Features of Diet Pro:
Editor's Verdict:
The download website is bright and well organized and lays out the benefits of Diet Pro clearly and concisely. Be warned, though: the chart which compares Diet Pro's features to those of some of its main competitors is a little biased, not through distortion, of course, but simply through which facts it chooses to include. It lists only the features Diet Pro has and then lists which rival packages have the same features rather than including features Diet Pro doesn't have and telling you which rival packages do. But then this is a sales site for Diet Pro rather than an impartial arbiter, so you wouldn't really expect an unbiased assessment (that's what you come here for, right?). As with most successful dieting software, Diet Pro's overall strategy centers around calorie budgeting. This means that every day you log exactly what you ate as well as precisely how much exercise you took, what kind and for how long. Diet pro then accesses its databases of foods and exercises and works out which nutrients you are taking in, how many calories you have consumed, how many you have burnt off and what effect all this will have on your weight, blood pressure and BMI. This keeps you informed and in control at every stage of your diet - no longer does dieting simply mean cutting down on pies and chocolate and hoping for the best. Diet Pro also manages the psychological side of surviving a diet very well. The feel of the program and the feedback it gives you is friendly and rewarding (without being patronizing) and the progress charts, summaries and evaluations are pitched just right to keep you feeling motivated and positive even when the temptation to lapse is strongest. This package is particularly good when it comes to talking to you and guiding you through the dieting process in a personable way - the tutorials and FAQ's are particularly good and very thorough. Though every dieting software package good enough to make our top ten list offers broadly similar main features, each also has its own particular strengths, and in the case of Diet Pro these lie in its huge range of healthy recipes and grocery lists. The emphasis here is not just on telling you which nutrients you need and which foods you can find them in, but also on finding endless new interesting and fun meals you can use them in. This program offers thousands of practical recipes that will provide you with hundreds of exciting and nutritious meals so you never get bored from eating the same prescribed health foods day after day, and the temptation to stray is reduced. The software also incorporates a huge reference library of different cooking techniques so there's no excuse for things to get monotonous. There's even room to get creative once you become bold enough to try mixing things up a bit and invent your own recipes. Diet Pro also helps you track your kitchen inventory and organize your stock. All of which makes Diet Pro the ideal dieting tool for gastronomes who love their food just a bit too much. Recipe and meal management aside, Diet Pro also offers all the major tools and features you'd expect to find in a good dieting software package. The various modules that make up Diet Pro 2005 have clearly been well thought-out and carefully designed for ease of use and flexibility. All the tools are also highly customizable. It's possible, for example, to set your dieting target in terms of your blood pressure or waist measurements as well as your actual weight. Diet Pro is also flexible enough that you can use it in conjunction with most of the major commercial diets around, such as the Atkins Diet and The Zone. Also, unlike a lot of dieting programs, the number of user accounts you can set up is not capped, so you can set up profiles for other members of your household without having to buy either another copy or a more expensive multi-user version of the software. Whilst everything the average dieter will want to use on a regular basis is here, Diet Pro doesn't offer quite as wide a range of the more advanced features as some of the other top packages. To be fair, most users probably won't lament the absence of one or two extra widgets and gizmos, but on the other hand, for this price tag you'd have every right to expect the full enchilada. If you want to try out the Diet Pro system there's a free online demo and lots of free sample recipes you can make for yourself. Alternately, you can download a Diet Pro Demo, which can be used ten times before you have to decide whether to buy the full version or not (if you have a slow internet connection or prefer to use CDs you can get this delivered for $3.50 postage and packing). The website also offers lots and lots of online training demos that also function as tutorials for using the program itself, covering virtually every aspect of using the software. A free demo is always a good sign that a company is confident you'll like their software and want to buy the full version; several of the best packages in our top ten offer free trials of some kind but rarely do you see the sheer range of free trial options on display here, so kudos to Diet Pro for that. The full version (the futuristic Diet Pro 2005, no less!) is a bit pricier than a lot of the software packages in the top ten, but what you get for that is a feast of tools, information and ideas which offers more for the dieter who likes to cook than pretty much any other package. Download time is fairly quick and installation no bother at all, unless of course you're an Apple Mac user, in which case you're out of luck - for the time being Diet Pro only runs on Windows Operating Systems. All in all, despite the slightly steep price tag, Diet Pro offers almost everything the general dieter should need to maximize their chances of success. Diet Pro will also have a particularly strong appeal for anyone whose hobby is cooking, in which case you are unlikely to find a dieting software package better suited to your interests than this one.
