Editor's Verdict:

DietPower® is our number one choice in our diet software category because it gives you more power to take control of your dietary regime than any other diet software we've reviewed. You can tell this is a system that works because it's been running since 1992 (with regular free updates), offering a degree of personalization and customization which is superior to pretty much any other diet software package on the net.

This personalization is the key to both the reason why Diet Power is our number one choice and why Diet Power is so successful in helping all sorts of different people of different shapes, sizes and ages to eat better and live longer as a result. Because every body is different and different diets work well for different people, the Diet Power software tailors itself to the unique metabolism and dietary needs of each individual user.

The software itself is well designed and incredibly easy to use. The website even offers you a 14 minute demonstration video tour that explains all the buttons to you clearly and in a useful amount of detail. The layout of the screen will be familiar to anyone who's used windows programs before, following the usual tool bar and menu bar configuration (including a useful help function) and doesn't sacrifice depth and detail for usability, or vice versa.

So confident are DietPower.com in their software that they guarantee that you will reach your goal weight and in doing so lower your risks of succumbing to heart disease, stroke, cancer or whatever illness your particular physiology and genotype would otherwise leave you vulnerable to. This is a bold claim and is backed up by a full money-back guarantee, which you can claim up to a year after purchasing the software. So confident are they that you'll be impressed with Diet Power that there's even a free 15-day trial of the full Diet Power software, allowing you to try before you buy.

The guarantee obviously comes with the proviso that you have to follow the program's advice and log your meals and activities honestly for it to work. That said, it does have some smart heuristics for filling in gaps in your logged data based on past behavior. Plus, somewhat more unsettlingly, it gets to know whether you tend to under or overestimate your calorie intake or portion sizes and compensates for that too. Essentially, it knows when you're lying. How spooky is that?

This degree of personalization is based on the software learning your habits and patterns and metabolic characteristics as you use it until eventually it literally knows you better than you know yourself (gastrically speaking anyway). It knows how many calories you will need, whether the weight gain you log is only temporary due to water retention or menstruation and compensates accordingly, continually adjusting your personal “calorie budget” to keep you on course for your chosen target weight.

The “calorie budget” metaphor is central to how – and why – Diet Power works. It is based on everything you tell the program about yourself and continuously refined by everything it learns about your changing weight and stats as you go along, so, for example, if you exercise enough to burn a significant amount of calories, your calorie budget increases and you can afford to eat a little more. As with any budget, the key to success is keeping track of your incomings and outgoings and learning to balance the two, both on a week by week basis and in the longer term. Essentially, Diet Power is a highly evolved and sensitive tool to help you manage your calorie budget and stay out of the red.

Although Diet Power is mainly concerned with helping you attain a healthier body through better nutrition, it also provides a lot of information about exercises which you can build into your daily routine. Many software packages focus almost exclusively on the dieting side of things, even though regular exercise is also important if you want to lose those pounds and keep them lost. Diet power includes a database of over 1000 exercises, some of which are bound to be suited to your particular preferences and lifestyle. Exercise logging is also an essential part of the Diet Power experience and includes a really flexible system for taking into account the intensity and duration of different kinds of exercises so that your calorie budget can be accurately amended. Everyone knows that regular cardiovascular exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle - Diet Power gives you the know-how you need to exercise smart as well as (or instead of) hard.

Diet Power is the only diet software on the market that continually shows you which of your favorite foods will most improve your nutrition if eaten next. This is what the NQ+- (Nutrition Quotient) column and the color-coding in DietPower's Food Log are all about. In fact, if you click the Recent radio button at the top of the Log, then click the NQ+- button, it will rank all foods that you’ve recently logged (and therefore likely to have on hand) in order of their effect on your NQ. This is a good technique to see what you should eat next to drive your Nutrition Quotient higher.

Diet Power styles itself as a “Weight Loss Coach” because it aspires to offer you a degree of personalization approaching that which you would receive from a real live human coach who is intimately familiar with your dietary habits and needs and focused solely on helping you lose weight and eat more healthily. Obviously nothing can compare with the motivation and extra accountability offered by an actual human being who holds you responsible for your dietary behavior and progress. Even so, whilst a human being might better be able to appreciate your particular motivational psychology, there's no way he/she could understand how your unique metabolism works as well as Diet Power could.

This automisation of a service that would cost an arm and a leg if you paid a live trainer to do it is also the key to the software's affordability. These days you can get tremendously good value if you download diet software from the internet because it is possible for software manufacturers such as DietPower.com to offer you a great package for very little money. This is because there's a huge market for weight loss software and the internet is the biggest marketplace in the world. This means that in the virtual marketplace you don't always need to pay top dollar for top quality – all you need to do is shop around a little (and read our reviews of course!)

In addition, whilst Diet Power is capable of helping you build the perfect healthy eating regime for you all by itself, it is also compatible with dozens of existing diets that you may wish to follow or are already following, including the Aktins diet, Weight Watchers programs and Metabolife. Whilst none of these third party programs are necessary for Diet Power to work its magic, it can nonetheless help you get the most out of whatever diet program you're interested in.

Technical support is also reported to be excellent. In the unlikely event that the help program included in the package doesn't sort you out you can contact DietPower.com by email or phone for prompt, helpful, courteous and well-informed guidance at almost any time. This is symptomatic of the ethos that pervades the Diet Power website of making customer service a priority.

All in all, there are some terrific value and highly sophisticated diet software packages you can download these days and Diet Power is, in our estimation, the very best of them. In summary, Diet Power is our number one choice because it offers:

  • An unmatched degree of personalization to suit your lifestyle, your needs and your metabolism
  • A clever “calorie budget” system which lets you take control of your diet
  • A huge database of foods and their nutritional qualities
  • Information on exercises and the calories they save you
  • An easy logging system to constantly update your calorie budget and keep you on track
  • Graphs and charts to make your progress and goals more tangible
  • 100% guarantee that you will reach your target weight on schedule

So why not download the latest version of Diet Power, or even the free trial package - with their money-back guarantee you literally can't lose anything but weight!
