eDiets

eDiets is the largest online weight loss program. They have built such a large brand, that many people even think the name "e diets" is a generic term for online weight loss. Founded in 1996, they now boast over 1.3 million members. They have consistently won awards and recommendations from such prestigious publications as Time magazine, and Forbes Best of the Web.

eDiets are a subscription-based service, where the user pays quarterly. For the price you receive a number of services; customized diet and meal plans, shopping list, recipes (for whatever is on your meal plan), email assistance, and access to online tools and calculators.

They recently changed their subscription structure, and access to their award-winning community and support groups is a separately billed feature (called eDiets Solutions).

eDiets Nutrition and Diet Plans

eDiets offer a bewildering array of diet plans. They began with their own plan, simply called eDiets Weight Loss Diet - essentially a calorie-controlled nutritionally balanced plan.

Over the past few years they have added a number of plans (subject to change), and are always adding more. Here is a sampling of the diets that they may offer;

• Glycemic Impact Diet
• Mediterranean Diet
• Atkins Nutritional Approach
• eDiets.com Weight Loss Plan
• Bill Phillips’ Eating For Life
• Slim-Fast Optima Diet
• The Perricone Nutritional Face-lift
• Living with Type 2 Diabetes Diet
• Heart Smart Diet (based off the AHA plan)
• Low Sugar
• Low Sodium
• High Fiber
• Lactose Free
• Low-Fat
• Healthy Soy
• Vegetarian
• Cholesterol Lowering

The number of plans is overwhelming, but if you are simply looking to lose weight, then eDiets have a Diet Needs Analysis survey. This asks a number of questions, and will then come up with the best choices for weight loss.

Within these plans you are allowed to change individual food items (for example, if you were allergic to nuts). You are also allowed to change plans at anytime.

Successful Weight Loss?

eDiets has built an enormous brand based on successful weight loss. There are many success stories. They do advertise extensively, and have a huge opt-in newsletter that they make heavy use of.

The combination of nutrition and food choices make them a good choice if you need help organizing your eating plans.
