The Nutriinfo program was very useful since it pointed out surprising caloric and fat contents in foods. It was great to be able to store my personal food directory in there so that I could just click on a specific food or drink for logging. I am focusing on better eating habits and making small healthy changes each day. I've lost 4 inches around my waist in 4 months.
A live coach responded quickly to my numerous nutrition questions, and also reinforced me to sustain my efforts. I enjoyed having real human interaction with our group coach more than receiving computer-generated messages. The nutrition coach at Nutriinfo and my personal trainer are turning my life around!

My weight loss plan started with changing my eating habits - I dropped all fat, bread, dairy, salt and sugar from my diet. I ate 5 meals or snacks a day with a scheduled combination of certain proteins, carbohydrates and fruits that fit my type of metabolism. I ate all fresh produce and meats - no processed pasta or pre-made meals. I drank 8-10 (8 oz portions) of water every day. The Nutriinfo program provided all tools and resources that I needed. I also received great feedback and support from the nutritionists at Nutriinfo.com, which helped me stay accountable and motivated.
I have lost more than 30 lbs since I used the Nutriinfo program in Nov. 2010. I am down two dress sizes and even my wide shoes are feeling too big! My journey is not complete, but already I have stopped using all reflux and antacid medicines; have not needed my inhaler and stopped having sleep issues. My first goal is to reach 150 lbs; I may decide that I need to lose more. My biggest goal is to be healthy, have more energy, and to know that I am finally learning how to take care of myself! I am halfway there and enjoying the results every day! I had so many reasons and excuses that kept me from getting here sooner, but I know that this was the right decision and I plan to make it a lifelong commitment. Thank you very much, Nutriinfo!

I started using the Nutriinfo program in November 2009 after I found out problems with my blood sugar and blood pressure levels. I have now lost more than 40 lbs and reduced more than 25 inches between my waist and hips. I found comfort logging my weight loss progress and food intake on the program. Since I was doing this journey alone, it helped me have a place for guidance and support.
It has become a part of my routine to log in to the program and keep track of my progress. Using the food log made me realize how much more I was eating than I thought. I started to make changes in food selections and portions. I have also started taking aerobics and Pilates classes to keep me motivated. My friends have now joined in as well after seeing the changes.
I feel great by losing weight. I now wear clothes 2 sizes down! More importantly, my blood sugar level went from pre-diabetic to the normal range and my blood pressure is close to normal (still working on it). I don't need any medication for these illnesses and my energy level has increased. My doctor is happy with my progress! My long term goals are to lose another 100 lbs and get to my comfort weight. My journey is far from over, but I'm in it for the long run by developing healthy lifestyles. I hope you are too.

I lost 40 pounds in three months using the Nutriinfo Program and I feel more energized and great. I found that this program helped me focus on more than just weight loss. It helped me think about my daily caloric intake and other activities that I could do for exercises.
My dietician could monitor me and provide me with weekly feedback. The program also provided me with regular helpful feedback. Also, if I had questions or even if I had suggestions on how to make the program more user-friendly the support staff was always ready to respond. | |
I am 50 years old and not a computer person, but I found it very user-friendly. There are so many wonder aspects and features to this fine program. I believe anyone using this program will find something they will connect with to encourage them in living a healthier life. Try It! - Live It! - and Love It!

I have found that Nutriinfo is an excellent vehicle for my program with my dietitian. In the past I have tried to keep hand-written "food diaries" (which haven't worked) and gone to Weight Watchers programs (which haven't really worked and are not particularly enjoyable). What makes Nutriinfo program extremely "easy" and workable for me is that I may complete my information for the preceding day early in the morning when I prepare my computerized "To-Do-List" for the day's business and social activities.
What "works" best is that my dietitian can track what I am eating, my exercise levels, and my blood glucose readings on a "Real-Time" basis. In addition -- when I have questions, I can send her note and she provides quick answers to my questions. Further, when my dietitian and I meet (which is usually every two weeks), she usually review data with me and spends quality of time on counseling, not wasting time on assessing and analyzing my logged data. Finally, for the first time in my life, I have a sense of the caloric value of different food and drink items, daily caloric budgeting, and the real meaning of "food trade-offs" and "portion size".
In brief -- I am very pleased with the Nutriinfo program especially when I'm working with my dietitian. I would recommend Nutriinfo to anyone and everyone!

