I never knew how many calories I consumed per day until now. I completely understand why I couldn't lose weight. The software really makes it easy to count the calories I consumed during the day. At the end of the day, I know immediately if I made progress towards my goals. I would recommend this software to someone that wants to lose weight.

I have lost 14 lbs already and I know with this tool I will reach my 35 lbs goal. The software is very easy-to-use, very helpful. After all of the diets I have tried, it comes down to counting calories and the foods you eat. The product is designed exactly for this.

The D&E Assistant not only helped me drop 30 pounds & 4 sizes but I also dropped 32 points off my cholesterol! I thought I had a pretty good diet (I'm a vegetarian) and was always opposed to keeping a food log because I thought it would be too time consuming. Your program was so simple to use and to customize my own food choices. It helps me eat the right number of calories, which I found I wasn't eating enough, and I'm able to balance my carbs, fat and protein so that I'm eating optimally for my exercise routing. The D&E Assistant has "trained" me to have healthy eating habits for the rest of my life. My only suggestion is to be able to add a customize exercise activity to the list. I use the elliptical trainer often and I don't like to have to type it in each time. Thank you for such a great and affordable program. I couldn't have done this without it.

Review from Houston, TX

I lost 30 lbs. in three months using D&E. I bought both the Palm and Desktop versions. D&E allowed me to eat whatever I wanted, as long as my caloric count AND exercise met my goal. The key is that you have to be honest and true to yourself and record EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth. The Palm version allows you to record what you eat as soon as possible or even while you are eating. You can also check on foods before you eat and decide if it is worth eating. I drastically reduced the fat in my diet (oh how I miss fried chicken) and lowered my intake of red meat. Just as important, I walked two miles a day (about 40 minutes) on my treadmill 4-6 times a week. I began using D&E on March 19, 2002. My goal was to lose 35 lbs by my 45th birthday (180 days). I eat between 1500 - 2000 calories per day, limit carbohydrates to less than 500, and fat to less than 50 grams per day. By mid-June, I had gone from 235lb to 210lb, my waist size dropped from 42 to 36, and I can now buy Large instead of XXL shirts. If you are willing to commit to a healthier lifestyle (proper diet, regular exercise), Diet & Exercise Assistant can help you achieve your goal. Besides, you won't stop smiling from all the compliments you get about how good (skinny) you look. BUY IT NOW! It's $20 bucks well spent.

The food database is complete. The product breaks food items into the the USDA food groups based on the food guide pyramid. This is the only product I know of that does this. As you enter the food items you eat you can see if you are getting the USDA recommended amounts. At first I didn't believe this is important, but I now know what the government knows, you need a well balanced meal. If you eat well balanced meals you will lose the weight and reach a fitness level you never though possible. The food database is completely configurable, you can enter a meal or any group of foods as you see fit. I LOST 26 LBS IN 4 MONTHS!
