The best Android weight loss apps
This practical tip tells you which Android apps are the best way to lose weight.
Noom Coach for Android - Lose Weight Healthy
- Noom Coach creates a weight loss plan tailored to you: First, answer a few questions and feed the app with data.
- Then keep a food and exercise diary. You enter your meals counting calories, and you are motivated to take a certain number of steps to become more active.
- In addition, Noom Coach motivates you to become active in a playful, sporty way: you earn medals for regular workouts and various exercises. Cool: Noom Coach can be connected to Google Fit.
- The coach does offer some free features, but you won't be able to avoid pro membership if you're serious about losing weight. Many areas, such as recipes or group exchanges, are only available in the Pro version.
- Conclusion: Noom Coach is a good weight loss app, but it is increasingly aimed at paying customers. A monthly subscription model can make this expensive in the long run.
MyFitnessPal - calorie counter
- At MyFitnessPal, too, you first have to fight your way through a questionnaire so that the app can create a personal weight loss plan for you. You will then find out how many calories you can eat every day.
- As with the Noom Coach, you also enter all meals that you have eaten in this app. The barcode scanner makes it easier to find and add groceries.
- You set a goal at MyFitnessPal, see your progress and can be reminded of certain things. In addition, you can add personal recipes and groceries to the app.
- In addition, you will be shown a nutritional analysis that provides information about your eating behavior. This is especially useful if you want to change your habits.
- Conclusion: The app offers many different functions for free, which will help you with the acceptance test. To use it, however, you must first register. The sport unfortunately falls by the wayside in the app.
Weight watchers
- With the Weight Watchers Android app, you can lose weight with the help of the well-known points plan: points are assigned to every meal, and you can only eat a certain number of points every day. In the case of membership, an individual profile will be created for you in advance.
- In the app you can enter food on the go, for example using a barcode scanner or using the "Drag & Drop Tool", where you can create your own meal.
- There are also success stories, articles and a shopping list as well as recipes and favorites.
- In addition to changing your diet, you can also note sports activities. For example, if you have a fitness bracelet, you can link it to your account and diligently collect activity points. Such a link is possible, for example, using the Fitbit app if you use a corresponding device.
- Conclusion: This weight loss app is practical, but should rather be seen as a supplement to the Weight Watchers program. It will be difficult to lose weight with the app alone - you need a corresponding membership for 16.95 euros per month, including a one-time registration fee of 29.95 euros. If you book the program for three or six months there is no registration fee and you save a bit of money for using the first months.
Get Slim: Lose weight with hypnosis
- If you want to try a completely different approach, you can also try the Get Slim app. This should enable you to lose weight with hypnosis. A 30-minute program was created for this, which is also suitable for beginners.
- Conclusion: The app is a nice addition to the training and can help you lose weight. However, you shouldn't expect miracles or rely entirely on hypnosis alone, because you have to be active yourself. This app could serve as an incentive, which is available in the Google Play Store for EUR 2.69.
