Nothing fancy - just something that records the steps, perhaps connects with the phone but that's not really necessary either.

Here's a podcast which may help with your diet sludge, as you're doing your walking. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00...odes/downloads - listened to most of it recently and have tried to stop all ultra processed food as a result. Have found it quite difficult, but it forces you to cook and take note of what is in your shopping bag/cupboards. It's only been a few days but I was quite shocked at the revelations in the podcast and on looking at the various ingredient lists. Basically the recommendation is to only eat things with ingredients you'd expect to find in a normal kitchen.



Nothing fancy, I just use the "Health" app on my iPhone to count my steps. If you have an iPhone, it's the white app with the small red heart on it, that is one of the standard ones. I always keep the phone in my pocket when I walk so the steps are registered. Alternatively there are plenty of other step-counting apps you can get for free.

I know lots of people use watches or other devices, but this works for me. I just need to remember to keep the phone in my pocket, even when I'm just walking around the house, back and fore to the garage etc.

Good luck
