There are hundreds of different diets that promise to help you lose weight fast. But research has shown that the best way to lose weight is to stay on a calorie-based diet. In other words, as long as you are burning more than you are taking in everyday, you are going to lose weight. That’s not diet science. That’s plain science. The problem with these diets is it’s way too easy to go over your daily calorie limit if you are guessing or discounting everything you are eating (yes, that yogurt has 150 calories!).

Nutrition Menu is a cool application for iPhone that lets you lose weight by letting you know exactly how many calories you are taking in. That way it’d be harder for you to cheap (knowingly or unknowingly).

Nutrition Menu not only allows you to count calories for any kind of outdoor food, but it also lets you keep track of what you are eating and how much more you can eat without going over your daily goal. You can create you own diet journals and email them to yourself.

The iPhone may be a shiny phone, but it provides many cool applications that you can use to lose weight fast. If you have an iPhone, you already have every tool you need to lose weight. There are no excuses.
