Online Diet Programs
Diet.com Weight Loss Review
Of all the online diet programs, Diet.com is one of the few that take
your personality into account when building your meal plan and exercise
routines.
Diet.com was founded by Dr. Robert Kushner,
author of “Dr.
Kushner’s Personality Type Diet”.
You can find this book on
Amazon.com.
The online diet weight loss program version was inspired from
this book.
This site offers lots of information and tools
with
the free membership and the premium membership includes even more.
Foods
With
diet.com, you can complete a free personality eating profile.
This is a 70 question survey to find out your particular eating and
exercising habits, emotional eating concerns and lifestyle.
My
results were; Eating personality is a “swing eater”, exercise
personality is “set routine repeater and coping personality was “people
pleaser”.
These results are very accurate for my lifestyle
and
personality.
The results of the personality eating profile are
then used to build your personal meal plans.
You can join as
a
free online diet program member and receive the results of the
personality profile, but to
receive the meal plans does require a premium membership.
Your meal plan and calorie intake will be based on your weight, age and
profile results.
Exercise
The
fitness plan has exercise strategies that will again be based
on your profile results. You will receive a fitness plan (or
use
the alternative fitness plan) each week.
Their online diet program
includes fitness “cards” where you
can view and print off step by step
instructions on various exercises.
They also have animated
workout demos and an exercise log which you can print off to see your
exercise progress.
There are also various fitness tips
you can read. The fitness tips are included in the free
membership and you can also log your exercises with the free
membership. But to receive the workout plans, you must become
a
premium member.
Support
Support includes blogs, message boards, groups and diet buddies
where you can find people with your similar personalities or
goals.
They also have weight loss challenge groups that you
can
join. All of these support features are part of the free
membership.
Online Diet Program Tools
Diet.com
offers many tools, some that are
included with the free membership.
Tools
included as a free member are; Weight tracking, meal tracking, exercise
tracking and all the support features mentioned above.
Note
that
with the meal tracking, you must input everything manually as you do
not have access to their meal plan and database unless you are a
premium member.
With the premium online diet program membership, you get the above
tools as well as your weekly meal plans, weekly fitness plans and
access to their database to make tracking your weight, meals and
exercising more efficient.
Additionally, you will have access
to
online support from their experts.
Price and Freebies
Diet.com has various prices based on the number of months you sign
up for. The 12 month plan is the best price for the money
with
the price per week at $2.29 plus an initiation fee of $19.95, for a
total of
$139.35 for the year.
All of their diet programs include the 19.95

Freebies on this site with no membership include recipes with
search capabilities, many weight loss and fitness tips, access to some
fitness videos, and the ability to read blog entries. With
the

“tools section”.
Summary
Diet.com is a good program and takes into consideration your
personality on eating and exercising. Their website offers
lots
of information and in fact you can get lost with all the data
available.
If you are a type of person that really
needs a step by step on your meal plan and exercising, I would highly
recommend you get the premium membership. The yearly plan
works
out to be the best price for your money.
This site is a must visit just to check out their freebies as well as
the memberships.
