AMERICA’S EPIDEMIC: A NEW WAY TO COMBAT OBESITY

Free Online Nutrition Data and Dietary Journal Tools Aid Weight Loss and Health

Every day headlines point to the collective weight gain of America’s population. According to the CDC, the prevalence of obese individuals in the U.S. increased 74 percent between 1991 and 2001. And as our waistlines expand, our life spans shrink.

Everyone knows that maintaining a healthy weight is a key to good health, but for many people weight management is one of life’s most difficult and dreaded challenges. The great news for dieters is that unlike many dieting Web sites, HungerAway.com’s nutritional database and dietary journal are free of charge.

HungerAway.com offers visitors access to a comprehensive, detailed database of nutritional information. More than 90,000 food items are available, including products from brand-name restaurants. Users can save a nutritional record as a “favorite” so they can refer to it later, or to their personal journal to track their eating habits.

Instead of focusing on only one diet program, HungerAway.com provides information useful to followers of any weight loss plan, including low-carbohydrate and low-fat programs. Because complete nutritional details for each food item are provided, visitors to HungerAway.com get a complete understanding of what they’re eating with one easy search.

HungerAway.com was founded in 2006; the company’s goal is to lead the industry with its online weight loss tools and products.
