Fitness is very trending nowadays. People are very well aware of the need of being fit and in-shape. There is a variety of fitness equipment available in the market and one of them is Fitness tracker. Fitness Tracker is known among the fitness savvy people but people should also know that it also has a dark side, which can adversely affect the health.

According to Android Authority, fitness tracker is one of the best tools for getting into shape. It doesn't mean it will suddenly turn a person out into lean and healthy. But it keeps the person motivated, increase mindfulness and helps him/her to keep track on everything he/she is eating or consuming the whole day.

As a coin has two sides, almost every other thing has pros and cons. Similarly, Fitness trackers have a darker side as well. The fitness tracker is said to be doing good but sometimes it can turn out to be harmful also.

Fitness trackers help a person to keep a track on his/her calories consumption. It encourages them to walk that extra mile and can help them in becoming fit and healthy.

According to The Tech News, Fitness trackers can create eating disorders. Conditions like anorexia and bulimia are caused by the addictive nature of losing weight and looking at the numbers to roll down can make the conditions worse only.

It is always recommended not to accept any type of eating disorders because a perfect diet is also needed for being fit. There is no fitness tracker which gives a 100% accurate numbers.

The data can vary and can create confusions also. Thus while using Fitness trackers, one can keep a self-record of what they have consumed the whole day and all activities they have done.

This can help in individual self-tracking rather than depending wholly on the Tracker. Though using a fitness tracker is not at all wrong and using a Fitbit is not always going to give the person some eating disorders.
