Dieting Software-Key to Weight Loss

By Harry Jonsonap George Johsonap Sally Johsonap William Johnsonap Laurence Johnsonap

Dieting is a multi-billion dollar business. Even most obesity researchers are funded by the diet industry. Dieting is the same thing. Here is the one big difference. Dieting is at an all time low. NPD said recently that just 26% of women are dieting - along with 16% of men.

There's many ways to diet but what is the best dieting approach? One popular approach today is using PC dieting software. One of the most effective dieting programs on the market today is called Diet Power because the program can be used based on any of the popular dieting programs- or not using any og those programs at all.

Diet Power keeps track of your nutrients to help you balance those nutrients to fight such diseases as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, and other ailments.

The way Diet Power works is that it looks at your personal metabolism and tailors your calorie budget to that metabolism. It "watches" your recorded weight over time and provides advice to make sure you reach your target wright on schedule.

The definition of "metabolism" is the amount of calories your body needs in order to maintain your current weight. If you weighed 150 pounds and your metabolism was like an average person, you would would need 2000 calories each day to maintain your weight. Interesting to note however, is that if you are in the bottom range of metabolism, eating 2000 carolires each day to result in you gaining sixty three pounds each year.

Even worse, everyone's metabolism changes often. Metabolism climbs or lowers as you gain or you lose weight, change your diet, take certain prescription drugs, vary your exercise approach, or if you get sick. For women, matabolism changes occur related to your menstrual cycle.

One problem with most dieting software programs is that they assume you have an average metabolism which may or may not be the case. Diet Power, however, does not assume this.
