I was shocked to learn that EDiets.com has over 860,000 members in their network right now, yet I had never checked it out. Clearly with a group of customers that large they must be doing something right and the more I looked in to their program I can definitely see why so many people are having success with their program.
The EDiets program puts together a diet plan specific to your needs based on your current weight, age, etc and lets you customize it to your liking. They give you a range of calories that you need to stay within if you want to lose weight. I know a lot of men (especially me!) have trouble limiting calories with all those junk food options, but the plan is really simple.
The program lets you add or subtract foods you like, don’t like or are allergic to… after all, if a diet calls for something specific like broccoli and you don’t like broccoli you won’t stick with it will you? When you are more able to customize your meal list you are more able to stick with it because it’s something that you chose. You may even find food items you never knew you could eat on a diet.
EDiets features an extensive support network to help keep their clients motivated and focused. Personally I’m not a big fan of in person meetings which is one of the reasons why I never went to Weight Watchers for Men meetings, but EDiets support network is online with things like interactive chat groups, message boards and a support staff that is available 24/7 to keep you targeted should you ever feel like giving up.
One of the things we liked best about EDiets is the price, it’s really one of the least expensive diets for men that we have listed. You can join the program for around $35 for 3 months (price valid at time this was written) which only amounts to around 39 cents a day. It’s certainly much cheaper than Medifast for men, (though you wont see the dramatically quick weight loss either) but EDiets will teach you HOW to eat and how to stick with it for the long term whereas diets like Medifast are more of a short term solution.
