A long awaited solution to weight loss challenges in this high-tech world. Thanks to Jordan Gold for writing such an informative guideline for modern day weight loss. My entire family intends to use the information found in this book.

"Get Fit With Technology" is, without a doubt, one of the BEST investments I've ever made. I, also, had read that the Journal of the American Medical Association had published statistical information, which showed that computer-aided diet and exercise programs enabled dieters to lose approximately 3 TIMES as much weight as those who didn't use such programs. I reasoned that if I learned only 1-2 tools that would help in the weight battle, it would be well worth the price of the book. Well, fortunately I learned so much more! It contained a wealth of information and I am so grateful that I purchased this book.

I have over 50 diet/exercise/health book in my personal library. Moreover, I subscribe to several health newsletters - both online and through the mail. But I have to candidly tell you that I came close to not ordering this book, which would have been a HUGE mistake.

You see, I consider myself to be pretty "computer savvy." Moreover, I thought that "Get Fit With Technology" would probably contain the myriad of out-of-date info on all the latest diet and exercise websites that I could easily find myself on Google, etc. Plus, I have always thought that I was pretty up-to-date on all the latest "health gadgets" out there. I mean what could I really find in this book that I hadn't heard about before?

P*L*E*N*T*Y! This book DOES discuss some of the more common food and exercise websites such as Weight Watchers, e-diets, etc. - plus so many others that I had never seen anywhere online before. (And I read ALL of the health blurbs out there!) It also discusses choosing a plan that is right for your own needs; what type of professional software is out there (rather than just having a website); healthy cooking recipes sites online; support sites, fun fitness gadgets; some GREAT shopping sites; sites for specific diseases and conditions; and two of the best appendixes I've seen on some great health tools and websites.

No matter WHICH diet or exercise plan you are on; or if you haven't found that one particular diet yet that will work for you - Get Fit With Technology WILL help you. It has my absolutely HIGHEST recommendation.
