I'm on a bit of a diet at the moment in the run up to my wedding, and I was looking for a free way to monitor what I eat. I'd tried writing it all down in a notebook, but so many things have no nutritional information on them I found I was frequently guessing wildly, which meant I'd make excuses and felt like I was 'dieting', while actually eating a completely normal level of calories! A friend recommended I try www.foodfocus.co.uk about 5 months ago, and I dutifully logged on and checked it out. Its easy to set up a profile (which is completely private), and you input details such as your height, weight, goal weight, ideal loss per week, exercise targets if ...  Read the complete review

As someone who has a huge love of food, and a sedantry life style mainly due to working in an office and hence being sat at a desk all day everyday, I have over the years gradually put on weight and now I really want to do something about it! Now, like most people who have tried to lose weight, I have tried a few different 'fad' type diets which all work to an extent but once you stop doing them, the weight soon returns. The best way to lose weight is through a caloprie controlled diet whereby you eat less calories in a day then your body burns off but it is not always that easy to keep tabs on exactly how many calories you have eaten in a day.
