It is a well known fact that tracking food, calories, water intake, and mood is essential to weight loss and increases your chances of keeping the weight off long term. Writing it all down in a diet journal is one of the most common and effective ways to accomplish this but for those who spend lots of time in front of the computer, or those who want extra feedback and a lot of guidance, a software program such as DietPower is the ideal diet tracking tool.

How It Works
Diet Power is a comprehensive weight loss tool that gets you started with a personal profile, ideal weight calculator, goal setting, and diet description of the type of diet you choose to follow. These are the steps that many people skip when starting a weight loss program and that are crucial to success. You need to know where you are and where you're going in order to formulate a plan that's going to work and DietPower gets you started on the right track. After this initial evaluation and goal setting you begin tracking calories in the food log. You simply drag foods from the food dictionary window into your foods eaten this day window and the program automatically begins evaluating calories, fat, carbs, protein, and even vitamins. Deficient in vitamin A? The software can track this and suggest foods that will help you meet your requirements. Not drinking enough water? The program will remind you to drink H2O more often. Diet Power lists 11,000 foods and allows you to add your own foods and recipes for accurate tracking and reporting. So if you eat lots of Lara Bars (like I do) then you can add those to simplify future tracking.

Other Great Feaures
When you set your goal weight to a certain date the program is tracking calories to make sure you reach your goal on time. When you have a bad meal that throws off your calorie intake for the day, Diet Power makes suggetions for the rest of that day's meals to help you get back on track so that you reach your goal in the timeline you set. Looking to gain weight, pregnant, on Atkins, taking diet pills, fast food lover, have hypertension? Diet Power can be customized to any of your needs. Other great feaures include motivational quotes, nutrition facts and tips, electronic calendar and appointment book, and health shop with discounted items.

Pros & Cons
Diet Power is easy to use, informative, and effective but it assumes that the user will be honest and accurate about logging. Does your one cup of pasta equal their one cup of pasta? If you're in denial about portions or often forgetful about bad foods you ate then you may do better with a written journal. The great thing about DietPower is that you can get a 15 day free trial and it also offers a one year money back guarantee. This shows confidence in their product and also that users like it otherwise they wouldn't offer this type of risk free trial.
