Looking at the smartphone app store, we can find a large amount of "diet application" that manages weight, but research results verifying over 2 years that these applications can really be expected are announced.

Participating in the study was 365 men and women aged 18 to 35, whose BMI index was "over 25", which refers to overweight / obesity. The research team developed applications that can record user's "weight shift", "ingested food", "exercise amount", etc., and distributed it to participants. One group challenged weight loss using only this application and another group regularly participated in nutritionist group sessions in addition to the application. Participation in the session is managed exactly by using the check-in function of the smartphone. Finally 14% dropped out, so the result of the verification is 86% participant's data.

The frequency of application usage at the end of 6 months from the start of the experiment was 4.6 times per day on the average for the application group, while 1.8 times for the group with the nutritionist a day on average, but once the year passed, the application only group The average was 0.7 times per day, and the group with nutritionists also averaged 0.4 times a day, both of which had decreased greatly. Regarding the change in weight, the group with nutritionist has achieved a large result of minus 3.7 kg at the end of 6 months,The final result after 2 years was average minus 2 kg in both groupsAnd that.

From this result, the weight management application seems not to have a big influence on the weight loss, and the research author concludes that it can issue a warning "to overstage the diet application." In the future, we will verify the application optimized for individuals and verify the combination of the application and other weight loss plan.
