Diet Simple is software that educates and guides you through the stages of weight loss. It contains many useful and fun features to help you stay motivated in your weight-loss journey.Editor's review of Diet Simple This software aims to motivate you to win the battle of the bulge, but the lack of standard conveniences will leave you hungry for more.Diet Simple's interface occupies your entire screen. From there, you can input such information as your gender, weight, height, and activity level. Using that information, the program calculates the amount of calories needed in order for you to lose weight. Diet Simple logs what you eat and sums up the calories that you've consumed. As you reach your limit for the day, a green button on the left side of the screen turns to yellow. Logging food items is an easy task, but you're on your own in determining the amount of energy each food contains.You can launch the publisher's site straight from the interface and create and print progress reports. We were disappointed to find that the program doesn't offer a food database, an exercise logger, or a meal planner--features that are fairly common for this type of program. Diet Simple is easy enough for anyone to use, but weight-conscious users will probably want a more comprehensive weight-loss planner.

Version 14.4 converts the food field to be case-insensitive and is a bug fixing release.Editor's review of Kathleen's Diet Planner Kathleen's Diet Planner includes nearly every tool to help you monitor your overall health and nutrition, but little has been done to soften the look of this database-driven application. The initial interface is crowded, as are many of the windows for the various features, and it isn't clear how to get started. The publisher's Web site does contain 20 videos that walk you through literally each step of using the program, and the help file is exhaustive.Kathleen's Diet Planner can track and chart a number of diet- and health-related details, including weight, blood pressure, measurements, and cholesterol. It has an impressive 40,000-plus food database, and comes with a shopping-list organizer to help you stay on track when you head to the grocery.

Health-Docs stores the medical history of up to 8 family members. The program is divided into two main areas:- Medical ID: basic information about each family member (age, sex, blood type, chronic conditions, major hospitalizations, family history)- Medical History: a chronology of medical events (doctor's visits, tests, hospitalizations, immunizations, and notes).Editor's review of Health-Docs This application lets you easily store medical records for each family member, but it lacks some simple health-care tracking options.Health-Docs' interface is neatly organized, and while it may not win any design awards, it's very easy to use. You'll need to provide the name, birth date, and medical history for each person you want to track (up to eight). Health-Docs is preloaded with drugs, medical tests, illness information, and other health-related options, but you'll have the option of easily adding your own. You can get a clear snapshot of each person's medical history, and print summary reports. There's a backup and restore option to safeguard your data, but the program doesn't have password protection or any other security measure to prevent unauthorized access.Unlike similar apps in this category, Health-Docs doesn't generate growth and weight charts, and it doesn't let you track basic health indicators like blood pressure, blood glucose, or cholesterol readings. Health-Docs gets points for its ease of use, and even though it may not cover every base, it's a decent choice for maintaining medical histories for the entire family.

Ease of use and a nice set of features make this a good choice for anyone in need of a text-to-speech application.

HealthFrame Lite is a tool to let you view electronic medical records, and access a host of reports. HealthFrame Lite supports the HealthFrame OpenHealth Services plug-ins, so that it can easily access a wide variety of Web services. Version 2.1.6 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.Editor's review of HealthFrame Lite HealthFrame Lite places more emphasis on its 'lite' side rather than actually keeping track of medical records. HealthFrame Lite's well-designed, skinnable interface lets you browse through its printable templates for healthcare providers, immunizations, medications, and medical history. Pages to log your expenses--such as copayments and equipment--are given, as are graphs to track blood glucose, lipids, and pressure. A printable emergency card with blank slots for a photo and pertinent information are shown, but you'll have to upload medical records to the program to use this feature (and everything else, for that matter). Although customization options are shown, actual entries aren't allowed. The only form we're able to make changes to is the emergency card, and that's just to create new entry lines, not to input personal data. The choice to input your own data would have been nice. Instead, HealthFrame Lite has a sample request form to send to your doctor and uses importing features to upload the data, which must be in the publisher's HealthFrame Explorer format. Possibly useful--once your doctor has e-mailed all of your information, or if you use HealthFrame Explorer--this free 19MB download certainly isn't user-friendly by our standards.

