Weight-By-Date Diet Software Review

Weight-By-Date is produced by Quite Healthy Technologies, a division of ProVariant Inc.

It's quite simply a very powerful and easy to use piece of kit that does pretty much everything you could reasonably expect.

It's a complete diet, weight loss, fitness and motivation package that enables you to track your weight, nutritional intake, body measurements and exercise regime in one place.

It certainly ticks most of the boxes for us and is well worth a look if you're in the market for all-in-one diet and exercise software.

Weight-By-Date Diet Software Review - Features and Benefits...

The Weight-by-Date software was designed for Microsoft Windows and can run on any PC that uses this operating system.

The Weight-by-Date Mobile version will run on a PDA and can be synchronised with the PC version if you have both so you can track your progress from anywhere.

However, there isn't a version for Mac users and there are no plans to produce one, which is an option offered with a few competitor products.

Our Weight-By-Date diet software review found the software to be extremely comprehensive and flexible.

We like the weight loss calendar, which makes tracking your progress day to very straightforward.

The food diary is no more difficult to complete than a handwritten diary. Complete it daily and you'll be able to spot where you're going wrong!

We particularly liked the calorie, carb and fat counter, which is helpful in ensuring that you stay within your daily nutritional limits.

The software actually goes further than other packages we've looked at, in that it calculates net carbs and net calories.

In other words, net carbs are the carbs in the food you eat minus the fibre, which your body can't digest.

Net calories are the calories in the food you eat minus the energy required to digest and metabolise them.

Being able to log your workouts is useful, and with over 130 exercises in the database, you'll be able to see how many calories you burn in each workout. Your weight is factored in to make the estimates even more accurate.

There's a database of over 11,000 foods, which is less than some software but more than enough for most people.

Each food has calorie, carb, fat and protein information as well as info for 20 additional nutrients.

One feature we really like is that up to 10 different people can use the software at any one time.

Simply set up a new account on your PC for each user and the whole family can track their progress!

You can print out pretty much everything that you want - the calendar, food diary, and so on - which is a useful feature if you want to share information with your doctor, dietician, personal trainer or counsellor.

There are four interactive user guides that come with the software, so you can experiment with it whilst getting started.

There's also a downloadable user guide in PDF format, which you can print off if you prefer.

The software costs $37 as an immediate download or $47 plus shipping in the CD version.

There's a 30 day money back guarantee as well as a 15 day free trial version so you can try before you buy.

There's 24/7 free tech support by email and 9am-6pm EST telephone support Moday to Friday.

Weight-By-Date Diet Software Review - The Bottom Line...

It's easy to use, flexible, is packed full of features and is difficult to fault at the price.

We've tried diet software that costs nearly twice the price and has half the functionality of Weight-by-Date.

One criticism would be the lack of a Mac version.

This really is a complete package. Whilst some fitness software may have a slight edge when it comes to exercise databases and exercise progress tracking functionality, we see little point in investing in separate packages.

This pretty much does it all for $37.

We would recommend trying the 15 day free trial - you may well discover a better way to track your diet and fitness progress.

Why not give it a try yourself if you've any doubts?

Our Weight-By-Date diet software review verdict? Hugely impressive and impossible to beat at this price - highly recommended!
