DietPower Software
DietPower is a software program that allows users to track all of the various
information necessary to begin and sustain an effective weight loss program. It is not tied to any specific
diet, but can be used to track the food requirements of any diet. In addition to tracking calories and
exercise, the software tracks the user's intake of 33 different nutrients and lets the user know if they are
over or under the required amounts. The software was developed byTerry Dunkle, a journalist, inventor, and
internet pioneer who started the venture in response to his own weight and nutrition problems. The program is
marketed as "a Real-Time Eating Coach that:
- guarantees reaching a goal weight on a target date, and
- shows which of your favorite foods are best to eat

| "I love this program! I have also used FitDay which is a very good program, but not as
good as Diet Power. Diet Power has the Water Minder and Nutrition Quotient which are great! The
Diet Power website also has some great help files, but I didn't need very many because the program
is pretty self-explanatory... I have lost almost 40 pounds in 6 months." user comment on amazon.com |
| "I have been using Diet Power on and off for the last 3 years. The first time I used
it I dropped 50 pounds in about 6 months but it was NOT EASY....Truth be told, I gained it all back
because I stopped using Diet Power and got into old habits. I am now working on losing it again,
and am down 15 pounds over three weeks... Its not a miracle. Its not a gimmick. Diet Power works.

| "Out of all the programs I have tried, it was the easiest to start using. They have
easy to follow videos on their website to help you get started. I also liked that it tells you when
you are low or high in a certain nutrient (compared to the RDA). If you want software to track your
calorie and nutrient intake and suggest your daily calorie budget, I think this would work really
well." user comment on amazon.com |
| "I use DietPower to track my .calories and macronutrient percentages. DietPower then
rates your food intake on a scale of 1-130. Yesterday, it didn't give me a grade, it said "GENIUS"
because I hit my exact calorie target and had a perfect breakdown between Carbs, Protein and Fats
for my diet (BFFM). 45% Carb 30% Protein 25% Fat!!" user comment on lowcarbfriends.com |
| "If you have reached the point where you are serious, where you have determination and
conviction, to follow any diet program... then Diet Power is the very best I have found. I find
that when I use it regularly as a powerful guide to keep me on track and focused, it works like
nothing else. The nutrients / vitamins / minerals tracking is wonderful. Talk about help to get on
and stay on a WELL BALANCED diet! This part of the program alone is a powerful tool."

| "A calorie counter that does well with recipes is DietPower. You do have to pay for
the program but it has a 15 day trial first. I loooooove DietPower because it tracks all of your
nutrients. Not just calories/fat." user comment on

| "I've tried and tested more diet software packages and websites than I can count or
remember. DietPower is the simplest, most straightforward, and most comprehensive of all the ones
I've tried. I can tell it was written by a real dieter who cared about ease of use for himself."

| Editor's note: The DietPower software doesn't convert food values to points, so it is
not easy to use if following a Weight Watchers diet, but it appears to work well with all other
calorie-based food plans. Some users weren't sure how to use the software, but most users found the
tutorials on the DietPower website to be very helpful. Many users enjoy the software for
nutritional tracking, as well as weight loss tracking. |
