Shop’NCook is two applications in one, a recipe organizer and a shopping list manager working seamlessly together to facilitate your grocery shopping and cooking. Recipes are easily added by typing them in, pasting them from the clipboard, or importing directly from the internet: no formatting is necessary. The smart wizard interprets the recipes, links them to the database of grocery items or to other recipes and yields an accurate nutritional analysis without user’s intervention. You organize your recipes by categories and in cookbooks that you can share with anyone with the free Shop’NCook Reader software. A powerful scaling tool lets you scale the ingredients and the text of your recipes, make ingredient substitutions and unit conversions. You add the ingredients of the recipes to the shopping list with a click. The quantities are scaled and converted automatically to your preferred shopping units. Contrary to most cooking software, grocery lists can also be created by directly selecting items of the database, adding from sublists or just typing in new items. Other features: fully customizable database of more than 2000 grocery items with nutritional data for more than 40 nutrients; recipe import in several popular formats (scx, mm, mxp, mx2 and plain text); nutrition scripts to control the display of nutritional information and compute custom nutritional formulas; e-mail tool to send recipes and shopping lists; direct access to an online recipe database where Shop’NCook users share their recipes. The CD contains the installers for Windows and Mac OS X platforms. The installers include three cookbooks totaling about 1000 recipes.

Customer Review: The Essential Exercise Video
A must-own exercise video, in this Leslie takes you on a 25 minute intense aerobics workout. Using only basic exercise moves (kicking, side-stepping, kick backs and knee lifts, mostly), Sansone gets you out of your seat with fast-paced music, inspirational words for dieters and overly enthusiastic comments on how well you’re doing. In all fairness, nothing has helped me more than this video. I’ve been using this (varied with a twenty minute audio cassette also by Leslie- great for traveling) three times a week for two years. I lost the ten pounds I wanted to and haven’t gained an ounce back since, WITH NO DIET CHANGES! The short duration of the tape is also encouraging, unlike a Richard Simmons (or most other similar workout tapes), you’re not dancing your buns off for upwards of an hour, it’s just 25 minutes! A must-own way for getting a healthy, non-obsessive workout without leaving your living room.
Customer Review: The best yet for couch potatos
I would highly recommend this tape to anyone that is just starting to exercise or has never exercised. It is so easy to do and follow. I have had knee surgery, and cannot do to much twisting or jumping, and this tape is just what I have been looking for. I will certainly purchase more of Leslie’s tapes in the future.

Customer Review: Good program, with limitations
I am coming up on two years of using this program, and it works well. It has been a key tool in losing 40 pounds in two years. The activities section is quite detailed. There is a large database of food items, however they tend to be rather inaccurate. I have gotten around this by adding custom items, which is easy to do, especially for one person. For all the functionality there are some limitations that warrant a couple points off, in my opinion. These include: - FitDay assumes that you add margarine and salt to everything. This includes vegetables. A work around is to use raw instead of cooked, or enter every little thing as a custom. If you are tracking sodium this is a must. - Even without added salt, Fitday sodium values tend to be much higher than normal items. - The custom database is not accessible by anyone else in the house, on the same computer. That means you have to enter every custom food on each family member’s account. Considering most things we eat are custom items, this is a good chunk of needless work. - The program now costs $10 more than I paid for it a couple years ago, yet the current version is 1.0. There have been no updates in over two years, and I understand its about 3 years on the first version now. Greedy? - The reports are great, yet there is no way to export the data, or even print it, to take to a doctor or nutritionist. - There is no entry for trans fats. - There are few brand name items, and because there are no updates most of the branded entries are obsolete. - The search function seems to be based on the last word entered, only. - The listing of search items is weird. For example, search on Chicken, and the first item listed is chicken feet (then Chicken Kiev, then skin). Chicken breast is 14th on the list. There are plenty of other minor things to squawk about, but the bottom line is that the program works really well if you stick to it, and add custom entries weekly. I’d recommend using the free on-line version for a while first to make sure you can stick with it. The on-line version also has the advantage that you can access it from any computer.
Customer Review: Helpful and Comprehensive
I have used Fitday’s software for a year now, and I find it very useful for a variety of reasons. Basically, Fitday allows you to store, track, and analyze a huge number of different factors related to nutrition and exercise. This includes food, activity, mood, weight, and measurements. Specifically, the program has a large number of foods in its database (taken from USDA databases), and allows you to enter your own custom foods either by entering new foods, or modifying entries already in their database. Once you enter your food, you can keep track of your calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and a whole host of vitamins and minerals. If you want, you can pull up a graph showing you which foods provided you with different nutrients in a day, or another graph that tells you which friend you ate with when you consumed most of your calories (or fat, carb, etc). There are a huge number of exercises in the database too, which cover just about every activity you might do (including odd ones like shoe repair, digging for worms, and conducting music). You can also enter custom exercises. The program allows you to record your daily mood, i.e. how you felt that particular day. You can also set your weight, height, and other metabolism information (for example, how active you are at work), and the program estimates the calories you burn in a day just from existing. Once you enter your weight, you can set a weight goal, which includes the date you need to lose the weight by. Then, the software tells you how much weight you need to lose per week, and as you lose weight, you can update the software, and it generates a handy line graph showing your progress. If you don’t think weight is an accurate measurement of progress, you can enter your neck, bicep, forearm, chest, waist, hip, thigh, and calf measurements, and track all of them. You can find some basic reports on the overview tab, including a comparison of calories burned versus consumed for a given time period (you set that). If you want more detailed reports about food or activity, they too are available. However, there are a few drawbacks to the software. First, no weight loss software is going to come with every food in its database. This means that if you want an accurate estimate of daily nutrients and calories, you will (at least initially) be entering a lot of custom foods. While the software is easy to navigate, entering a bunch of custom foods can become tedious, and those who are not too excited about their diet may find it too much work. Second, while the software permits multiple users, I haven’t found a way to transfer custom foods from one user to another, which means that people in the same household eating the same custom foods will have to enter them in twice. Third, the software could easily track more nutrients than it does, since the USDA database it is based on contains many values Fitday omits: vitamin K, lutein, lycopene, caffeine, biotin, etc. While Fitday tracks a lot of nutrients, I still would like to see more. However, despite these minor drawbacks, I have given the program five stars because it really is very helpful. Overall, I recommend Fitday software for those who need to keep track of what they eat and what they do. It is the best way I have found to keep me on track, making me aware of hidden calories and periods of inactivity. Personally, I tend to eat less (and exercise more) when I use Fitday simply because I want to be able to see something positive on the screen at the end of the day. Those not concerned about weight loss, but who have other health issues, could benefit from this software too, since it tracks sodium, folic acid, saturated fat, and other nutrients. While no software is going to help an unmotivated person lose weight, Fitday provides those who are motivated with a powerful set of tools that will give them an edge…if they have enough commitment to use the software regularly.
