When I visited www.ediets.com looking for diet and fitness facts, I was slightly overwhelmed with all the links and information. To take full advantage of the well-organized, numerous resources available, allow yourself plenty of time when you visit eDiets.

There are 24 personalized programs featured at eDiets, including the Atkins, Heart Smart Plan, Living with Diabetes Plan, The Mayo Clinic Plan and the New Mediterranean Diet. The website offers a free profile and the opportunity to receive free newsletters about important topics such as fitness, heart health, beauty and motivation. The profile only takes a couple of minutes to complete and lets you know where your current height weight falls in relation to your Body Mass Index and the recommended diet according to eDiets. At this point, you can choose to become a paid member of eDiets and participate in the diet plan to achieve your fitness goals or continue to peruse the website.

The eDiets program has enrolled over 2 million members worldwide and boasts “Best of the Web” in the diet and nutrition category from Forbes Spring 2004 and 2005. The company has been in business since 1997, so it seems to be a reliable way to lose weight. Although I was somewhat disappointed the service was not free after taking a free profile, it does seem to be a viable, safe way to reach your goal weight since it is based on your own personal statistics and offers valuable support such as live chat and forums.
