      Spam.  The site isn't reviewing anything, just basically advertising   
   various weight loss sites.  Reviews are descriptions that rate a product   
   or service, not just describe and link to it.  The site does have a few   
   calculators and charts, such as a BMI calculator and height weigh chart,   
   but these can be found at many other sites as well.  The calorie burned   
   calculator is pretty lame, no cardio machines listed, for example.  And   
   it gives working out at the gym, but people doing different things at a   
   gym are going to be burning calories as vastly different rates.   
      
       My guess is that Expert Software Systems (nice name, btw, makes you   
   seem like a real person, not a corporate spammer!) is the author of the   
   site, and is getting paid to list the various programs listed there.   
   Rather than just being honest and saying "Hey, check out my site, it   
   might help you," he/she/it is using the old "I just found a great diet   
   site that really helped me" line.  Cause you know, fat people are way   
   too stupid to notice this sort of thing.
