Like Weight Watchers, eDiets is a complete weight loss weight loosing program, more than a food and exercise diary. In fact, it really doesn’t allow much in the way of entering your own foods into a database. Instead, it features a wide variety of meal plans based on 19 different diet choices, as well as fitness weight loosing programs based on two different fitness solutions.
eDiets also includes message boards, an online e-zine with the latest health and fitness news, and a wide variety of other health-related information.
Because 20 different options might be intimidating to some of us, eDiets recommends a weight loosing program for you based on the results of their Diet Needs Analysis questionnaire. Once you select a diet, eDiets creates a meal plan for you based on your food preferences and needs. The meal plans come complete with recipes and shopping lists so you can take your shopping list to the grocery store and get all the foods you need for a week.
The rest of the eDiets home page shows all of the features of eDiets.com, which include reviews of health-related products, articles from a variety of publications, including Harvard Medical School’s Harvard Health publications and Psychology Today magazine, columns from a variety of experts, recipes, meetings, support groups, a fitness log, and member tools for counting calories and carbs. There’s also an always-available live online help desk and a mentor weight loosing program to help people lose weight. It’s like an online health and fitness club. I’ll focus on the support aspects of eDiets.com in Chapter 3.
eDiets has been recognized by a variety of publications as one of the best sites on the Web. More than 225,000 people are members of eDiets, which costs between $1.99 and $6.99 per week to belong. Another 13 million people regularly receive one of eDiet’s electronic newsletters, which offer a variety of health-related information to end users for free.
For those who only want support and who want to do their meal planning elsewhere, eDiets offers eDiets Solutions, which provides all of eDiets’ support services for $1.99 per week. Also, a sister site of eDiets.com is eFitness.com, which is geared more toward men. A new feature of the site tackles the problem of childhood obesity. eDiets worked with Melinda Southern, an expert on childhood obesity who developed the Trim Kids weight loosing program. Although the weight loosing program is for parents, it can help children develop healthier eating and exercise habits, which is very important in this day of PlayStations, fast food, and scheduled play dates instead of going outside and playing every day.
