There is nothing in nutritional substitutes (supplements) that can't be delivered by whole foods. Among the hundreds of "miraculous" products available is a mail-order product that promises complete daily nutrition to the body by means of two tablespoons of 'magic powder'! Without mentioning whether this powder is accurately mixed, we'd have to say that a potato, tomato, cantaloupe or fillet of halibut is far more nutritious than something that's pressed into a pill, powder or tonic. Benefits from complete foods not only are far greater than the sum of their parts; they provide energy in the form of healthful calories, which people sorely need as part of any dieting or fitness program!
There's no doubt about it: Whole foods have serious health links. NOPILLS' manipulated data on natural (and processed) foods, using government-stipulated RDIs (Recommended Daily Intakes) or custom targets, will vastly simplify the task of using Nature's complex, balanced bounty to provide perfect nutrition for the body. The program uses typical but easily modified serving sizes from a database of more than 2700 food items. The software performs many functions designed to convert the task of nutrition management and diet analysis to a cakewalk. As a food guide combined with powerful diet management software, it quickly exposes nutrient deficiencies if only because of our focus on calories, fats or carbs rather than well-rounded nutrients. Dieting tips can quickly reveal themselves while the program graphically delivers nutrient content.
The Windows-based NOPILLS diet software helps you build menus, check your intake, print and save recipes and entrees, select and save product ingredients, produce RDI content reports, check daily RDIs, change fat-protein-carbohydrate formulas, change gender and metric-vs-English weights, change calorie targets, change any vitamin or mineral target (in the CLIENT login mode), print official nutrition data reports and grocery lists, sort by food group, and analyze (by scrolling) which nutrients accompany each other in products packaged by nature. For example, a click of the mouse yields a Top 200 report on the leading (or poorest!) sources of any nutrient -- or carbohydrate, or protein, or type of fat.
Meanwhile, you'll be flipping through food items and watching 26 nutrient color bars dance back and forth as they separate the content into visual results -- as fast as your computer can scroll the down-arrow! Planning a perfect one-day menu for a client or yourself could take less than five minutes, making use of the most powerful food sources, and eliminating guesswork and/or hours of study with reference texts. The result can be perfectly balanced diets with amazing flexibility for personal preferences. You end up easily replacing high-carb and high-fat meals with a low-carb or low-fat diet that lowers cholesterol, reduces the occurrence of heart disease and high blood pressure, and ensures a healthy diet without the supplements. For diabetes, producing dietetic recipes (or products) has never been more user-friendly.
With NOPILLS software you will be building, rapidly, a variety of recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks that never have to break pace with a wholesome diet. This professional nutrition management software is internally 'hyperinteractive', which means that simple clicks of the mouse put a universe of nutrient information and nutrient comparisons right in front of you on the same screen whether you requested them or not! What makes these readouts so easy to scan and comprehend is the color-bar graphics. An intuitive learning curve will have you comparing Vitamin C sources, or even the whole B-bitamin cluster, just with peripheral vision while you hold down an arrow key.
