Product Overview

The Diet & Exercise Assistant product line is committed to providing easy-to-use software tools that help you manage your daily nutrition, exercise, and health. Our personal healthcare products help you achieve your fitness and weight loss goals.

With Diet & Exercise Assistant Desktop you can:

Extend the functionality of the popular handheld version. Diet & Exercise Assistant Desktop is designed for the power and convenience of desktop computing. The user interface is creatively designed for maximizing ease-of-use, power, and flexibility.
HotSync® and ActiveSync® conduits are available, one for Palm OS® and the other for Pocket PC 2002/2003® platforms. After installing the handheld and desktop products, data from the handheld is automatically kept in sync with the data on your PC. The synchronization conduits are configurable, offering the following options: mirror synchronization (default), handheld overwrites desktop, desktop overwrites handheld, or do nothing.
The desktop version supports multiple users with or without a handheld device. Gather data for all users with a simple HotSync® operation.
Accessing and editing the food database has never been easier. The new food database editor offers power, flexibility, and maximum ease-of-use. Insert, edit, and delete food items faster than ever before. Create your own food database entries and export them to a CSV (comma separated values) file. Share the files with friends or family members who can then import the food database information.
Use your internet connection to obtain new food database extensions. We are always upgrading our food database, now over 8,000 items with extensions. Simply select a menu item to automatically update your food database to the latest version.
Export your user data to CSV (comma separated values) file. Import this file into Excel for further charting and analysis.
Print data from the Food Log, Exercise Log, Daily Journal, Summary Table, and Historic Weight chart.
