"Puts Me in Control"
Thanks for creating a diet program that puts me in control! I lost 30 pounds in four months (on my target date exactly), and have been on the maintenance program for three months. I am able to eat the things I really want without gaining weight, because now I make educated choices. DietPower makes me totally accountable. I love it!
R.B.; Raleigh, N.C.

Patients Are Pleased
I have found great success with DietPower, both personally and for my patients. Many of my postpartum patients (I'm an obstetrician/gynecologist) are particularly pleased with your allowances for lactating women. Keep up the good work!

Offers Privacy
I am thrilled to say that in six months I have lost 37 pounds and my body fat has dropped to 23.7%. Your program allows me the freedom to eat what I like and to be responsible to myself. No more weighing in front of a Skinny Minnie who has never experienced the feeling of frustration and lack of control from being overweight. No pills, no gimmicks, no worries about how my body will feel tomorrow. THANK YOU, DietPower; I'm on my way to a brighter, healthier lifestyle with your help.

Surprisingly Fast
I've used DietPower for over 100 days. At first I thought logging my meals would be time-consuming -- but it isn't. The program's feedback has helped me lose weight and understand what I am really eating. I recommend it for anyone who wants to manage his diet and exercise.

"Answer to Prayer"
In my first month of faithfully using DietPower, I have lost 10.5 pounds and 6.75 inches. Before DietPower, I struggled for months to lose even 5 pounds! I am so happy, I'm in tears as I write this. Your program is an answer to prayer.

"Great Motivator"
I rated DietPower a "10" on your marketing survey and would have given it even more if allowed. I can't say enough how pleased I am with this program. For the first time in my life, I am gaining REAL control over my diet and exercise. A great motivator!!!

"Easily Lost 30 Pounds"
DietPower is absolutely, undeniably the BEST EVER weight-control program! I began using it in March and EASILY lost 30 pounds by June. I still log everything I put into my mouth, add my own foods as needed with great ease, weigh myself almost every day, and tell EVERYONE who asks how I've done it about DietPower! I've also become surprisingly good at "guesstimating" weights and measures, from my experience with your excellent food scale. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for helping me finally gain control over my weight.

"Cannot Fail"
The Calorie Feedback™ technology is wonderful -- if you track your food and exercise, you cannot fail. Thanks for a great program!
Dan Rosenthal; Los Altos, Calif.

"Help Is Truly Helpful"
I have been impressed with DietPower's documentation. The explanations -- both the short and the long versions -- are well written. The help screens, unlike those in many software packages, are truly helpful.

No Sweat
I've lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks, and it hasn't been hard at all!

"Amazing Achievement"
When we married, 49 years ago, my wife, Rita, weighed 150 pounds and was 5 feet 4. Over the next two decades, she was sometimes able to get into the low 140s -- but only by going on a diet of 600 calories a day. Then an endocrinologist here in Israel told her she suffered from idiopathic edema -- her body held water, and they didn't know why. The doctor prescribed diuretics and told her to control her intake of salt, because the sodium was causing her cells to retain water. When she started using DietPower, she watched not only the calories (she decided on an intake of 1100-1200 a day) but sodium, too, which she limited to 1500-2000 milligrams per day. With that and a program of walking, swimming, and aerobics, she reached 133 pounds -- her lowest in 35 years. Today, a year later, her weight varies between 133.5 and 135.3. This is an amazing achievement for someone who tried every diet in the book for 40 years. As Rita says, "It's so nice when you stop hitting your head against the wall. Now, my daughter, Sandy, and her daughter and a friend are all using DietPower -- also with good results. Thank you so very much for providing an opportunity to get things right!

"No Other Program Made a Dent"
Using your program, I have lost more than 70 pounds over the past year. DietPower has worked where no other program, system, or fad diet made a dent. And I feel much healthier. Your system is incredible. Thanks a bunch!

Hands-Down Winner
I have tried four diet programs, and yours is the most comprehensive and user-friendly. The help is among the very best I've seen in ANY computer program. One of DietPower's biggest advantages is the feature that zeroes in on your metabolic rate. Other programs just assign you an assumed average, but since that's a major factor in how many calories you have to consume to reach your target, an arbitrary number renders the other programs (at least for diet planning) useless. Thanks for designing a great program!

Discovered a Calcium Shortage
I thought I was eating healthy, but after I started using DietPower I discovered that I could do a lot better. For instance: I found I wasn't eating enough calories. I'm not fat and don't care to lose weight, but I was eating under 1200 calories per day without realizing it! I thought I was getting enough calcium. WRONG! I was getting only 50% of my daily requirement. I've since purchased a calcium supplement. I learned that my folate and B12 supplements were unnecessary -- I was already getting enough from my food. My fat intake on my first day was 32%! Now it is around 20%. So now I can FINALLY balance my diet. This program is tremendous. I've started a wave at our office. If you need a sales rep, let me know!

"Happy for My Wife"
This DietPower program is very good! My wife is having much better control over her weight. I see her very excited about the whole concept. I see her more relaxed and happy. Hee-hee! Well, I never said anything about her weight...I love her always! But I am happy for her, and I thank you!

"Best $50 I Ever Spent"
DietPower is the best 50 bucks I ever spent! Many thanks, and a very happy and prosperous new year!

Competitive Edge
DietPower has been a fantastic tool for my training for the Boston-to-New York AIDS Bicycle Ride. All of my friends are commenting on how much weight I've dropped (15 pounds so far). Even better, my riding buddies are finding it harder to drop me on hills. I can't wait to lose the next 7 pounds and start dropping them on climbs. I've been recommending your software to all my friends. Thanks again for the super product.

Works With Weight Watchers
Have a very happy and healthy new year. I still love my DietPower!! And if anyone wants to know, I've lost 40 pounds using it with Weight Watchers 123!

"Incredibly Motivating"
I've already lost 11 pounds (with another 10 to go), and I've sent your link to two of my relatives who are also impressed. One of them has also dropped a little over ten pounds thanks to DietPower. The greatest aspect of your program is the chart that tracks my progress. The visual feedback is incredibly motivating. And the wonderful ability to easily enter each day's foods while totaling their nutrients is very helpful.