The relaxation software Spirit Of Forest creates the atmosphere of the deciduous forest, river, lake, or sea surf in your office or home. It can be used for relaxation therapy or just to avoid stress during your working day. Version 3.2 Final may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.Editor's review of Spirit Of Forest This therapeutic software relaxes you with soothing nature sounds and images, though we have a few complaints.Preloaded with 10 relaxing nature themes, Spirit of Forest is designed to lull you into a state of tranquility through background sounds and slides. Its compact, skinnable interface lets you generate your own playlist and run it as long as you like. You'll hear calming sounds like ocean waves and pouring rain. The program also displays a slide show of beautiful nature scenes, but the pictures are shown in a small nonresizable window.We would have liked a few more sound options and sceneries, and a larger viewing window. Its 17MB size isn't a great selling point, but Spirit of Forest could be a useful tool to help anyone unwind, especially since it doesn't cost anything.

Desk Doctor detects and rehabilitates problems even before you feel them. First the program guides you through on-screen medical tests. Then Desk Doctor uses its built-in reasoning to compile the optimum video-guided exercise program to keep you healthy.Version 1.1.9 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.Editor's review of Desk Doctor (Low Resolution) Despite the large file size and a few prerequisites, you'll appreciate Desk Doctor's features, designed for the prevention and rehabilitation of Repetitive Strain Injury.You'll begin by taking the Desk Doctor Assessment test, which is designed to create a personal profile consisting of video exercises tailored to your needs. Impressively, it allows you to pinpoint specific body parts and identify sensations that occur while performing the motion test. Moreover, the program detects keyboard activities including typing, mouse clicking, and hovering, and it also counts how many exercises or micro breaks you have taken.The program can be configured to send auditory alerts when it detects continuous keyboard activity, and these alerts worked well during testing. Unlike similar applications, it doesn't lock the mouse or keyboard or automatically display exercises during breaks. As a result, taking advantage of breaks and exercises is at your discretion.Numerous videos likely are the reason why this application eats a whopping 27MB of memory. You'll also need QuickTime to operate this program. Nonetheless, any PC user suffering from or looking to avoid RSI will benefit from this title.

HealthFrame tracks progress on growth, height, weight, blood glucose; it tracks critical information, and ensures that it is an up-to-date view of your entire health. It tracks medical expenses and supports import/export/merge of data using the ASTM CCR (continuity of care) standard.Version 2.1.6 improves journal editing features.Editor's review of HealthFrame Explorer HealthFrame Explorer does a fabulous job of keeping medical records and personal information in a neat, orderly fashion, though it may be overkill for families.Requiring 22MB of space to install, the program comes with two sample personal health records to guide you. The skinnable interface is neatly organized to quickly pull up specific entries. You'll be able to input personal information including emergency contacts, family members, insurance information, medications, vaccinations and illnesses. Graphs to track glucose levels, weight gain and height are easily configured and read. You can even upload a photo of family members that will appear alongside their information. We also found options to log communications and visits with healthcare providers, complete with the date, business name, contact, and a quick synopsis of the happenings. Printable forms can be used to quickly fill out paperwork. You'll rest easy knowing the information contained within the program can be password-protected. The typical family won't really need everything it has to offer, but this 15-day program would certainly be beneficial to schools, small medical facilities, and athletic organizations.

Although we're glad to see options to change the bland color and fonts, they don't work. The program utilizes numerous search engines including Google, MSN, Yahoo, Ask, MamaHealth, and Healia. You'll find features for modifying toolbar configurations and organizing tabs so you can determine which engines appear on the bar.We're amazed that the program can conduct a single search across the board, retrieving results on each search engine, but the launch time of the pages is sluggish in most cases. Current news feeds from several RSS aggregators including Doctor Plexus, the CDC, Physician Referral Network and FDA MedWatch are conveniently placed on Plexus Toolbar. Plexus Toolbar has an added pop-up blocker and features to clear the toolbar's previous searches. Despite slow launching, Plexus Toolbar is a great add-on for those in the health and medical field.

