5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful and flexible program, August 5, 2000

This review is from: Life form 1.0 (CD-ROM)

I've been a user of LifeForm since early 1997, and haven't once considered replacing it with another program. Besides tracking almost anything you can think of, it allows you to add items to monitor. For example, if you've been tracking your blood pressure and want to compare that to your mood swings, you can track your mood for a while and then create a graph to compare the two and see if there's a correlation.

Compared to other programs, it is fast and easy to track your eating habits. It will retrieve a food item based on any part of the name of the food, while some others cannot "find" the food unless you get the exact spelling and order of words.

The calorie estimates for recipes you add are also very accurate. Another program I've used--MasterCook--has sometimes been off by as much as 50 percent.

The best thing about this program is that it can be as simple or as complicated as you want. If you want to track every blood chemical, mood, or doctor's appoinment, you can. But if you're looking for something to just tell you how many calories you ate today, it will do a fast and accurate job--and not give you an annoying pop-up reminder to do something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haven't found a Better Product, February 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Life form 1.0 (CD-ROM)

This is a wonderful tool. It offers an exceptional food diary, exercise journal (calculating the calories according to heartrate or level of exertion), a graphing section (compare calories burned to target calories burned), etc. A section to track stress levels, fatigue, anxiety etc almost anything you would care to track.

Its true that the food database could use an update but it is still it pretty comprehensive. If you can't find a food you can put it in (using the labeling information on the product). Or you can input your own recipes.

I have looked long and hard for a really good product to help with weight loss and this is the best I've found. It has many other uses as mentioned in another review (diabetes management etc). I can't reccommend it enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs Updating, January 20, 2000

This review is from: Life form 1.0 (CD-ROM)

This is a brilliantly implemented tool for tracking and analyzing the various aspects of your health. emptysee's review expains these features well. A significant consideration: the program has not been updated since it's 1995 release. Although the interface is exceptional for a Windows 3.1 program, it could be polished to take advantage of Windows 95/98 capabilities. The food database is badly out of date - so much so that I find myself regularly having to enter new foods. Life Form does all the things it claims, has an excellent and thorough manual, and is highly customizable. I just wish the authors would polish it up and bring it up to date!
