Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
8 Minutes in the Morning has reasonable exercise and diet recommendations that are not difficult to follow. The diet component is based on "everything in moderation." While healthy foods are encouraged, the plan does not restrict certain food groups, realizing such strict guidelines are only doable for the short-term.
The daily visualizations and idea of enlisting friends as a support team may not be for everyone, but I think you can still see results without participating in these components. You can also become an online member with access to benefits such as online support from Jorge and other members, daily eating tips, and daily meal plans with easy to make recipes (including fast food and frozen food). This is a nice component of the plan, since having a place to turn to for support or advice can make the difference between success and failure on a program.
Can you find 8 Minutes in the Morning?
The exercises are not too challenging and 8 minutes is not a long time to commit to. You don't even need to join a gym! Having to exercise in the morning may be challenging for some, but keep in mind it's only 8 minutes. The diet portion is also reasonable, since no food groups are eliminated and you are not required to prepare time consuming recipes.
You can easily perform the exercises when you travel, since not much equipment is needed. Hand weights are recommended for some programs, but you can also improvise with water bottles. Eating out and with your family should not be a problem either, since all foods are allowed and you can watch portion sizes without involving the whole family.