More ideas about the foods you should eat are available by clicking the underlined words in the Daily Food Intake section.The Print Preview option is available, but the Print feature is disabled during the trial. Unlike comparable programs, Easy Calorie doesn't require you to constantly log meals and exercise routines. Its 24MB isn't a great selling point, but if you don't have the patience for a daily meal and activity tracker, Easy Calorie may be a beneficial tool for you.

GentleMouse is a patent-pending software that eliminates clicking. If you are suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury, arthritis or unable to click the mouse or you want to avoid developing clicking-related injuries, GentleMouse can help.Whenever you move and pause the mouse cursor, GentleMouse briefly displays a small, transparent window called a Trigger Window close to the cursor. If you want to click where you stopped, you simply move and stop the cursor over the Trigger Window and GentleMouse simulates the click for you. There are secondary Trigger Windows that become visible when you move through the first Trigger Window corresponding to right-click, double-click, and middle-click, as well as common keyboard shortcuts, such as copy & paste. GentleMouse works with any standard or ergonomic mouse, as well as alternative input devices such as trackballs & head-tracking devices. With GentleMouse, if you can move your cursor, you can click.Version 2 adds Trigger Window Border, Alternative View Window, Visual Click Indicator, and Cursor Placeholder options.Editor's review of GentleMouse This effective program aids in the fight against Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) by letting you customize autoclicks of links and buttons, though we encountered a system slowdown while running it.Simply hover your mouse on any link or button and a tiny window will appear in Gentle Mouse's functional interface. From there, you can choose which click you would like your mouse to perform, such as left, right or double-click. GentleMouse allows the user to customize a variety of features, such as the arrangement and appearance of the trigger and release windows, the reaction time, pixel size, and the commands of all the windows. It was easy to configure commands, but not all were available with the short 15-day trial version.GentleMouse certainly eases repetitive actions, but our test PCs performed sluggishly while using it. Although anyone can use this simple but effective autoclick program, the trade-off in speed may not suit everyone.

Stressful computer work causes a dangerous restriction in our breathing that can lead to low level suffocation. SmooothDBA keeps your breathing open using an interesting, always-on, animation, that is totally controllable. SmooothDBA displays a soft, slow moving animation to guide you in advanced relaxation breathing. Synchronize your breathing with the animation. Adjust the animation's behavioral properties, then use it to develop mastery over stress in intense environments.Version 3.1.1 includes an uninstaller upgrade and the ability to locate the animation anywhere on the desktop.Editor's review of Smoooth Deep Breathing Assistant This simple program guides users in deep breathing exercises, but its stingy trial period will have you breathing a sigh of displeasure. Smoooth Deep Breathing Assistant displays an animated floating guide just above the Taskbar that expands and contracts. With the program settings, you can select one of three shapes, adjust transparency, and change the rate from fewer breaths per minute for relaxation to a faster rate for stimulation. You can choose from two special modes or create your own to alter the length of the inhale or exhale. Though it stays on top, the graphic is small and can be moved anywhere on your desktop so that it doesn't impede working on your computer. The program would benefit from a status bar or another easy-to-understand display that lets you know both the current rate and mode. Additionally, the three-day trial could be more generous. Smoooth Deep Breathing Assistant will help anyone moderate his or her breathing with its simple, pulsating graphic display.

This is a calorie calculator: it counts the calories per gram of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and alcohol. I didn't put fibers, because fibers cannot be digested (they don't add up calories). The charts show the total and the percentages.Editor's review of Pimp My Meal This freeware application helps calculate the potential caloric amounts per gram of certain nutrients and compounds, although its appearance and programming are amateurish at best.Pimp My Meal requires no installation--simply unzip and run the EXE file. Its bland interface lets users input the quantity of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and alcohol to calculate total calories and percentages per gram. Unfortunately, you won't find a Help file or other program information to interpret results. Pimp My Meal helps determine your body mass index, basal metabolic rate, and weight status. It supports both metric and U.S. units of measurement. However, the programmers misspelled the word "pounds" under the Unit menu, which makes the app seem less than professional. Nonetheless, Pimp My Meal is simple enough for anyone, and it's offered free of charge.

