As a result it is our health that has suffered, and we need to do something before we look back and regret it. Now we are not saying turn your back on technology, as you can use it to your benefit when looking for the best weight loss exercises, which is simplified with apps.

All of these apps that we list for you all have a 5 star rating, so you know that they are proven to be good by you the user. First up we have Weight Loss Training. This app is not a practical one, which might not appeal to some, as it is a book and requires a lot of reading. However, what is the point of rushing into an exercise program when you are unaware of what you are actually going to achieve?

The book is written with the amateur athlete in mind, but could still be perfect for you or I, as we will have a greater understanding of how the human body can handle certain foods, and what exercise regime is best for certain areas. The price for this app is just $1.99.

Weight Loss Tips speaks for itself really, as it does just what it is called. If you would like to learn 100 different ways to lose weight, then this $1.99 is worth the shot. More often than not we just go right into an exercise or just sit right down and have a meal, but there are correct ways to do this. There are simple steps that you can take to lose weight, and it does not require you to spend hours a day at a gym.

Accelerate Weight Loss is the cheapest app yet at $1.99 and has also scored an impressive rating of 5. This app has been developed for those who wish to lose weight fast, and we are not talking about any magic pills here. This iPhone application will explain to you all about how you can get the body that you have always dreamt of, and the best part is that you do not need Internet for the app.

Our final app that we believe to be one of the best for weight loss has to be Everywhere Exercise – EvEx. All of the apps before have been building to this one, as you get to learn which exercises are best to fit into a busy lifestyle. You will not have to break into a sweat with these, as they are gentle routines that can even be done while sitting at your desk.

If these are not for you then we have another “Four Weight Loss iPhone Apps” that offer valuable exercise tips. If they are not for you, then maybe you should consider these “Abs Workouts” instead.

For the most part we all do great jobs, but then there is the issue with health. How many of you just give them junk food and then bury your head in the sand as to the consequences?

However, it is not too late to change things and by using your smartphone you can make things fun as well. So teaching kids to cook with apps, the healthy way has to be the ideal solution.

Remember that you have to get them in the kitchen first, so you should start them off slowly with the “Fun Recipes For Your Kids” iOS app. Not only will it be nice to show them how to cook simple dishes, but also spending quality time with them is priceless – well in theory anyway. The recipes are easy to follow, so kids should not get bored.

The next app is for children and adults and is called “Healthy Recipes: Cooking for Fast Weight Loss” You are best to show your kids this one once they start to enjoy eating healthily, as it is all about conditioning. In this app you will find videos that will show you the best way to cook healthy food, as well as all the ingredients that you need. Taking the little ones shopping could be seen as a fun activity – again this is great in theory.

The final step has to be the “Healthy Kids” app for the iPhone and other iOS devices. This is a great way to teach your kids how to eat better, such as fruits and vegetables. Also with this app you can teach kids eating different colored foods likes fruits and vegetables will make them grow to be strong and healthy.

There are some cases where trying to eat healthy becomes tough, such as on a cruise. However, we have some great advice that should allow you to not put any weight on.

We hope that these apps are of help to you, but try not to blame us if your kids rebel against the ideas.

Having been on a few cruises and with 3 booked up for 2011 and 2012, we have a few tips for you.

We’re Product Reviews after all, so lets point you in the direction of a few apps we found handy to help you while cruising. Time is something on your side when at sea, so reading and using apps is something that can be done with ease, which makes iOS and Android apps perfect for when on a cruise ship.

Apps will help you educate yourself on what food to eat, yes the steak and pork looks nice but there are other tasty options on offer that can stop you putting on weight, and could help you lose weight while on a cruise. Fish, greens and fruit are something we love and the variety on a cruise is amazing.

One app we found that helps you analyze your own food choices and diet is called “Healthy Foods – Calories and Nutritions”, and another more insightful app called “Health Solutions Nutrition” answers a lot about the foods and how they affect your body. Both of these apps are found on Apple’s App Store.

There are thousands of apps for iOS alone, so forget magazines and think applications that both teach you and monitor how your health and fitness are. This doesn’t need to rule your holiday, but will help you monitor and learn what to eat.

