eDiets Review

 

eDiets is an online subscription-based weight loss company that offers a variety of inexpensive diet plans. A subscription or membership to eDiets includes daily menu plans, a 3-D virtual personal trainer for a wide range of exercises, over 100 online support groups and message boards, and personalized support from trained counselors and nutritionists. Also included is 24/7 access to eDiets website and its wealth of information regarding nutrition and recipes, exercise options, personal motivation and general lifestyle change.

eDiets originated as a low-fat weight loss program based on the the recommendations of the American Dietetic Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Guide Pyramid, but it has expanded its offerings to alternative nutrition plans including the Atkins Diet, Glycemic Impact Diet, Mediterranean, Body for Life/Eating for Life, Slim Fast "Optima", vegetarian, low-cholesterol and many others. eDiets also now has its own non-frozen, fresh meal delivery service (formerly called "Deliciously Yours" and eDiets "Express") .

An eDiets membership costs $4.49/week, which makes it less expensive than most of the competition (Don't be fooled by the slick advertising and pricing of most diet programs. Pay attention to the small print and additional offerings that are more-or-less required purchases in the future such as food, supplements, energy bars, shakes, etc...)

eDiets has had some issues with its website in early 2008, but the problems have since been corrected. We are not fans of the alternative nutrition plans beyond the simple, balanced nutrition offered in the namesake "eDiets Plan" , but the choices are there. No other weight loss strategy is more effective in the long term than a sensible, informed and independent approach where you are the boss. eDiets offers just such a strategy. It's inexpensive, convenient and represents a marked improvement on traditional programs. Learn more
