Diet Pro Reviewer's Comments
Diet Pro is a simple program designed to track food choices and calorie intake. You'll enjoy the conversational feedback, but may miss features that are standard in higher ranked products.
Diet Pro includes most standard food related features; you can plan meals, create menus, track weight, chart diet progress, create shopping lists, print recipes, and publish cookbooks. It also allows you to export, import and email recipes.
The recipe manager, which contains over 700 recipes, allows you to add new recipes and edit or delete existing ones. You can also create a favorite recipe list for quick access.
You can track your fitness progress by tracking blood pressure, body measurements and heart rate with graphs that display your history.
The Diet Pro program complements the Atkins, Zone, Body for Life, South Beach and all low-carb diets.
The feature we missed in Diet Pro is the exercise log database. Without this tool, determining the relationship between your physical activity and caloric burn rate isn't possible. Other missing features include a weight calculator and body composition tool.
Ease of Use:
Diet Pro is a straightforward program with helpful prompts to accomplish your tasks. Diary-like entries remind you of your goals and contribute a friendly feeling to the program. Unfortunately, Diet Pro does not use automated functions as well as other programs: you'll be doing most of the work yourself. Dieting is hard, your software shouldn't make it harder.
Help/Support:
Diet Pro has indexed help and over 30 online tutorials. The manufacturer also offers "How-Tos," FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and a community forum online.
Summary:
Diet Pro's feedback makes you feel good about your progress. Screens are limited to one piece of information unlike other programs offering a summary view of your program. And, Diet Pro lacks an exercise module, you'll have to be content with a diary devoted to your physical activity. Consider one of TopTenREVIEWS' higher ranked program for better diet support.
