smoothies are your best friend. The trick is to pick ingredients (just fruit) which are tasty and exotic and to drink away. Of course, you’ll need a blender or a smoothie machine to whip up a bad boy. You can use a regular food processor, but smoothie makers are specialists. Anyway, you don’t want to find bits of tomato soup in your shake. Disgusting!

 

A weight loss trick which always works is choosing the right kitchen appliances. If you don’t know where to start, the above is as good a place as any.
