DIET and NUTRITION
NutriMirror can be used in conjunction with any diet plan. Each day, you log what you ate and how much ate in your food diary and NutriMirror gives you an immediate report of how your food stacks up against what you should be eating. You receive a breakdown of calories, fat grams, vitamins, minerals, fiber and carbohydrates after entering in a snack or a meal.
It also highlights what nutrients you are keeping in your target range and which ones are out of your target range. For instance, if you already consumed enough saturated fat for the day once you entered your lunch information, then the number of fat grams will be shown in red, alerting you to pay attention to your saturated fat intake for the rest of the day.
EXERCISE
NutriMirror does not formulate an exercise program for you but it computes and reports the impact of all your elective exercises on your calorie balance via the Exercise Log. After selecting the type of exercise, the duration and intensity, your Exercise Log will give you a synopsis of how many calories your burned. You can also set weekly exercise goals and view a detailed report that tracks how well you have adhered to these goals.
CONCLUSION
NutriMirror is an online tool that allows you to track your own diet and fitness progress for free. It was created in light of research that shows individuals who keep consistent and daily food diaries have a higher success rate in meeting their weight loss goals and maintaining them over the long-term. NutriMirror is an excellent and comprehensive program that promotes personal accountability for how your behaviors impact your level of health.

As with so many others, I have tried several different types of 'eating plans' and while they did work (as in I lost some weight) they were too rigid or restrictive to maintain long-term. I've been using Nutrimirror since June 2009 and have lost a little over 20 lbs and its been far easier than I ever would have thought. I've always known that to loose weight you need to maintain a calorie deficit but NutriMirror makes it easier by doing all the math, giving you feedback that tells you if you are on the right track or not. Its all about choices - when you make the ones that support your goal you move in the right direction down that path.
This is not one that you use on a temporary basis until you reach a goal - it is a tool you use for life. The site and its wonderful member community encourage the eating of fresh, whole, natural foods - real foods that you can find in your local grocery store or farmers market. Foods you can find and prepare yourself, today, tomorrow and 10 years from now. Through the process of getting healthy and losing weight, you learn to eat foods that properly fuel your body and are also ones that you enjoy so there is no 'after' once you've reached your goal.
I lost 100% of my excess body weight & am keeping it off thanks to the 18 months I have been using Nutri-Mirror. Truly a miracle tool!
this is the first program that has enabled me to lose weight, keep it off and positively impact my health--normal cholesterol and blood sugar. It helps me monitor my fiber, fat and protein intake and shows me the way exercise positively impacts my life. This is better than any diet, because it alters behavior which is the only way to make lasting change.
NutriMirror is an amazing site. It is NOT about dieting, it is about eating in a healthy, satisfying way. The most important feature, in my opinion, is the amazingly positive and supportive people who use the site. I HIGHLY recommend you give this site a try!
I joined NM In January 2010 and has since lost 14 lbs. This site is the bomb for those who are determined to make weight lose happen this TIME AROUND. It's user friendly and a great tool to use to reach your weight loss goal. I LOVE THIS SITE.
With many health issues there were very discouraging, I started with NutriMirror over a year ago. I have lost weight slowly, steadily yet, HAPPILY. I know it will take me longer than most to reach my healthy weight goal but the tools and non-instrusive support from other members have really helped me. I now realize that weightloss is only part of the goal. I'm still extremely happy with NutriMirror and plan to be for very long time.
To paraphrase what Mikey says:
Try it, you will like it!!
I have been logging on NM for 2 weeks and I LOVE it. I have lost 5 lbs. and I have been eating better than I have in a long time. It is super easy to use. The fact that this is a free website is unbelievable. It was a real eye-opener for me to see where I was falling short on my nutrients. I give it a big thumbs up!!
it is the greastest site ever. besides learning how to feed your body healthy, there are tips, suggestions and inspiration from members. The best thing, the creators of the site are on-line and are there for any question, problem you may have, iT IS LIKE BEING IN A MOM AND POP STORE THAT CARES ABOUT YOU RATHER THAN A NAMELESS GIANT THAT CARES ABOUT $$$$
I've tried everything and gave up when WW finally failed me. Then Nutrimirror taught me why everything else failed. I am now loosing 1.6 lbs per week for a total of 15 lbs in 10 weeks. Feeling great, looking better.
