Teach People How To Follow A Diet
Well, It's Really Very Simple

The idea of using more calories than we consume from eating foods is simple enough, but, yet, it seems to be difficult for many people to break the routine that they live under. The average body consumes about 2450 calories just to stay alive. In addition, you consume calories by doing things, including thinking and writing. Plus, if you exercise, that is more calorie consumption. You have to eat less calories than you expend to lose weight. You must find the resolve to avoid breaking the diet, by eating food with the wrong amounts of carbs and fat. If you eat the wrong, it will take longer to lose weight, or you may not lose it at all. You need a database of foods and nutrition information. You need regular exercise, not just a bit, here and there. You have to take it seriously and have a goal. It seems easy. But it isn't. Also, you need the support of other humans and the nutritional advise. Perhaps, it can be taught online. We have a lot of people who are overweight. It will take a community effort to help them prolong their healthy life.

This project is made possible by the City and County of San Francisco, SPUR, the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services and the Department of Technology
