eDiets is the largest online weight loss plan. 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.

eDiets changed a major upgrade at the beginning of 2008 - unfortunately technical issues meant that there were customer service issues. These have now been rectified and the subscription process is now streamlined.

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
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.

There is a single subscription price ($4.49 per week). This also includes access to a complete fitness program (along with videos and 3D animations). This component used to be charged out separately.

Successful Weight Loss?

eDiets has built an tremendous 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 makes them a good choice if you need help organizing your eating plans.

eDiets also introduced their own nationwide meal delivery plan which makes the diet very easy to follow (delivered meals however are significantly more expensive).
