When you go through the sign up
process at eDiets you will find
they are quit commercial based.
There are a lot of graphic ads
and you can purchase just about
anything from their site. They
also offer an extensive shopping
section where you can buy
fitness equipment and beauty
products among other things.
Normally this would be a turn
off but what offsets this
commercial entity is the
incredible amount of quality
content they have published.
They have doctors, writers,
nutritionists publishing
multiple articles on their site
every day. Most of the
information is subscription
only, but sometimes it’s worth
paying a little bit of money for
that extra support.
Free Diet Profile
eDiets begins with a free diet
profile, which is meant to
assess your current condition
and then will provide you with
recommendations. After
completing your profile, you can
go ahead and subscribe (paying
by credit card). Their
subscription prices at first can
be a bit confusing. You have the
option of selecting from varying
options ( the diet plan, a
fitness component, and eDiets
solutions – which seems to be
access to their forums,
registered dietitians, and other
content, there is also the
eDiets Recipe Club). The diet
portion of the plan worked out
to be about $2.99 per week.
What Makes eDiets Different?
One of the largest differences
between eDiets and their
competition is the vast array of
popular diet programs available;
as well as the basic eDiets
Weight Loss program. The options
of popular diets include: The
Atkins Diet, Blood Type Diet,
Perricone, Slim Fast, and many
more. You can change your plan
at any time or mix and match
various meal and menu options.
The message boards and forums at
eDiets have been considered as
the industries very best. As far
as fitness component, eDiets
offer two fitness based programs
– their own efitness product,
and Get With the Program, an
excellent program written by
Oprah Winfrey’s former trainer
Bob Greene.
Opinions
eDiets plat out work. If you do
your research on various opinion
sites you will find that people
have lost weight with eDiets,
and the bad reviews are often
rare if not impossible to find.
The tools they offer are very
good. If you know what you want
to do (Example: You want to
follow the Mayo Clinic program),
then eDiets is the perfect means
to do this. Menu plans, meals,
recipes, motivation, these will
all help you succeed with
whatever plan you choose.
However, if you’re unsure about
exactly how you are going to
lose weight, you may find that
eDiets can be a bit overwhelming
– and that something like
DietWatch may be easier for you
to handle. |
