Diet
Watch
Diet Watch has been a leader in online dieting for over ten
years. They have online tools for tracking calories, fat,
carbs, exercise and weight. They are one of the first to offer a
complete online weight loss diet program and have had over 1
million
visitors to their site since it launched in 1999.
Read the complete weight loss review below to see what they offer.
Food
Diet Watch offers 4 different meal plans to choose from with their
online diet program.
Reduced Carb
The reduced carbohydrate plan is not a severe carb restriction like the
Atkins diet. This meal plan reduces carb intake to 40% of
total calories. So if you are looking to reduce carbs this is
a great meal plan.
|
No
Restrictions
The no restrictions meal plan is a healthy well balanced meal plan and
is most suited for people who do not have specific dietary restrictions
|
Heart Healthy
/ Mediterranean
This meal plan is geared towards reducing saturated and trans fats and
focuses on incorporating the good fats such as monounsaturated and
polyunsaturated fats. They add a Mediterranean flare to this
meal plan. |
Vegetarian
This vegetarian diet does include dairy products and eggs, so not for
the Vegans. This meal plan is designed for those who do not
consume meat, chicken or fish. The menu includes a variety of
soy foods and meat substitutes. |

You can also select not to have a Dietwatch meal plan, but use their
tracking tools to track your special diet. These options
include; reduced carb diet, reduced calorie diet or create your own
diet.
Lastly, with their online diet program you select the calorie intake
level for your meal
plan. Once you have selected from the 4 meal plans and your
calorie intake, you are presented with your daily meal plan.
You can choose to replace any food item presented in you
plan.
Exercise
Their online diet program also gives you an exercise plan which you can
personalize by
selecting your preference of various aerobic exercises (examples are
walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc.).
The strength training has beginner and intermediate levels, however,
all strength training exercises here are with weights, so if you don’t
have access to a weight bench, try using resistance bands or dumbbell
weights.
They also have a “flexibility plan” with various stretching
exercises. There are some illustrations, but mostly just text
that explains how
to do each exercise – no videos.
Support
Dietwatch offers online support with their online weight loss program.
The online support includes blogs, discussion boards, chat
rooms,
messages, “my friends” where you can invite other members to be your
friend. Lastly, they have a success story section to give you
additional motivation and support.
Emotional
Eating
Emotional
eating is addressed with their “Mastering Food”
program. This is a 12 week course that addresses your
emotional eating habit. This 12 week interactive guided
session does cost extra.
Cost is $34.99 for the first 4
weeks. Once the 4 week session is completed, you will have
the option of purchasing additional lessons.

Tools
The online tools include logging meals, exercises, weight,
measurements, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose. There
is a journal where you can log any notes or thoughts as well.
My favorite tool is their shopping list. Once you have
updated your meal plan for the week, you can select shopping list and
print out what groceries you need. As mentioned above, you
also get a personalized exercise program.
Price
Price is $2.99 per week. If you purchase a yearly membership,
the price per week works out to be only $1.49 per week, or $77.50 for
the year. This is a very reasonably priced online diet plan.
Freebies
You can take a free Diet profile which will give you your calorie
intake and some nutritional information. There is a free “Top
7 tips” PDF file, some success stories you can read and a daily
tip. Beyond this, I did not find much else for free.
Summary

|
Diet
Watch has all the components of a successful weight loss program;
healthy meals, exercises, support and tools. For the price
and what they offer, this is my second choice for the best weight loss
plan and the number one choice for the top online diet programs.