My first cruise saw a weight gain of over one stone in 2-weeks, but with a little education the second cruise saw a gain of just one pound, and that was with a lot of eating, although these were healthier foods.

Technology is not a miracle worker; think of apps as educators. There are other small things you can do on a cruise like use steam rooms and the gym just for an hour a day, and if that’s too much then think about using the stairs rather than lifts if your in ok health as this alone can help you lose weight.

Waiters will be at your side all through your cruise, and its not the cost of the drinks that could hurt you most, rather the calories in some drinks can top 500. Educate yourself on the calories in food and also drinks, one app called “QuickkaCalories” will monitor the food intake but there are also apps for drinks.

Learning how to keep the weight down on a cruise will not be easy, but do enough of the right things, have fun, and you will come home feeling relaxed and maybe lighter.

There’s actually a lot of applications available on the App Store which could be more beneficial to you than the standard methods for losing weight fast.

We have a list of some of those apps to show you now, and we think they are going to help you in your quest to beat the bulge in the fastest time possible. The first App is called ”How To Lose 20 Pounds in 3 Weeks” and is priced at $9.99. You may think it’s a pretty expensive price for an App, but unlike ike a standard reading book, this App has been formatted so it reads like an ebook, giving you a useful digital reading tool before going to bed each night.

If you are looking for a similar method but at a cheaper price, you may want to consider downloading ”How to Lose Weight Safely & Quickly” which is available for $3.99 from the App Store. The App lists useful diet tips, foods that should be eaten and also basic exercises which you can try out on a daily basis to keep your body healthy.

Finally, one more App which we recommend is an app that’s specifically tailored for helping teenagers to lose weight. It’s called ‘Guide To Help Teenagers Lose Weight” and is priced at just 99 cents from the App Store. Main features include a detailed analysis on how the problem for teenagers trying to lose weight could be psychological, and the App is perfect for helping parents deal with children who are struggling with their weight.

That is three contrasting Apps for you to consider there, but we hope you have an app to share with us as well. All three Apps are available to download on the App Store now. Let us know how you get on.

You’ll be pleased to know that MSN’s Fitbie is a site which is dedicated to helping you lose weight and keep fit, and a recent article over on their website lists seven ‘surprising’ reasons, why you may have gained weight during the winter period.

That article is just a taster of what is available on the website, as it will also offer eating tips to help you diet, and also quick-access to two week diet plans if you want to start losing weight straight away.

The Fitbie website is barely a few months old, but they are already gaining a strong following over at their Twitter and Facebook pages as well. If you follow either of these pages, you’ll be able to read ‘quick tips’ which may help you to lose weight whilst away from home. One example is their ‘Tasty Tip’ which reveals that restaurant portions are 250% bigger than a normal meal portion.

Their Facebook page is perhaps the more useful of the two, as the Facebook page includes a very handy discussions section, which will allow fans to interact with each other and share diet and fitness tips.

Are you a fan of Fitbie? Visit their website here and let us know if they helped you or not.

As reported from Wral, tests have concluded that Alli and Xenical – the two weight loss pills by GSK, could cause severe liver damage in rare cases.

GlaxoSmithKline has attempted to calm the issues over the products by releasing a recent statement. Here is what Howard Marsh, chief medical officer for GSK had to say on the matter:

”GSK is committed to ensuring that consumers and physicians understand the safety profile of orlistat and alli. GSK wants people to have the information they need to choose the right weight loss aid for their situation.”

Is this enough security for the 10 million people who have already used Alli? Let us know your thoughts on their statement – especially if you have taken either pills before.

According to this report from LocalTechWire, the issue has reached the Food and Drug Administration who has now placed warning risks on the labels of both drugs. At the moment, both are freely available to buy over the counter from GlaxoSmithKline.

Tests were carried out on both products by the FDA and they found 3 instances of liver damage associated with the drugs. As a result of this, they have spoken to doctors over the issue and urged patients to be on the lookout for signs of liver injury – these include yellow eyes and skin, itching and loss of appetite.
