Weight Loss? There's an App for That.

Now a days people have thousands of apps, suited for their everyday needs. There's an App for everything, anything from trying to find the cheapest gas station around to finding the best sex position for your life style. the possibilities are endless and new Apps come out each day, more advanced and more popular. Now there's an App for weight loss. In a random study, people lost more weight with a digital personal trainer and a weight loss program. People in this program got motivational phone calls every 2 weeks. They had another group of people in a random study losing weight with out the App. In this  year long trial they gave the people a goal of losing 5%-10% of their weight. The difference between the groups was in the first 3 months, the technology group lost 4.4 kilograms and the other team lost .84 kilograms. As time went on the technology group lost a much larger weight than the other. Some day, we will have Apps that will control everything!
