This is a great way to control your food intake, I have been using nutracheck for just under a week and have shed pounds!!! I love the barcode app which allows me to scan foods so easy and simple, the only thing which is a little frustrating is the library of food on the iPhone app is limited certain brands or chains are not there so they have to be manually Inputted in regards of calories and fat contents, but you can get around this and hopefully the food library will be updated as the site recieves more users.

My best friend bought me a 3 month membership to this website when I was stressed and upset about the fact I felt I would never be able to lose weight, and I will be forever grateful to her for it. It's truly the best thing I've ever done for my health and well being. I've never been a person who could diet. I hate the very idea of it and I've run away from anything that seemed suspiciously diet-like. Nutracheck is a healthy eating practice. You can eat anything you like (today's been a junk food day for me and I've had crackers and cheese and hot chocolate and flapjack and pizza... not all together!) as long as it fits into your calorie allowance. Crucially, I'm never hungry! The database is magnificent and there are few items you can't find. It's also easy to create your own food items, or build recipes for meals you cook a lot, which saves you the trouble of adding each ingredient separately every time you cook. But most important is the forum support. The forums are full of the most wonderful people who provide support and encouragement at any time of the day or night. Most importantly there's no pressure to lose weight fast, or to just get thin. The emphasis is on health and being patient and gentle with yourself while retraining yourself and your eating habits. In fact I've seen several instances of people saying, "Are you sure you want to lose any more weight, you look amazing already!" I've been on Nutracheck just over 4 months and I've lost 3 stone to date. I'm feeling amazing and so excited to have conquered my weight issue. I have 1 stone to go, and I feel certain that with what I've learned on this site it will all stay off for good. I wholeheartedly recommend this site to anyone who would like to lose weight. I have already recommended it to people close to me. I love it, I think it is wonderful.

Nutracheck is great because it has an app that I've downloaded to my phone too. Not only can I fill my diary in at home, but on the app wherever I am (as long as I have a phone signal). The food reports are great too, so it works great in terms of filling my diary in on the app and reviewing how it's all going when I log onto my computer in the evening. I'm steadily losing weight, and it's the most successful diet I've been on to date.

So many of these things are a scam but this site is really good. it's brilliantly thought out, easy to use both on the ipone and online. I am loosing 2kg/week easily and enjoying myself. The calorie counter itself is worth the money, it always has the food you search and the search is instant. You can invent/log your own recipes ie food you regularly eat like a home made ham salad sandwich, so you don't have to keep entering the same ingredients over again for these home made meals. it tells you how much fat you've had, how many calories eaten/burned by doing exercise. If you are serious about healthy eating and loosing weight by calorie counting then you need this, especially the iphone app.

I have been with Nutracheck before and lost a lot of weight with them. Now after stuffing myself with too much food on holiday i'm with them again. It's a great tool and much more advanced in my opinion than the WW online weight checker tool. Plus it's value for money for the same thing. The food index is extensive and if what you're eating is not on there it is very easy to add. Lots of tips and if you like to cook, recipes available as well as an online forum to talk to other people and share your weight loss goals/stories.

I absolutely love nutracheck and couldn't recommend it highly enough. I have lost 2 stone in just over 2 months... Its so easy to get to grips with and the forums are great... tried many diets over the years and this is the only one that has ever consistently worked. It has totally transformed my life, I feel like a new person :)

Joined www.nutracheck.co.uk at the beginning Jan 2011 wanting to loose 2stone which i thought was a pipe dream as i'd been overweight and unhappy about my weight for years. Just over 2 months on and i'm 1stone 9lb lighter, a dress size less and feel the happiest about my weight in years. The site is so easy to use and it really is simple to follow. I have learnt so much about what's in food and how I need to change to continue the weight loss and keep it off for life. I would never have thought it could be this easy and although i'm only 6lb off my goal i love being part of the site and putting in my weigh in figures each week and getting my medal (computer ones of course). It really is a life changing site and highly reccommend it to anyone who is at a time when they want to make a change and be honest each day about what they are eating. When you have to key it in and see exactly whats in what you are eating you soon learn whats right and whats wrong and well its as simple as that. Give it a go!

