Twitter is one of the hottest Web 2.0 communities around these days. Millions of tweets are posted to the site on a daily basis. It’s a great way to share information, learn from others, and expand your network. Twitter allows anyone to get in touch with the gurus and experts in any industries and connect with them. But Twitter is more than just about making conversations. Did you know that you can actually track what you eat and even lose weight using Twitter?

There are a lot of tools that you can use on Twitter to become more effective. It just happens that a few applications let you track what you eat and how much calorie you are taking in. That way you can stay on track and continue losing weight. Let’s not forget that Twitter allows you to connect with other folks who are in the same boat as you. By connecting with these folks, you can form a group and lose weight together. Here are a few Twitter tools that can help you stay on track and lose more weight:

• FoodFeed: foodfeed is a service that helps you share your eating habits with everyone, from anywhere. It’s also a great way to find people who are in the same boat as you. Maybe you can form a group and help each other out with weight loss.
• SugarStats: a great way to track what you are eating everyday.
• TweetPlot: Tweetplot is a charting tool for Twitter. If you plan to track your weight loss progress or how much calorie you have been taking in the past few days, you can use TweetPlot to create a graph based on your data.
• Tweet What You Eat: another great tool to note down what take during each day. Sometimes, we forget a lot of those small things that we have during the day. But the calories add up quickly. With this tool, you can track what you are eating.

As you can see, you can do much more than talking on Twitter. If you are on Twitter all day, why not use it to improve your health as well?
