In recent years, smartphones have been widely used by Americans due to their operability and intelligence. Researchers from Arizona State University recently examined how smartphones can affect individual weight loss by research. Researchers say smartphones can provide users with a new strategy that is superior to traditional methods when tracking dietary data. Published in the international journal Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.

About 83% of Americans own a smartphone of their own, and 45% of their smartphones use the Internet. In this study, researchers recruited healthy, stable adult individuals based on diet tracking. These individuals were semi-randomly divided into different groups, including individuals who used weight loss software, individuals who recorded daily dietary intake information using the mobile memo function, and individuals who used dietary paper to record dietary intake.

Although the use of smartphones does not affect the overall lack of all participants, researchers can obtain better dietary tracking data through individual groups using smartphones. Dr. Christopher Wharton said that individuals who use smartphone software to record diets continue to record daily dietary data compared to groups of individuals who use paper and pen to record dietary information, and that mobile phone “app” technology is more traditional than traditional tools. The development can significantly reduce the cumbersomeness and complexity of tracking data.

The researchers said that the records of individuals recorded on the pen paper will be interrupted, while the individuals using the "app" smartphone will not, but the individuals using the smartphone will not use the "app". The quality of the diet is improved (ie, diet is controlled to lose weight); therefore, food and nutrition experts need to consider combining app technology and dietary counseling into the weight management strategy to improve individual diet, weight and future research in future studies.