I lost 17lbs in seven weeks with this site and all for the price of a bottle of wine a week (and without the calories!!). It's like having a personal diet and fitness consultant who encourages you along. It's incredibly easy and I like being able to give my own daily feedback to my progress too. Some people have mentioned in reviews that the exercise calorie-burning totals are a bit inaccurate but does it really matter if you're a few calories out at the end of the day? It's the overall effect that matters and over a period of time I'm sure the odd calorie above or below your target balances itself. On saying that, if you're not honest with what you enter in your diary then there's no point in doing it, but who are you cheating if you're not honest? Only yourself. Love the site!

I have lost over 2 stone since August by using this web-based diet diary. What it has done for me is give me total control over my calorie intake, which I have never had, and reward me for my calorie expenditure through exercise. It has motivated me to diet effectively where I have never been able to maintain another diet plan. Furthermore: I have not given up alcohol nor has there been any need to do so.

Amazing site. I found it about 2 and a half years ago and lost 4.5 stone (in fact 5 at my lowest but I've settled at a few pounds above that) and have managed to keep it off ever since. I use the site still to help me manage my weight and get those extra Christmas pounds off from when you don't try too hard to be good. As others have said its a very simple concept, though you do have to be honest. But if you are it is pretty well foolproof. I didn't give anything up just changed the food balance - so roast dinner every weekend! It's a site that lets you live the old addage 'eat less and move more' without much pain

There is no magic to the principles behind nutracheck - calorie restriction and exercise. I consider myself reasonably well educated on diet, nutrition and exercise and so previously shunned this sort of site - my thinking was that it couldn't teach me anything I didn't know already. I have to say that nutracheck has made a phenomenal difference to my efforts to lose weight and maintain fitness. I had underestimated the psychological benefits of getting a green tick at the end of the day and recording my progress.

The discipline of logging calories and exercise makes me more conscious of what I am eating (in an informed rather than obsessive manner) and encourages me to move more. I have identified hidden calories in my diet - particularly those skinny lattes and glasses of red wine. Using the diary helps me plan my calorie consumption so that I can have a takeaway and a couple of glasses of wine without guilt or weight gain.

The diary is very easy to use - containing a huge range of food items, including most of the sandwich chains. It also has the capacity for you to manually enter foods and create and store your own receipes for meals that you cook at home.

Exercise is also easy to enter. You can either rely on the typical calorie consumption values for a particular type of exercise or enter a precise number of calories burnt. I also now wear a pedometer daily and enter my step count.

The forums and articles are a further useful resource.

My only slight criticism is that it is BMI focused. I train hard and body fat would be a more useful measurement. That said, you set your own goals and I judge my progress by what I see in the mirror and what my fat monitor and clothes tell me rather than being a slave to BMI.

I am so thoroughly converted that I kept up my membership once I hit my target weight to help me maintain - after all membership doesn't cost more per month than a couple of Starbucks lattes!

This is a fantastic website. It has all the features you need, as well as loads of features you didn't realise you needed! Combining calorie counting with exercise, this website encourages you to eat healthily by telling you how many fruit/vegetable portions you have eaten too. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

This is an excellent site if you are prepared to be honest about what you eat and what exercise you take!
It's based on a food diary - thousands of foods listed plus you can enter details of you're own. The tools allow you to analyse your eating patterns and track your weight. It works out your fats/carbs/proteins ratio plus the % of other key nutrients. I realised I needed to cut down my fats and up my protein and that I need more calcium and iron.
It's allowed me to tackle the extra pounds that I carried (only just not overweight but problems with an arthritic knee)and then work out a diet plan that sustains me at my new lower weight. If I put on weight - as I have over Christmas - it will help me get back to where I need to be. I also use it to help a much more overwieght friend and she is doing wonderfully!

fantastic! all you do is put in what you have eaten for the day, then if its not already there-you add it to to catalogue of foods! it adds up your calories and fat for that day. if you did enough excersise for that day, and coverd your calories then you get a big green tick. you also can do food swaps! put in something that you like (alot) that is quite fatty with lots of calories-like chocolate-then click 'swap' it will bring up hundreds of different chocolate items and tell you how much fat and calories are in each one-it makes it easier to decide which one to buy. add your excersise too. Nutracheck tells you how much excersise you need to do to loose weight. nutracheck is worth its money for me. no banned foods!! its about quantity!

Changed my life!! Amaaaazing

I have been using site for five weeks, after finding it by accident. I have lost 7ibs so far and it's not costing a fortune. I have tried other diets and never managed to loose weight, it's so easy I'm hoping my loss continues.
