According to this article, they hurt weight loss efforts. I gave up artificial sweeteners last year, and simply drink water or sugar free fruit juice sweetened with stevia.

How to swap out unhealthy food for healthier alternatives, in this article.

The main take away of this article, is that it’s a lifestyle change, not a diet.

Here’s another good article on healthy eating during the holidays. Best line in the article, “One 300-calorie cookie takes 60 minutes of walking for a 150-pound person to burn off.”

The holidays are just around the corner, so how do you enjoy yourself. This article has some good tips.

The latest version to support iOS7 has been submitted to the app store for approval. Included features include:

• iOS7 changes.
• iCloud upgraded to be compatible with iOS7. Please note io7 and io6 devices can not sync together.
• A new Data Maintenance section under Settings to allow you to remove old data, de-duplicate your data, and backup your data.
• Moved the bar code scanning feature to the Food Log entry screen to make it more obvious.
• Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

Some surprisingly good tips from this CNN article.

I’m currently testing some changes I made to deal with iCloud’s shortcomings in apps that have a database. It’s only been a few days but so far i have not seen the dreaded ‘iCloud Sync Problem’ pop up any more. I did notice some minor things, such as the time period getting ‘lost’ on an entry after a sync, but a quick local rebuild of the iCloud data fixed it.

The update will require that you do turn off iCloud on all devices, and that the iCloud data is deleted. Once the update is done, you can turn back on iCloud.

As soon as the emergency release awaiting approval right now is released (I broke the app on older devices not running 6.1), expect another update to enhance iCloud usage.

Since a few people, including me have had problems with iCloud syncing, I’m thinking of moving to a third party solution. The one I found will cost me less than $50 per month, which is rather small amount, so I’ll offer it for free.

I’m testing on iOS7 now to see if anything has been improved from Apple’s side, and if not I’ll switch over to the third party service.

Release 3.1 should fix the issues folks were having starting the app after 3.0. Also a few people noticed in 3.0 I also broke adding group items. That should also be fixed.

If any one is still having issues please email I’ll be happy to fix right away.

Now on to iCloud. What can I say but *sigh*. I’m thinking of removing the feature due to the issues people have been having. I myself lost 3 weeks worth of data yesterday. I’m going to do some testing with iOS7 to see if it is improved and will let you know.
