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...
The Biggest Loser Diet promotes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, which is a healthy way of eating. The fact that there is an option for a customized diet and exercise plan is also a real advantage that will help people achieve long-term success. However, one red flag with this diet is that it recommends very few calories (even less than 1200 in some cases). This is quite low and may not be healthy, especially with the diet’s exercise recommendations.
You don’t have to join the competition to lose weight…
While the plan is easier to stick with using the online tools, it will cost about $5.00 per week. If you opt to only use the book version of the plan, you may find it annoying to count calories and serving sizes without the online tools. The meal plans are also full of many more elaborate recipes, which will lead to longer shopping lists and more time in the kitchen.
If exercise is not your thing, this exercise program may seem daunting. There is no skimping on your workouts, since the goal is to do 200-300 minutes of cardio per week. The plan does provide specific exercise regimens for all fitness levels from beginners to the more advanced.
With all this exercise and low calories restrictions, some dieters may find they are very hungry. With restrictions below 1200 calories for dieters weighing 170 calories or less paired with an intensive exercise program, you will probably end up with hunger pangs and possible lightheadedness.
