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 YOU Diet is a pretty sensible eating and exercise plan, plus a whole lot more. It not only incorporates healthy eating and exercise advice based on the latest research, but it also stresses the importance of understanding one's biological and emotional self.
Making small changes for long-term health is considered very "fashion forward" in the world of nutrition and is definitely a good thing. This diet sensibly articulates that none of us can expect to be perfect and to make huge changes all at once! As the creators of the diet point out, basketball players are still put in the Hall of Fame for missing 50 percent of their shots - nobody is perfect.
If YOU can eat the same lunch daily, YOU may have a shot on this plan
The pop culture lingo used by the creators of this plan make it fun and interesting to follow. However, many may find the explanations of complex biological processes too boring, and skip understanding the whole "why" part of the diet.
As for the diet itself, if you can stand eating substantially the same meals for breakfast and lunch each day for two weeks, you may be able to train yourself to eat sensibly. However, some may dislike the lack of variety in the outlined meal plans. Additionally, the avoidance of foods with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is much harder than you think. Many, many foods contain HFCS. Start reading food labels when you go shopping, and not only will you be in utter shock, but you will also be spending about double the time at your grocery store!