I have recommended Nutriinfo to several friends and family members because I have been so pleased with the progress I have made using the program. Initially I set my goals modestly. I wanted to lose ten pounds and improve my overall health with exercise. I have lost 15-20 pounds and I exercise approximately five days a week (most weeks). In the past I had heard that it is difficult to lose smaller amounts of weight so I expected it to take a long time.
I love the Nutriinfo program - it has not been all that difficult for me. I found the program easy to use and received prompt solutions to any problems I encountered. The support and encouragement I have received from the dietitian, trainers, and even the president have been remarkable. I thank you and my employer for giving me this opportunity. I feel enthusiastic about being healthier and hope to keep on with the program for life. Thank you for all you've done for me. You guys are great!

I want to thank Nutriinfo and my employer for the opportunity to use the program. I have found the program very easy to navigate and very user friendly. I have a tendency not to want to read through lengthy instructions and have found your program very intuitive for a person with a moderate amount computer knowledge.
I realize that your program is a great tool to make me aware of my food habits and will take this next week to commit to tracking my intake, good, bad or indifferent. I have used the Weight Watchers on line program in the past but did not find it as easy to navigate as the Nutriinfo program. I find the email feedback of your program very encouraging and the ability to win prizes as added incentives. I am now using my pedometer at work and trying to develop healthy lifestyles. Thanks again for your wonderful product.

I really like the idea of having all my clients in one secure area for me and my staff. I'll share the reasons why I selected Nutriinfo.com.
-
Going paperless is critical in today's business and I find the web portal gives lots of value added features to our weight management program that also keeps my administrative time and costs down.
- The clients like it also because it is as private as they want to make it and it keeps all the communication between client/staff in the client's own record. Online coaching can be done here as well.
- From a visual perspective, the pie charts of food analysis are what I hear my clients comment on the most and their food choices are definitely impacted when they are working towards certain nutrition goals.
- The journaling is also a great feature that many of my emotional eaters tend to use to help them relook at their thoughts and behavior.
- Group sharing is possible for clients and can be a great support system between sessions. Reminds me of FaceBook in a way.
- There is charting for staff in the same area as advice for the client but the client cannot see the note.
- The organization of looking at the data and collecting data is done at the touch of a button is easy.
I have enjoyed prompt support of the Nutriinfo customer support team. They responded very quickcly, within a few hours, to any questions that I had. I'm very happy with the Nutriinfo program and services, and would like to recommend it to other fellow dietitians and health coaches!

Among the online weight management programs I have evaluated, Nutriinfo ranks high as a smart solution for health professionals who want to efficiently monitor their clients' diet progress and effectively communicate with them. This program also appeals to individual users, because the online tracking system is very simple and convenient, and provides the users with opportunities to understand their progress and choices. While they are working with their dietitian or health coach, they can learn about their barriers and pinpoint solutions.
As an active member of weight management group of American Dietetic Association, I've been recommending the Nutriinfo program to fellow dietitians through my presentations. I strongly believe that dietitians and other health professionals can take advantage of the program for value-added weight management and wellness counseling programs at their private pratices or organizations. |

The program provided me with tools that I could manage our employees in an efficient way. I could easily measure the results through the admin page and helped run events. We provided prizes based on individuals' weight loss efforts or their physical activities. It was a great way of engaging our employees. We have heard excellent feedback from employees in the Nutriinfo program. People are enjoying the program and things are going really well with them. Thank you very much for your support.
