Turn Your iPhone’s Health App into an iPhone Weight Loss Dashboard

If you have iPhone’s Health app, you should maximize its use especially as it can be used as part of your iPhone weight loss dashboard. You should not be discouraged by its clunky user interface and garish colors because it can be genuinely useful particularly when customized to match your personal fitness goals.

Making Your Body’s Dashboard

In your car’s dashboard, you will get relevant information necessary for your safe and effective driving, such as speed, fuel level, and engine oil level, among others. In the same manner, a dashboard for your body can provide information about the effectiveness of your diet and exercise program for weight loss, even for muscle building. You can then make the necessary corrections in your diet and/or exercise program so that you will be back on track with your fitness goals.

Think of your smartphone in its slim iPhone case as the physical dashboard and the Health app as the speedometer and the like. You can then make smarter decisions about your health, such as increasing the intensity of your exercises or decreasing your caloric intake.

Finding the Best Fitness Data

You will find that the Health app has hundreds of different types of data from the familiar (e.g., body weight) to the unfamiliar (e.g., peripheral perfusion index). You should start with the basic and familiar data so that you will be encouraged with your initial success in actually using them. You may also want to limit the number of stats on your dashboard specifically to the ones that matter to your fitness goals.

Of course, you can customize your fitness dashboard since it is Apple’s intention in the first place when it first launched the Health app. Your customized dashboard is the first thing that you will see when opening the app, which usually have brightly-colored charts. You can tap and hold the charts so that you can reorder them, too, as well as add different charts to your existing dashboard.  

You can start with these charts on your weight loss dashboard:

•   Weight, an obvious choice considering that you want to shed excess pounds  
•   Body fat percentage, with Withings Smart Body Analyzer as one of the better choices
•   Dietary Calories, which allows for adding the number of calories with each meal and snack
•   Active Energy, which records the number of calories burned

Of course, you should actually use the Health app and its data especially when exercising so that the number of steps or the distance traveled can be logged in. You must also place your smartphone in a durable and beautiful iPhone thin case to protect it from damage.
