The only product found that can compete with the BodyMedia Fit System is Fitness Assistant for Windows. This is a $49.95 software download for your computer. Once installed, you feed in your daily food intake and exercize details. The program evaluates your data and gives you feedback to keep you on track for your targeted weight loss goal date. Feedback example may be an adjustment to portion size. The program allows you to eat the foods you like. The diet is only a guideline.

Body Media: Detailed review

Anyone who is struggling with losing weight knows that changing eating habits and committing to an exercise regime are key to success. However, trying to keep track of daily intake and activity is like taking on another full time job. The BodyMedia Fit System has taken all this into account and come up with a system that incorporates new technology to guide you along the path to your weight loss goals.

There are 3 key elements to weight loss.

  1. Calories Burned - An accurate (90%) account of your daily expended energy through eveyday routine movements to heavy exercise are provided for your unique body through the sensors of the armband.
  2. Calories Consumed - What you put into you body provides fuel known as calories. It is important to know that you are consuming what your body needs in regards to fiber, carbs, fat, etc. BodyMedia FIT provides a detailed nutritional breakdown for you.
  3. Quantity and Quality of Sleep - Scientists, through their research, are realizing that proper sleep plays a significant role in weight loss by helping suppress your appetite and maintaining your energy.

BodyMedia FIT System works by monitoring your body daily. You plug the armband into your computer to upload the data once a day. You log in your food intake by computer or a free app on your iPhone® or Android™ smartphone. The Activity Manager then uses the data to give you a report of your progress toward your weight loss goal.
