By Meryl Kaplan Evans Special contributor to The Dallas Morning News Spring is here. It's time to lose unneeded pounds before swimsuit season begins. Diet Power is not only a program to help users lose weight, but it also manages special diets and an exercise log. Begin by creating goals and then entering your daily food intake and exercise. The database includes food, drink and exercise.
Users can manually add unlisted items.
A line graph tracks weight, and a pie chart tracks the carbohydrate, fat and protein ratio of the food you eat. You can go to the calorie bank to calculate the calories budgeted, eaten and burned each day. Also included is the USDA recommended requirements, which can be modified to meet your needs. To accurately track progress requires regularly entering data and that's tedious. Diet Power doesn't have motivation tools to encourage sticking to the diet and the software program.
