Laura talks fitness apps for Boots WebMD in June

The high tech way to diet - Why harnessing technology can be a smart move for dieters

Remember back in the dim, distant diet days, when you had to portion and weigh your food and then check how many calories it had in a well-thumbed calorie counter book? Well technology has moved on a bit since then! There's a whole range of programmes, gadgets and apps to help out.

Most of us these days are never without our mobiles and there's a glut of diet and fitness apps about.

One of the UK's leading personal trainers Laura Williams says, "I think what's really great about the whole concept of phone apps for diet and fitness is that it can add a novelty, gadget-y appeal to an area which is often perceived as hard work and, quite frankly, a bit dull!"

...She says, "I think to be able to see the fruits of your hard work at the end of the day in the form of facts and figures on your mobile phone acts as a great motivator for many people.

"It gives many people a sense of empowerment, like they're really in charge of where the ship's going!"
