What many users like about DietWatch is the powerful food and calorie database (one of the most comprehensive in the industry). This enables the user to track virtually every food you can think of.

DietWatch also take a very balanced and "un-faddish" approach to weight loss (based on the guidelines of nutritionist Jenny May).
