Fitness Assistant delivers targeted weight loss to dieters from more than 30 countries worldwide

(I-Newswire) March 30, 2005 - Frustrated dieters have finally been able to lose weight and keep it off with X3MSoftware's Fitness Assistant - a state-of-the-art calorie monitoring software. "There is only one way to lose weight - eat less calories than you burn. The major problem is that there are thousands of ways to miscalculate your calorie intake and output", says leading developer Hristo Hristov. "Dieters underreport their food intake and grossly overestimate the number of calories then burn" continues Hristo Hristov.

According to the American Society of Nutritional Sciences: "Underreporting of dietary intake has been observed consistently in food consumption surveys in affluent societies and in clinical studies in a variety of settings. Almost one third of quantitative 24-h recalls provided by adults in U.S. surveys appear to result in estimates that are biologically implausible. Underreporting has been linked to obesity in both the U.S. and Europe, with heavier individuals underreporting to a greater degree than lean persons."

Fitness Assistant's smart calorie feedback system makes it possible to lose weight even when dieters misreport their calorie intake or output. The program actively compares how a dieter's weight responds to the calorie plan and makes the necessary corrections in real time. "Set your target weight. Set the target date. Log the foods you eat every day and log bodyweight once a week. Follow the calorie recommendations and you will succeed.", says Hristo Hristov.

"I love the way the program 'predicts' your weight the next day and how it learns your metabolism. This adds a level of expectation and it is a joy to discover that your body works like a finely tuned clock; if you do the right thing - it responds in an expected manner" said Wynand McDonald, a happy customer.

Fifty years old research by Jean Mayer and coworkers reveals that people who perform a threshold amount of daily physical activity are very well protected against weight gain. Being in the Active Zone is easy with Fitness Assistant because the program will show dieters how much they need to up their daily calorie expenditure in order to protect themselves from weight gain.
