Nutrihand Empowers Consumers to Manage
Their Health and Lose Weight for Free
First-of-its kind service enabling consumers with or without
a medical condition to manage their health online

Mountain View, Calif. – August 15 , 2005 — Nutrihand, Inc. today announced the expansion of its web-based health management service (www.nutrihand.com) to help consumers plan, track and manage their nutrition, fitness and medical information online. Previously only for diabetics, the service expanded and now empowers anyone with or without health complications to lose weight and manage their health, with easy-to-use tools to create and monitor their diet, exercise and medication routines. Demand for specialized health management services is growing exponentially. Today, 52 percent of the adult online population is thinking about or trying to lose weight for health reasons or to look better.

Unlike other diet e fitness services, Nutrihand is the only one that combines nutrition, fitness and medical tools with a powerful personalization engine that learns as the user enters information. It is also the only online service that is designed for people with medical conditions such as celiac disease, hypertension, obesity and diabetes.

The service can be accessed from any Mac or PC at no charge, or customized to individuals who would like more specialized plans and reports for a small fee.

According to Felicia D. Stoler, MS, RD, “Most consumers know that eating well and exercising are the ingredients for a healthier and happier lifestyle. Yet for many, staying faithful to a diet and fitness routine, making adjustments to their program and keeping track of the results, can be too time-consuming and a cumbersome challenge.” Ms. Stoler is a registered dietitian and exercise physiologist, who is an expert in behavior modification to influence positive health outcomes.

“Nutrihand’s service was designed to make health management easy. It provides access to a wide range of medical, nutritional and fitness tracking reports, and also serves as a valuable tool for planning meals or designing workouts” said Soraya Bittencourt Chief Executive Officer of Nutrihand.

Nutrihand offers users access to the largest database of foods and exercises, with an easy to use interface that teaches consumers as they plan or track their daily routines, how they can better control their health to manage their medical conditions.

“I’ve already lost 10 lbs. in 5 weeks- that’s a fantastic start! I am now learning to combine and watch portions better. It’s so much easier to plan and prepare foods without having to manually figure out all the carbs and calories. One of the best features is the automatic Nutrition Facts label that is generated when I enter my own recipes!” said Pam Benz, a Nutrihand subscriber.

Nutrihand offers consumers two plans: Nutrihand Basic, which is free of charge, and Nutrihand Premium for $9.95 per month, which offers more comprehensive tools to allow detailed customization of plans to fit an individual’s needs and preferences. Following is a brief description of each:

Nutrihand Basic (free of charge):

Nutrihand Premium ($9.95 per month):

“Nutrihand gives consumers the freedom and flexibility to modify their diet or fitness routines as often as they like and still stay on track with their goals,” said Bittencourt.
