You can lose weight with computer software

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.

What does "metabolism" mean? Metabolism refers to the number of calories needed by your body to maintain your current weight. For example, for an average weight individual this could be approximately 2000 calories each day. However, your metabolism can vary as much as thirty percent from average metabolism. For example, if you are in the lower end of the metabolism range, eating the 2000 calories could make you gain alot- sixty three pounds a year.

To make matters worse, everyones metabolism fluctuates. It rises or falls as you gain or lose weight, alter your diet, take certain drugs, change your exercise routine, or catch a cold or the flu. If youre a woman, your metabolism may also ebb and flow with your menstrual cycle.

Despite all the metabolism changes, most dieting software assumes you have an average metabolism, except Diet Power software. - 16003
