Ever wonder how they can offer these free weight loss programs when others cost money?  

Well, every website has costs associated with it for building and maintaining it. Even my site has costs associated with it.

Therefore, free sites must generate revenue from somewhere in order to sustain it's future.  Websites can generate money various ways.  

For most of these free weight loss plans, they generate revenue through advertisers or selling a product or a combination of both.



Regardless of how they generate their revenue, the end result to you is a free weight loss program.  But this will help explain why you see almost all free websites with "advertisements" on their sites.  It's what helps generate their revenue so that they can continue to be free to you, the consumer.



Top Free Weight Loss Programs

Sparkpeople.com #1

Sparkpeople.com is an amazing totally free weight loss plan that has all the same features as many of the other successful online weight loss plans.  The tools include weight tracking, tracking your water intake, daily meal plans, fitness plans and tracking reports.

You can modify the meal plan by adding, deleting or substituting foods in the suggested plan.  Similarly, you can modify the exercise plan by adding strength training or cardio exercises.


Their best tool is the Sparkpoints.  These are great motivators to keep you on track and helps walk you through the steps to track and monitor your progress. They also have communities you can join for support and motivation.  Check out sparkpeople.com if you want to see more about their free weight loss plans.

This is for adults only.  For free weight loss for teens, check out their Sparkteens.com.  Same great tools and totally free.



Fitday.com #2

This is another totally free weight loss program.  It also offers the ability to track weight, find and record foods and activities.  


It does not give you meal plans or fitness plans but you can record what you eat and which exercises you do and for how long.

Best tool on the site is their FitdayPC software.  This does cost $29.95. They are currently running a special if you are a Fitday.com member to get this software for only $19.95.

It gives you all the same features as their online version plus more reports and graphs.  The main advantage to having the software is that you can record and track whenever you need to and not have to worry about logging online.  Depending on your computer, it will generally run faster than the free online weight loss plan version.

Visit fitday.com to find out more about their program.


Dietbug.com #3

This is a free weight loss program as well but is for women only.  This site offers the ability to track food, exercising and more.  You can select the foods from the suggested meal plan, delete items or swap for different foods.  They also have a place to track the water you drink.

Once you complete your exercise preferences (i.e. when you want to do strength training and aerobics) you can then view your daily exercise plan. You can also delete or change anything from this proposed exercise plan.

They also have a message board, weight loss challenges and a points reward system (similar to sparkpeople) for support and motivation.

The best tool was their graphic view of your progress.  It shows the current calorie intake, calories burned during exercise and your current calorie deficit or overage.

Drawbacks - This site is very pushy with their advertising revenue and in fact when I joined I had to select at least one advertiser before I could complete the registration.  Also, each time I log in, it asks me again to visit the advertiser. Lastly, I felt they asked for too much personal information that is not needed to join an online program.  

But the site is free and does offer the right tools and information for a successful free weight loss program.  Check out dietbug.com to learn more.

Free-online-health.com #4

dumbbell weightsThis is another free weight loss plan that will provide a meal plan and fitness routine.  With the meal plan, you can select a food item to see the recipe but there is no way to substitute a food item.  

Also, there is no method for tracking or checking off what you have eaten.  Best suggestion would be to print the page and then cross off or highlight as you go.

The free weight loss program provides fitness plans and presents you with different strength training exercises that you can log how many reps and the weight (in kg) you used.  Also, if you click on an exercise it will take you to some illustrations and text instructions on how to perform the exercise.

Note that when you join, you are actually directed to a different website (trainingdiary).  I was not able to figure out how to add or log any aerobic exercises, so am assuming you have to track this yourself.

The website does offer some calculators (BMI, BMR, etc.).  Overall it's a good site and provides you with tools you need.

Their initial website, free-online-health.com does offer free tips, a forum and articles.


Be sure to check out the online diet reviews.  There are a couple of sites that offer virtually free weight loss programs as their prices are very low.
