One of the largest and longest running studies on weight loss maintenance trials ever has recently been performed and was just published in the August 2008 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Their results: keeping a food diary doubles weight loss! It was the most effective way to keep weight off.

But Heads Up Eating isn't just for losing weight. Your health is obviously important to you. Proper nutrition is arguably the most important aspect of your health. Ensuring you are getting the proper nutrition and amounts of nutrients, not too much and not too little, is something that's hard to estimate for anyone. That's where Heads Up Eating comes in.

New to the concept of calorie counting and nutrition tracking? So are most people! Find out more about why this is such a big deal and how it's going to help you.

What makes Heads Up better than older calorie counters and nutrition tracking tools?

• Food information among Heads Up members can be shared. If one member has manually copied a nutrition label into our database, it is available to other members; they can quickly find and enter the same food in their daily journal.
• The powerful search features allow you to find foods faster than ever before.
• Heads Up remembers how much of what you ate, so when you enter that same food again, the same unit and amount will pop up immediately.
• Meals can be saved and reused again and again, modified, and deleted as needed, saving you the time of entering in multiple foods
• Based on your profile information, Heads Up personally calculates your nutritional requirements based on established and cited recommendations, and offer suggestions on how much to eat depending on your goal. It allows you to set custom targets for your calorie intake and macronutrient ratios, and keeps you constantly informed of your current target status
• The extremely powerful recipe feature allows you to create, store, and scale your recipe to any serving size or unit, as well as convert your recipe to a single food item.
• Privacy options allow you to adjust how much if any information you wish to share with other members and the rest of the world.
• The user interface is sleek, simple, and straightforward. It's not cluttered with tons of gimmicks, pictures of buff people, irrelevant links, and other useless crap normally found on health and fitness sites.

If you've put off keeping a food journal or diary until now because it was too much of a pain, those days are over, and now is the time to start!
