Most smartphone users have access to nutrition or fitness apps at their fingertips. So in this episode I review the pro’s & con’s of these trackers. I review the common types of apps that many people download on their phones: calorie counting apps, fitness trackers, and professionally guided apps. I personally do not currently use a calorie counter, and I use fitness trackers sparingly, due to all the “cons” that I review in this episode. I also strongly discourage my clients from using them as well! But that doesn’t mean they are inherently bad to everybody, which is why I think it's important to have this candid conversation of all the pro’s and con’s. I strongly advise you to engage with these apps and trackers cautiously. And the best advice I can give is to seek professional guidance to see long lasting, personalized, and evidence-based nutrition and fitness guidance. There are apps that you can track your health progress with the help of a coach for just that! I use an app with my clients and it allows all the benefits of tracking, without all the consequences! If you find that using nutrition or fitness trackers has a negative impact on your physical or mental health, it may be time to delete the app but pick up the phone and make a call to get the professional guidance you need! You can do so by heading to www.RiseUpNutritionRUN.com and booking a call with me to discuss your personal nutrition needs!
