Weightmania Diet Software Review

We've read some pretty mixed reviews of Weightmania Pro so thought we'd check it out for ourselves.

Some people love it, others are less sure.

On the face of it, Weightmania Pro, which is one of a number of software products from the Athlete's Database stable, is a versatile, flexible and comprehensive tool.

For us, given the importance of both diet and exercise to successful weight loss, multi-purpose software like Weightmania Pro that is equally strong on both the food and fitness fronts is a must.

So, does Weightmania Pro get the job done?

Weightmania Diet Software Review - Features and Benefits...

There are plenty of them! Whilst not as comprehensive as some software products, our Weightmania diet software review would suggest that you can track everything related to your fitness program, calorie and nutritional intake, measurements...

The latest release has a nice, clean, easy to use interface that seems to work pretty well.

We found Weightmania Pro easy to learn and anyone familiar with diet software shouldn't have too much trouble.

There seem to have been a few niggles in previous versions, such as input and update fields not doing quite as you would expect, but we couldn't find any problems.

The features and various tools worked fine.

The software has all the usual features you would expect, such as an extensive database of over 7,000 different foods, important nutrients, exercises and so on, although there's no recipe management feature.

You can track your calorie intake through the food journal using foods from the database, which is quick and easy, or enter your own meals.

Save your favourite meals once and they're added to the database.

You can personalise the food database and track specific nutrients like protein, carbs, fat, sodium and so on. Particularly useful if you're following a low fat, high protein or low carb diet, for instance.

Weightmania Pro is also compatible with most popular diets.

You can track 17 different measurements, such as weight, body fat, BMI as well as your target heart rate, which is handy for ensuring your workouts are at the right intensity level.

As far as fitness is concerned, there are cardio and strength training sections, which are pretty straightforward to use and track progress.

The cardio section has a database of 16 aerobic exercises and you can add more in if you need to.

The strength training element has over 30 weight training exercises and again you can add in more exercises if they're not there.

You can easily enter the number of reps, sets, the weight used, the frequency of workouts and track progress using a variety of graphs.

The software is a breeze to download and install and the excellent Quick Start Guide and user tips make finding your way around the software, learning the features and so on very straightforward.

Think a few minutes rather than a few hours!

The software is available as an immediate download, although there is a CD option.

Weightmania Pro costs $49.99 and there is a free 30 day trial so you can try before you buy.

Whilst the free trial enables you to find your way around the software, you can't save data in the food or exercise journals.

There's e-mail technical support available, should you need it.

Weightmania Pro runs on Windows only.

Weightmania Diet Software Review - The Bottom Line...

It gives the average user everything that they would need to manage and track their diet and exercise regime.

Granted, it's more basic than some other similarly priced diet and fitness software, but we would suggest that that translates into ease of use.

I sometimes wonder how many of the features on some diet software people actually use!

Our Weightmania diet software review found all the necessary tools - meal planning, food and exercise databases, tracking and analysis tools and so on.

If you would like more information on Weightmania Pro or fancy a free trial, then check out the Weightmania Pro website.
