I don't work for Diet Power, although it's going to sound like I do. I'm not profiting from what I'm writing here.

Does anyone else have this? I'm on Week 2 of a two-week free trial of Diet Power (http://www.dietpower.com/). Should I decide to buy it, the software costs $49.99.

So far, so great. I am very nutrition-conscious due to a lifelong battle with the scale and a husband who works in public health. I thought I had healthy eating down cold, ya know?

Oops. Have I learned things that are helping me! Like: I need to work hard at taking in more water and a pb&j sandwich on ww is far healthier than a Kashi frozen meal with all its whole grains (and sat fats!).

There are features galore to help you visualize and really understand how everything you eat and drink affects you. It's wild.

Interesting. I see it's got an endorsement from Runner's World magazine.

What kind of structure does it have? Do you count calories, fat grams, etc.? I suppose I should download the trial to see how it works. I've been thinking that I should stop throwing my money at WW online...

If you know the basics of good nutition (which you do and more), this program is worlds beyond online WW because it is completely individualized. The basic count is calories but fats, nutrients, liquid intake and activity also count. You receive a letter grade A-F as a quick guide - sounds dorky but it's a system all of us easily understand. There are other charts and graphs.

You can quickly input nutritional info from the side of a food package by typing only the numbers. You can input info from a recipe. You can eat 3/4 of a banana, etc., etc. Pretty much whatever you can do food-wise has been thought of and accomodated for.

Are you still using this? How did you like it over the whole trial period?

Yes! I ended up buying it (big surprise) and I do use it every single day.
