Rad innovation: products to help you stay on track

For most people, sticking to a healthy diet and workout regimen can be tricky, and understandably may need outside help to stay on track. With the crazy amount of innovation out there today paired with new advances in technology, keeping up with your diet and workouts are easier now than ever before. Here are some products that I've come across that anyone looking to get (or stay) fit would love:

HAPIfork: a fork that alerts you when you are eating too fast to prevent you from overeating

SmartMix: a mixing bowl that electronically measures the ingredients you put into it by volume and weight, keeping your measurements exact to ensure no excess calories are added

Nike + FuelBand: tracks your time, calories, steps, and your NikeFuel (Nike's activity-based point system). The band allows you to set a goal and lets you know your progress toward achieving it through an LED light system

Aqua Zinger Flavored Water Maker: a great alternative to a sugary sports-drink, this water bottle lets you put your fruit of choice into the bottom of the bottle and then infuses it into the water, creating an all-natural flavored drink that's full of antioxidants

GEFU Spirelli Spiral Slicer: this device lets you turn raw vegetables into string-like pieces that you can cook up to create a low-carb and low-calerie alternative to spaghetti (I just received one of these as a holiday gift, can't wait to try it out!)

Jaybird Sportsband Stereo Bluetooth Headphone: headphones that sync to your ipod so that you can work out without having to worry about that pesky wire (also comes in earbud versions)

Ceramic Chick Egg White Separator: allows you to easily separate your egg whites from the yolk

Yonanas Ice Cream Treat Maker: a machine that turns frozen bananas and other frozen fruit into what tastes like ice cream! A completely guilt-less dessert packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and with no fat or cholesterol!

Wake Up, Work Out Alarm Clock: a dumbbell alarm clock that only shuts off after 30 bicep reps are completed. Motion sensors monitor how many reps you've done and if they are done correctly, so there is no cheating your way out of this workout!

Sportline HydraCoach: a water bottle that tracks the amount of water you should be consuming daily to stay hydrated, letting you know how much more water you must consume to reach your recommended intake and pushing you to drink more when you're lagging behind

Meal Measurement Plate: a plate-size food separator that makes preparing a portion-controlled meal simple, even including the type of food you should be putting into each column

As I come by more helpful gadgets, I'll be sure to share them with you!
