Hi, Lisa
Sorry it took a while to reply. The program offers low calorie and low carb diets. I chose a two week low calorie diet and each day I got a new menu to follow. After each meal, I entered what I ate into the calculator; actually I chose the aliments from the database and the phone told me how many calories I ate and how many I had left for the day. I am quite happy with the menus, as I found them to be well balanced (I got to eat meat, vegetables, cereals, fruits and it didn't feel like I was starving). You get to eat five times a day, but you can also add to the menus indicated in the program other foods. The calorie level in the menus allowed me to add an extra snack. I even got snack suggestions for the situations in which "I had to have an extra snack". Also, you don't have to follow the menus exactly as they are. You can choose to follow your own menu or replace what you want in the menus suggested by the phone, and the calculator will count the calories for your choice of foods. You would still know how much you've eaten and how much you've got left. Honestly, I belive this is a great help for anyone who wants to lose weight and is willing to make the effort. It's like a monitoring device that you can take with you anywhere you go. It's a big step forward in my opinion. I intend to go on the low carb diet as well, as I've never been on one before and now I can compare the results. I promise to share with you my experience. For those of you who are intested, you can search for it at this address:
