This site saved my life, I’m a nurse and weighted 196 and had a heart attack 2 years ago, found out my heart was bad and they could not put me on diet pills because of my heart. I searched around and found your site and tried it. I’ve lost 78 pounds and am surviving with a bad heart.

After using the calculator for 1 year, I lost 94 pounds. I went from 332 down to 238 and still losing.

Your diet and calorie count website is VERY helpful! I appreciate and use it often. Your calculator at the top is especially helpful in keeping track of one’s dietary plan. A good and useful site. Thanks.
— Brendon
This site is amazing. I’m an Iranian boy and I’m 18. I lost 50kg (110 pounds) in 9 months. Yes it’s possible if you use the calorie calculator. Special thanks to this site.
— Emad
I wanted to send you a message to thank you for your informative website and resources. It is incredibly rare to find everything you offer for free. I feel that you provide information which is unbiased and to the point. It’s realistic and helpful. You don’t use a lot of graphics, which I appreciate because there is more information in words anyway. I have used this website for about 3 years now to help keep me on track, even if I am reviewing things I already know. I studied nutrition and wellness throughout college and employed that knowledge in my adult life. I appreciate that the programs you highlight are not quick gimmicks and are backed up by science. So thanks! Keep up the good work. I’ll be sure to get you some more traffic as well by continuing to spread the word.
— Amy
I would like to say that thanks to your site I successfully lost 16 kilos 2 years ago and have managed to keep to off. Your daily calorie calculator
was the key to my success.
— Debbie
This is an outstanding website with lots of great information. I lucked upon finding your website by trying to figure out this weigh loss resolution thing (for myself) before the New Year hits. Your website really has me motivated, though I only need to lose about 15 pounds. It has everything on your site to get me started in the right direction and I appreciate so very MUCH!!! 🙂
— Sharon
I started dieting at the beginning of June…just a few months ago. I’ve been using your calorie calculator to determine how much I should be eating.
As of yesterday, I hit the 60 pound weight loss mark. Thanks very much for all the helpful information on your site!
— Jeremy
I calculated my calorie intake according to your website. I lost a healthy 4 kg in 30 days keeping track of my calorie intake and checking on carbs and fats. Your zig zag calorie cycle is great. It gives freedom to eat more on specific day. I get all my information relating to calories in food from your site. Great website for people who want to lose weight in a healthy way.

Your website is awesome!! I am a 21 year old 5’2 female, and at 140lbs – I was overweight!! I gained this weight with comfort eating after meeting my boyfriend over 3 years ago, before this I had been 117lbs on average! I don’t enjoy gym style exercise or crappy diets – so I checked out your website in Feb. and began counting! I now weigh 118lbs and am still in a losing progress. I can’t believe how much energy I’ve regained! I now enjoy walking! This website is brilliant, I haven’t been this weight in years! Thank you very much!
— Alicia
I just wanted to let you know how much your site has helped me over the past 6 months.. From late November last year to present I have used this calculator to help me lose weight. In total so far I have lost 50 pounds, I went from a size 14 to now a size 6-8 …. I have gained so much more confidence in myself and believe in my self image a lot more! I am a totally happy, revived and strong person who doesn’t hide away in the background anymore, thank you so much!! I would recommend this to absolutely anyone and everyone, the results are truly amazing.!
— Saskia
I am down 40+ lbs since January and have used your site as a guide. I
recommend it all the time. Thanks!
— Dean
I just wanted to drop you a quick note on my progress. A year ago, I weighed 250 lbs and had a body fat of about 34 or 35%. Thanks to the excellent advice on your website, I am now 179lbs and 16.6% fat. I still have some work left to do on my body so I have adjusted my goals, but all it took was good portion control and regular exercise. I’ve gone from being barely able to exercise for 20 minutes last April to trying to get prepared to do a 5k run this June. Thank you very much for your efforts on the website.
— Larry
We were having a weight loss competition at work. I really needed to lose some weight, so I entered. Using this site not only helped me during this competition, but it helped me understand how to keep the weight off. With a strict diet and a whole lot of exercise, I lost 34lbs. in six weeks. This the best most helpful site for free that I’ve found. I just wanted to say thanks.
— Dennis
Using the website’s Calorie Calculator, I’ve lost 26lbs over just
1.5 months.
The results speak for themselves.
— Karl
The calorie calculator and other resources have been so helpful. I have lost 22lbs so far since I began using this site 8 weeks ago. I can’t afford a nutritionist or a personal trainer, so I am so grateful that this is available. Thank You for helping me on my way to a healthier happier life.
Valerie
I can’t tell you how amazing your site is, though I know you’ve already been told that plenty of times, but IT IS!! So helpful and obviously extremely accurate. Just so you know, I only added daily exercise into my weight loss plan a couple months ago – the majority of my weight loss until that point had been simply by calorie counting according to your fat loss calorie estimation! I am so happy to be in my normal/healthy weight range again, can’t say thanks enough. Take care.
Rebecca
Last January me, my mom, and my sister decided we were gonna make a pact and lose weight together. I found this website and it helped us out tremendously. My sister reached her goal, my mom has lost over half of her goal so far and I am 10 lbs away from mine. We are still going head strong either maintaining or still using the Fat loss. This is an amazing website to lead and guide you in the right direction. You do not have to starve or give up your favorite foods to lose weight. Thank you sooo much for providing the wonderful website to help us get and stay on the right path!
Angela
Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for a brilliant weight loss resource, I have taken advice from your site and by counting calories I have gone from 239.5 kilos to 170 kilos. My father has also gone from 120 kilos to 107.5. Still a long way to go for me, but I just wanted to thank you for your help, it can be really difficult to find good food facts.
Julie
I have been a trainer and nutritional consultant for the past 18 yrs. Your website is excellent. I have not really come across any other that is as complete as yours. The body fat analyses along with complete breakdown of macro-nutrients is exactly the way it should be. That is how I break it down for my clients, therefore I will be using your site in the future. Saves me the time of doing the math. I will use your site for the classes I teach as well. Great tools and info, thanks!

I have lost over 100 lbs using your website! Couldn’t be any more
appreciative. Now whenever somebody asks me how I did it, I tell them about
your website. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Mike
I have been an “advocate” for freedieting.com since I started using it to count my calories. I started on May 1st. I weighed 174 and had a BMI of 33.6. Through using your website to count my calories and going to the gym 3-5 times per week, by my wedding day I lost 49 pounds and obtained a BMI of 18. When I first started trying on wedding dresses, I was trying on 16’s. The dress I wore on my wedding day was a size 6! (And too big!) My body went through an AMAZING transformation and my success has been life changing not only for myself, but also to the people whom I have promoted your sight to as well! (I love telling people about freedieting.com, even complete strangers!) I cannot thank you enough for providing me one of the two most important tools for me to successfully lose weight for the 1st time in my life! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Mandie
I wanted to let you know that I lost a total of 65+ pounds using primarily your website’s calorie calculator
Maintenance Calorie Level, as a reference. I maintained my roughly 2050 calorie level a majority of days and my weight dropped over a year to my ideal weight range. I’ve achieved my ideal weight of 146-152 pounds which I’ve maintained going on 5+ months with no sign of increase, even through the holidays. Thank you!
David
I have lost 75 lbs. since 1/1/10–from 222 to 147–and still going! Your calculators have been instrumental in helping me continually tweak and adjust my caloric intake. Specifically, the nutrient calculators. At 180, I hit a plateau and found that just cutting calories was no longer sufficient. I had to start paying attention to the nutrient balance of my meals. I’ve found no other online calculators as useful and in depth as yours. Thanks!
Jen
I was once 180 and lost 45 pound on my own, that was in 03, ever since then I’ve yoyo’d from 135-155, I found this website last summer, my weight was once again at 155. I started doing a calorie journal, with working out and doing the zig zag calorie intake, I’m proud to say I’m now 125 and only 10lbs away in reaching my goal. Thank you so very much for this wonderful website.
