Numbers show that worldwide obesity has almost doubled since 1980. 70% of dieters have used more than one approaches to dieting, like meal replacement (Source: Mintel Diet Trends US).
Dairy protein, as found in Greek Yogurt is believed to be one of the keys to a healthy nutrition. Timing of protein in the daily diet has also been investigated. Research from American Journal of Clinical Nutrition studied the effect of consuming a high protein breakfast concluding that a high protein breakfast improved satiety and reduced snacking throughout day. Equally important is a balanced blood sugar level which is improved with fruits like Blueberries, Grapefruit and Pineapple. All 3 are said to be excellent choices when it comes to a healthier lifestyle and a balanced diet.
Another ideal way to manage the daily intake and keep up with your fitness program are fitness apps. Numerous diet apps for mobile phones and tablets allow people to track their food intake for free or at a minimal charge. Diet and Exercise programs should seek to seamlessly integrate with technology advances, as Weight Watchers has done with Jawbone and Fitbit.
