We talked with health and fitness experts to understand how we can enhance the results of diet and exercise. And they pointed us to five applications for your cell phone, the best rated in the offices, which will contribute to the maintenance of your ideal weight.
They propose exercise circuits, calculate your daily calorie intake, tell you how much you should lose weight and how much time you can get, and even remember the time you should drink water and how much you should ingest per day!
But, warns the functional nutritionist Luciana Harfenist, the prior guidance of the specialist is necessary. Coupled with the nutrition applications available, these become tools that can potentiate the established plan.
"Applications are a reality and us nutrition professionals must learn to include them and use them as consultations. Applications can bring some practical benefits to our patients," she acknowledges.
'Drinkwater'
At first glance, an app to remind you that you need to drink water looks silly. It should be obvious, inclusively, but it is not. N day to day, sitting at a desk, often we spent hours without drinking water, for several reasons: "No time," "forget", "I'm too lazy to seek" ... feel thirsty, it is worth remembering, is the body's request for help, which, when it reaches this point, is already dehydrated.
The "Drink Water" is very intuitive, easy to use and cute. It not only alerts you to drinking water but calculates the ideal amount of water for your body, according to your weight.
No need to register. When you open the application, just say your weight and height. Then tells you how much water you should ingest per day, You then report the time you have woken up and the time you want to sleep and he calculates the times within that interval when you must drink water to reach the goal and issue the alert. When drinking water, be sure to advise the application to update the count.
It even contains a fruit table with the amount of water in each. So, when you eat them, you can also kill counting.

'TecnoNutri'
One of the preferred nutritionist assistants, TecnoNutri helps you and your doctor manage your nutrition.
It works like this: the application asks for some personal information like age, sex, height and the ideal weight. Plus, he wants to know what you want: to lose weight? Gain muscular mass? Improve nutrition? Treat diseases?
He will also ask you if you exercise and how often or if you are sedentary.Based on this information, TecnoNutri calculates your Body Mass Index (BMI), a number of calories you should eat per day, and provides the time for you to achieve the goal you have reported to it. In addition, the 'app' generates a suggested menu diet for all meals, indicating the number of calories you should consume in each of them to reach the total of the day.
It has a giant table with nutritional values of food, which includes dishes such as roasted steak and pasta with breaded chicken, as well as soft drinks, juices, fruits, vegetables, industrialized products and more.

Seven
Seven minutes of daily exercises, in the form of circuit, so in vogue, is what this application proposes. Only seven. And the proposal is well-founded: studies claim that a few minutes of training, using their maximum exercise capacity, works the muscles at levels comparable to those of several hours running or cycling. That's it!
It is very easy to handle. You tell what part of the body you want to work on and how much time you have for it. As you use the application, new exercises and times are being unlocked. As if it were advancing in phases.
Before you press "Start", be prepared. The application generates a multi-exercise circuit for you to play there, quickly, in that short amount of time you have available for it.Do you think seven minutes are few? You are wrong! The 'Seven' will make you sweat!
We only need a preview of the exercises to be performed, before the time counting starts, so that we can arrange the objects that it asks for. For example, chair, for a sequence of up and down.

'My fitness pal'
Similar to "TecnoNutri", "My fitness pal" works as a calorie counter and social network for those who want to find people who also seek a healthy life.
It asks your goal (whether to lose weight, maintain weight or gain weight), how many pounds you want to lose, whether you are sedentary or exercise, and how often, your height and your current weight. With this information, he suggests a weekly goal of weight loss and begins to control his food intake by calculating the calories of each meal.
It is able to evaluate the patient's physical condition and indicate the nutritional needs and the ideal physical exercises for that genetic profile. It shows what type of exercise the person has to do, whether strength or aerobic and the mean time indicated.
Another point is the ideal type of diet ("Low Fat", "Low Carbohydrate", "Mediterranean" or "Balanced Diet"), showing the appropriate proportions to be ingested daily.

'Target Weight'
It is an application supplement to the weight loss program. The user can mark the weights after each consultation and feed information to form a chart with its evolution - gain or loss of weight - in the timeline.
The application is meant for the patient to notice the week he or she evolves well or that week when they get too far out of the food plan. The graphs will help raise awareness of how your metabolism works.
But you can not forget: to get the benefits of these applications is essential to follow a nutritionist.