Simple, inexpensive, functional recipe and menu generation software. Create shopping lists, email recipes to friends, create your own cookbook from your recipes stored in EzyEating. Version 4 has new interface, enhance recipe and ingredients functionality.Editor's review of EzyEating Considering how simple EzyEating makes menu planning and shopping, its few oversights are a surprise. A stylish interface presents options to create a menu or shopping list and manage meals and ingredients. With Pick-A-Meal, creating weekly menus is made all the easier with tools to quickly generate menus for a meal, a day, or a week. Once you've created meals, ingredients are automatically added to the shopping list for that week. If you want to create a list only for those items, just click No to the Shopping List's initial prompt and a list is generated immediately. Choose Yes to add additional items to your list. However, cost and size aren't tracked. In Update Meals, you can view a scrollable list of all recipes or use the standard search tools to locate a particular entry. Although you can add ingredients, you can't add recipes with the trial version. No Help file is included, but its overall intuitive design makes this a nice choice for any busy user in search of meal planning assistance.

Body Mass Index Calculator with more features, which supports both imperial and metric measurements. Input your height and weight details to get your BMI. No annoying ads, just a simple, straightforward BMI calculator. Version 2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.Editor's review of BodyCalc This freeware helps you determine your body mass index (BMI) and weight status, but provides no information on where your ratings fall. BodyCalc's straightforward interface allows you to input your gender, height, and weight information. The program supports both metric and English measurement systems, but BodyCalc's unit for height is in inches or centimeters only, so users may need to do some calculating prior to input. After providing the needed information, the program promptly displays your BMI and weight status. It doesn't display the ranges for weight status so you won't know exactly where you fall in the underweight, normal, overweight, or obese categories. Anyone who wants to quickly determine his or her BMI may find this title worth downloading, though other free options in the category provide more information.

Measuring your glucose level can help you and your doctor control diabetes and its many complications. We suggest that persons with diabetes begin keeping a daily log of their glucose readings. It's a good idea to take readings at different times of day: the ideal glucose levels are 70 to 130 mg/dL (4 to 7 mmol/L) before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) 1 to 2 hours after a meal.

Measuring your blood pressure can help you and your doctor prevent or control hypertension and its many complications.

In addition to being a convenient data logger the software is also a voluble tool for blood pressure longitudinal trends analysis. This longitudinal analysis may help you and your doctor decide on the best medicine and help adjust daily drug dosage. Version 6.1 includes record editing and allows the user to define normal Blood Pressure values.Editor's review of Free Blood Pressure Tracker Despite the omission of in-depth editing tools, this freeware application keeps track of your blood pressure readings quite well. To start using Blood Pressure Tracker, you enter details such as your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate, and the time of day the reading was taken. The color-coded calendar marks green if your blood pressure is normal, orange if you're on the verge of hypertension, and red if you have high blood pressure. The latest update lets you customize "normal" blood pressure, which is a welcome addition.Blood Pressure Tracker displays your information graphs, allowing you to see your blood-pressure history over a specific number of weeks, months, or years. It's nice you can print all records and charts, but unfortunately you only can delete--not edit--individual entries. All things considered, health-conscious users seeking a blood-pressure-monitoring tool will find this program suitable, particularly since its price won't cause any stress.

Smoker's Calc is a program created for smokers and ex-smokers. For those who are about to quit smoking, for those who have already done it, and for their families and friends. Give a few basic details of your smoking habits, and Smoker'sCalc will calculate: change in your estimated life span caused by smoking (or by quitting), amount of money you've lost on cigarettes (or you've saved by quitting), number of cigarettes you've smoked so far (or you've not smoked since you quit), and amount of time you've spent on smoking (or you've saved by quitting).

You can copy your results to other applications. Version 1.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.Editor's review of Smoker'sCalc This program measures the impact of smoking habits or the benefits of quitting, but not all features are available in the trial version. Smoker'sCalc features a commonplace interface, which is relatively easy to understand.

The trial version supports only one profile, which can be modified but not deleted. Additional features to project figures for those who refrain from smoking for the next week or until the end of the year are disabled. While its five-day trial could be more generous, this is a useful tool for anyone who has wondered about the cost (in dollars and life span) of a smoking habit.
