PC Dieting Software Can Help You Lose Weight

By Bill Jonsonap

Billions are spent in the US on dieting with obesity researchers receiving funding by the diet industry. Even though many Americans are overweight, the shocking truth is that only 26% of women and 16% of men are dieting, according to NPD.

Whats the best way to diet? One approach that is working for many people today is to use PC software to help them diet. Of all the software on the market, one effective program is called Diet Power. Installed on your PC, Diet Power helps you lose weight on any diet"or no diet at all.

Diet Power helps you balance your nutrients against heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, and other nutrition-related ailments.

Diet Power looks at your personal metabolism and then recommends your calorie budget. As your metabolism changes so does the recommended advice from Diet Power.

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.

Interesting to note, which makes matters more complicated, is that your metabolism is not always the same. It fluctuates because of a variety of conditions such as as your weight changes, your diet changes, and you take certain drugs. For women, metabolism is effected by your menstrual cycle.

One problem with most dieting software programs is that they assume you have an average metabolism which may or may not be the case. Diet Power, however, does not assume this. - 16004
