Ok, I have to tell you that I have found two new gadgets, two new tools, and two new weapons in the war against fat.  Its called the Gowear Fit Band and this new cookbook called “The Best Light Recipe”.  As I have mentioned in previous hubs, and as many of you can relate to, I have a continuing, never-ending, exhausting war against the scale.  I am constantly on the lookout for ways to control my weight.  Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to be a naturally thin person, I imagine it must be like flying or running after you’ve been in a wheel chair for many years.  My personal battlefield has been in the area of calorie control because I love food, I love going out to eat, I love staying in to eat, I eat when I’m sad, when I’m happy and when I’m bored.  So the invention I’m going to tell you about was a godsend.  It’s called the Gowear Fit Band.  What it does is it tells you how many calories you expend each minute, hour and day.  This allows you to eat fewer calories and to eventually lose weight.  It’s pure science, no messing around for me anymore!

If you are anything like me you have no idea how many calories you use up each day and to be truthful if you are going to fudge it’s going to be in the direction that allows more fudge not less.  I had no clue.  I bought this gadget and put it on.  I was attracted to the immediate reward of seeing the accumulation of calories spent with each additional step, walk, crunch and skip.  I set up my goal of expending 1000 more calories a day than I use so that I could lose 2 pounds a week.   One pound is equal to 3500 calories so a 1000 calorie deficit would mean a 2 pound weight loss per week. No more wondering how many calories I am using and how many calories I am eating, now it was going to be an exact science.  If you’ve ever wondered whether you have a thyroid problem or your metabolism is the worst in known history this gadget is for you.  The computer software that comes with the Gowear Fit Band also allows you to log and track your daily calorie intake. 

The other wonderful discovery I’ve made is a cookbook called “The Best Light Recipes Cookbook”.  This cookbook has done what all of us who are searching the internet and countless cookbooks would like to do, they have tested hundreds of recipes in search of the best light recipes.  The book tells you all the methods they tried and which ones succeeded.  So far every recipe I’ve tried in this book has been excellent.  It’s a must have for the eternally vigilant weight watcher.

I hope you find these two tools as helpful as I have in your journey towards healthful eating.
