Softonic review

User your PC to lose weight

Sitting behind your computer all day is a surefire way to put on weight. Diet Sleuth aims to stop the rot by using your PC as a tool in the fight against weight gain.

Diet Sleuth allows you to keep track of what foods you eat each day, and their nutritional value. For each day, you select the foods you have eaten, and the number of servings you've eaten of each. Diet Sleuth will then automatically calculate your caloric intake, fat grams, carbohydrates, fiber, protein, cholesterol, along with sodium, potassium, and calcium. The choice of foods is huge - you can select from over 5,000 different foods in 21 categories, covering everything from fast food to baby food.

If a food isn't there, you can create and edit your own in a separate category and enter nutritional information for your own custom foods. You can even exchange dietary info with other Diet Sleuth users and even recipes. Most importantly, Diet Sleuth keeps track of your daily weight and calculates your Estimated Energy Requirements (EER), which basically works out how many calories you burn each day.

On the downside, users have found that the cost of Diet Sleuth only includes one year of updates and requires re-purchasing the program after that, which isn't really acceptable. In addition, the interface is very basic and cumbersome and it can´t even set targets for you.

Overall though, Diet Sleuth is one of the more comprehensive dietary programs out there and any help losing weight is better than none.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
