Use 4G Wireless to Stick To Your Diet

Every January, diet companies and weight loss authors experience a sudden increase in business. As Americans gain more and more weight, people are willing to pay to have so-called experts help them shed unwanted pounds in the new year. But unfortunately, few people keep their resolutions past January. This is largely because Americans usually turn to quick weight loss strategies in hopes of working really hard for one month, seeing all the weight drop off, and never having to think about it again. But these crash diets rarely work, and even if they produce results, they never last. Real, permanent weight loss takes slow, steady effort. Most Americans know this intuitively, but it can be difficult to resist the appeal of those guaranteeing instant results.

Those who do attempt more "healthy" routes to weight loss will often give up in frustration somewhere in mid February. Losing one to two pounds a week as doctors recommend is hardly thrilling. And what's more, life gets in the way. A high stress job, lunches on the go, and plain old over-eating make it difficult for Americans to follow a sensible diet that keeps them slim. Who has the time to calculate the calories of the sandwich you hastily packed before running out the door to work? And how are you supposed to figure out how many calories were in the Chicken Vesuvio you ordered on date night at that swanky new Italian restaurant?

For those who are extra-committed, the ease of accessing the Internet with their 4G wireless phones can make sticking to a diet a piece of cake (or a piece of steamed fish if you'd prefer). There are dozens of online weight loss forums that one can join with wireless Internet so that you can get diet advice and mutual support from those around the country who are in the same difficult pursuit as you are. This can be especially helpful for if you are surrounded by "bad dietary influences," or by those who discourage your attempts at weight loss out of insecurity or jealousy. You can use these online communities to record your calories as well, or create food logs.

But what about when you're grabbing a quick lunch with coworkers, or in a grocery store deciding between two items that don't have nutrition information on their labels? This is where your 4G wireless comes in. Now, you can use your phone to access wireless Internet just about everywhere! You can quickly look up calorie information on the go, and help yourself make informed decisions throughout the day. Now you can't use the excuse that you were at a restaurant, because you have access to information wherever you go! You can even record the items in your online food journal, so that there are no surprises when recording your calories at the end of the day.

Of course it's always important to make sure you don't become too obsessive. You don't need to break out your phone if you take a few grapes from a coworker at lunch. But having more information, and more ways to keep yourself in check, is the first step to transforming your diet and your lifestyle.
