CalorieKing Review

What You Should Know

CalorieKing produces calorie tracking software for those people who want to make sure they are meeting their caloric intake goals. CalorieKing was developed by Allan Borushek, the clinical dietitian who created the first comprehensive pocket calorie guides in the 1970′s. CalorieKing maintains a database of over 40,000 foods according to the company’s website. Full nutritional information is provided for each food, including protein, carbohydrates, and calories. Many restaurant and fast food products are included so that the users can still keep track even when they go out to eat.

Product Features

Users of CalorieKing start by inputting their current weight, height and measurements into the program and map out timelined goals. The program allows users to compare actual changes to the original goal to let them know if they are on track. Goals can be set for caloric intake only or can include exercise goals. The CalorieKing website includes many free resources, tools, and articles accessible directly from the site. It also includes community forums and blogs accessible only to paid customers. The CalorieKing store offers many related items such as bathroom scales, pedometers, and books. We were unable to locate a money-back guarantee on store items.

The CalorieKing software can be downloaded immediately from the website for $49. There is a free 7-day trial available. CalorieKing can be run in either Mac or PC. There is an add-on recipe program that can be purchased for $20. A version for handheld devices that can sync with the main program is around $30. We liked to see the free trial period but were disappointed to not find a manufacturer’s satisfaction guarantee. This means that customers only have 7 days to figure out if they like the software or not. After the 7-day trial, the software is billed for and there does not appear to be any way to get a refund.

Advantages

  • Can access food calories search function for free.
  • Combines personalized diet recommendations with calorie tracking.

Disadvantages

  • Annual fee compared to many sites that provide similar information for free.
  • Does not take the place of one-on-one weight counseling.
  • Will not actively help you lose weight.

Conclusion

CalorieKing is one of about a dozen competitive products that all do basically the same thing. CalorieKing has some bells and whistles that many of its competitors don’t (like drag and drop functionality), but it does have an annual cost whereas many competitive software programs are free or have free versions. The 7-day free trial is a nice feature to allow potential customers to take the program for a test drive before committing to purchase. CalorieKing would dovetail nicely into a weight loss program to help track exercise and food goals to keep motivation high.

Top Choice for 2013: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
