User Submitted Vivonic Fitness Planner for Palm Reviews (cont...)Date: 2001-03-03 Acheiving my goals! The Vivonic Fitness Planner is a great tool for counting calories and watching my fat and sugar intake. Before I used the Vivonic Fitness Planner, I thought I was consuming a low fat healthy diet until I saw on a daily and weekly basis that I was doing anything but that! Using the fitness planner, I know exactly how many macro and micro nutirents I am consuming with every meal. The planner has helped me establish diet and exercise goals and I can watch my progress down to the last detail. I highly recommend this fitness planner for the detailed oriented and serious exercise enthusiasts. The exercises listed in the planner are somewhat limited, however, any good and reliable fitness trainer should be able to help you figure out the calories burned on any given exercise. It takes some effort on the users part, but so does proper diet and exercise. On a final note, the technical support staff for the fitness planner has been very helpful. I haven't experienced any difficulties that couldn't be resolved. With available updates on the Vivonic website, this really is a very good and reliable program. I give it 4+ stars. Date: 2001-02-07 Insufficient product for tracking even most basic nutrition I didn't like this product because it doesn't offer strong analysis tools to show the levels of vitamins, carbs, fats, sugars and protein in my diet over time. The lack of analysis capabilities makes it hard to improve your diet because you don't know what you're getting too much or too little of, you just know your total caloric intake. I do recommend another software product called LifeForm (for PC only, not Palm) which is much better for helping you understand the diet and level of excercise you need to maintain to lose weight. I've successfully lost and kept off 10 pounds using LifeForm. Date: 2001-01-22 Doing what I intend to do! I loaded Vivonic on my PDA just after the holidays--and after one more round of promises to myself to manage my nutrition and fitness more carefully. It's been an incredible help!! Instead of carrying around a notebook to keep a food diary, and then looking up the nutritional info--or worse, typing it into my desktop, I can now make a note of everything I eat and drink AND keep useful, up-to-date records of my workouts! I really like being able to access a report on my PDA throughout the day that includes the most important information--total calories, fat, etc. (Makes it easy to decide, for instance, where to eat dinner tonight!) Then later, at my desktop, I can get very complete information about most any vitamin or nutrient. Sure, there are a few foods that aren't in the food list, but not many--and I find the program very easy to use, and easy to add my custom foods to. Vivonic can't force you to stay in shape, but it CAN make it easier to know the truth about what you're doing and eating. A great tool toward personal fitness and wellness.
