 Doesn't work with newer Palm, Tech support non existant, 2004-03-20
I bought this program when I had a Palm IIIc. I raved about it. It was a great program until I upgraded to a palm T3. I have emailed Tech support 5 times with no response. They are NON EXISTANT! The program still works on my desktop but will not funtion on the T3. Don't waste your money!

 In with a bang, out with a fizzle..., 2003-11-12
Got the desktop/palm software 1-2 years ago. It works okay, and does basically what I want it to. But, as far as I can tell, the company has flatlined. No new software updates, no enhancements to their product since it came out. And $50 is way too steep. I feel duped. Try something like Diet & Exercise Assistant 5.0, at palmgear.com. It's only $15-20.

 Very useful to those for whom 'diet' is a bad word, 2002-11-11
Keeping a food journal is the ONLY way I can get a handle on my eating since I am loathe to even consider a formal diet.
Beginning to journal daily eating was a good first step for me and once that became an established routine I searched for a program to help me keep track of nutrients, carbohydrates and fiber. Vivonic suits me very well for this and more. I can tell at a glance which vitamins I'm not getting enough of, what my percentages of fat, carbohydrates and protein are and approximately how many calories my daily exercise burned. One completes the screens for "The Plan" which asks questions about fitness level, weight, goals, level of activity and that sort of thing. At the end Vivonic supplies the number of calories one needs to eat and the number one needs to burn in order to lose weight at a moderate pace (if one choses the weight loss option). I adjusted the carb, fat, protein and fiber numbers to suit my own eating style and created custom reports for carbs and fiber so I can keep an eye on both.
I've learned a lot about my eating since using Vivonic, primarily that I don't eat as much protein as I thought even though I strive toward a lower carbohydrate diet and, as I suspected, I'm usually nowhere near the 25 g of fiber I think is ideal. And, even with a daily multiple vitamin I was always short on magnesium and vitamin e and have begun to supplement them seperately. Adding custom foods isn't hard though it's a bit of a pain in the beginning. I wish Vivonic syched with my Pocket PC, allowing me to see my counts away from home, but it currently supports the Palm platform and its own dedicated device only. Instead, I note in my PPC what I've eaten and record it manually at home. As time has gone on I have a very good sense about how much I can eat without slavishly referring to a book of calorie counts. Overall, a very useful program.

Vivonic Fitness Planner, 2002-09-25
This is a horribly laid out program. After one goes through and enters values of weight, routine, physical measurements, etc., it does not compute a regiment for you. I'm waiting for the new Fred "Dr. Squat" Hatfield program to come out later this year. The company that carried his previous program, "BodyCraft" discontinued the contract a few years ago. Stay away from this Vivonic garbage!