Where to start?? Let me just say that without a shadow of a doubt this is the best "life management tool" I have ever used or come across. It is so helpful to know what you are eating, the health benefits - or lack thereof - how your exercising and other choices affect your overall weight, and all the other life management tools NM supplies. Yeah, I've fallen off the wagon more than once but I keep coming back to NM - why? because it is the absolute best way to try to manage your health and weight. I can't thank Jim and everyone else who donates their time to making this site as good as it is.
I started using NutriMirror (NM) in July of '09. I started because I was having health issues and hoped that keeping track of my food intake would help me figure it out. Thanks to NM, the issues (which had sent me to the E.R. 4 times in the previous 12 months) are completely under control. Also, I've shed 30 pounds. For the first time in my life, I feel in control of food. It doesn't happen overnight, but if you use the tool and turn to the journal room for support, your health will benefit more than you would expect.
Also- this is really, truly, FREE. No gimmicks. Just a wonderful gift from a family with huge hearts and open minds.
I love love love nutrimirror. I have tried for years to make the scale move, but couldnt, until I found nutrimirror. This site is not a diet, it's a lifestyle plan. Diets suck and your always gain the weight back. The key to successful weight loss is to learn how to eat. Nutrimirror shows you what you are doing right or wrong. It allows you to see where you can make changes to stay on the write track.
I joined NM on May 15 09 and met my original goal this week. I have decided to lose another 7 pounds. I am no longer overweight but I want to have some wiggle room. I plan to use NutriMirror for the rest of my life. The site and the Rays and their staff are awesome.
I've been using Nutrimirror for about a month. This site is a great tool for improving your health through nutrition. I tried prescription iron supplements without much success. I like this site because I can see how much iron I'm getting from food. It has made me a participant in my own health! And I've lost a few pounds. Also, Funny and supportive staff and members!
This is not a diet. Diets suck. They make you fat. This ingenious absolutely free site (a gift to our world from one family) is a tool that helps you learn what you need to know about food and about yourself so that you can make the important decisions that will save your life. I found this site in August of 2008 and have lost 105 pounds...slow and smart. I have no reason to think those pounds will be back, since I didn't lose them using a gimmick or depriving myself. Sure, I feel wonderful now that I'm lighter, but I felt great immediately upon taking control of my eating. My life had changed by week 2. The changes were taking place in my understanding of nutrition and therefore I was able to renovate my relationship with food. If you're tired of the diet industry making money off your poor health and then making it even worse, check out NutriMirror. It's the real deal.
I joined in Sept 2009 after decades of dieting. I have learned that the key to a healthy weight lies in meeting your bodies nutritional needs and Nutri Mirror is just the tool to make that happen. Thanks to this site and it's many users, I am finally learning to cook healthy, nutritional meals that my whole family enjoys. I have lost 22 pounds so far and feel better than I have in years.
The journal room people are also very good at supporting each other. This is way better than I ever expected to find.
I have tried many different ways to lose weight and this is the only one that I feel good about. I know I am balanced, I know that I am getting enough to eat and I know I am healthy. I dont recommend any other but NutriMirror. I am very happy to be part of NM family and I will be for life.

I think NutriMirror is mis-labeled as a "diet." It is a tool for restructuring your life by bringing your healthy habits to the forefront and helping you choose to avoid your weaker habits. The lack of prescribed exercise plan makes it work for everyone, even those who cannot exercise could still benefit from the NutriMirror analysis and guidance.
I already was working out in the gym 5 days a week, with minimal weight loss for over a year before I found NutriMirror. Now 6 months later I am down about 20 lbs. That is a real accomplishment for me, and proof that the method works.
I've tried other programs before, and like this better than any of the others. It's something that I can use to keep calorie counts, nutrition information and a whole-picture look at my health in one place, all easily accessible.
These guys have started a quiet revolution in weight management through sane, controlled eating with the goal on healthy choices to establish a lifelong pattern of new behavior.
Just what the doctor ordered. :-)
