    You have to subscribe to consumer reports. Here is the snipets:

    MyFitnessPal




    Best for: People who want an easy way of keeping a food diary that provides a running total of calories.

    How it works. It's a calorie and exercise tracker you can access on a free smart-phone app and at myfitnesspal.com. The two sync with each other, and the app is free for Android, Apple, BlackBerry, and Windows phones (search app markets for "My Fitness Pal"). You input what you eat and when you exercise; the more you move, the more calories you get!


    Paleo Diet




    Best for: Carnivores who couldn't care less about dessert.

    How it works. The idea is that we are genetically programmed to eat like our cavemen ancestors did, so we should follow their diet. That means lots of lean meat and seafood, fresh fruits, berries, and nonstarchy vegetables, but no dairy, cereal grains, legumes, processed foods, or refined sugar. Get information at thepaleodiet.com or in "The Paleo Diet," by Loren Cordain, Ph.D. (Wiley, 2010).
