Calorie Counter with a Difference
Now You Can Track Calories Out
as Well as Calories In.
|
No matter what diet you're on,
the only way to lose weight is to burn calories faster than you
eat. Some diets (and all exercise) raise your burn rate;
others curb your appetite; others do both. But all
diets must obey the First Rule of Weight Loss: "Eat
fewer calories than you burn." Our calorie counter knows this. |
 |
Equally simple is the
Second Rule of Weight Loss: "To keep pounds off, lose them
slowly." For reasons that aren't yet clearly
understood, a rapidly slimmed body tries to restore its
former weight, usually by making you hungry and slowing your calorie
burn rate. Drop 15 pounds in July and you'll probably regain it in
August. But if you maintain a slight calorie deficit --
say, 200 calories a day -- you'll shed about two pounds a month and
your body won't complain. Our calorie counter knows this, too.
Two
hundred calories isn't much -- the equivalent of two slices of bread
with butter or a glass and a half of soda.
And that's part of the reason
you'll do better in any diet if you're equipped with our
state-of-the-art calorie counter.
The Trouble with Most Calorie
Counters
You can
count calories by hand, of course. Just look on the label or
in a calorie book, factor for the amount you ate, and add the
results to your tally. Or if you hate doing math, put a
calorie-counter program on your computer to do it for you.
Counting
calories tells you nothing, however, unless you also know your
metabolic rate -- the number of calories needed to maintain your
current weight. Without knowing that magic number, you can't
calculate the number needed to reach your goal on your target date.
Almost every calorie counter we've seen (except our own) will
estimate your metabolic rate from your current size, age, and
sex. But the estimate assumes that your metabolic rate is
average, when in fact it may differ by 20 to 30 percent. Even
if it's only 10 percent off the norm, a diet based on this logic
could lead you to gain 20 pounds a year.
Similarly, most calorie counters take a one-size-fits-all approach
to tracking calories burned in exercise -- yet the number of
calories you burn in any activity varies tremendously with your
speed, technique, and body weight.
Our Award-Winning Solution
DietPower's
personal calorie counter and
nutrient tracker
solves these problems by monitoring your true metabolic rate
as you log your foods, weight, and exercise each day. Thanks
to our proprietary Calorie Feedback™ technology, the program "knows"
how many calories you need today to maintain your weight -- and how
many you should eat to move one day closer to your goal. It
guarantees that if you faithfully log your meals and exercise and
stick to your calorie budget, you will reach your goal on
schedule. (No other software does this.)
