| Love it or Hate it |

Some people love eDiets.com and want to shout about it, while others hate it and vow to spread the word. It is however, a good example of a polarizing diet. So, who do we listen to, who is right and who is wrong about this plan? True, this is also the case with many other diets, but eDiets.com has been particularly good at annoying both existing and prospective customers due to their “creative” approach to billing. However, this problem is not related to the dieting itself and if you don’t mind spending some cash, you might have a very good dieting experience. It is Risky financially if the program doesn't suit you, so be a bit carefull with this one. |

The really good part of the diet is the flexibility. eDiets.com is based on the idea that different people need different approaches to dieting and strives to provide alternatives. Those who cannot stick to the eDiets.com eating plan are free to choose the Atkins, The Zone or other eating plans, which are included in the eDiets.com website. Some people find it better to go with a combination of eating plans or simply to make up their diet as they go. We are all different beings so this is a very good idea. On the other hand, dieters don’t get a lot of information on which foods are good and which are bad outside the eating plan.
The really bad part of the eDiets.com is the unfortunate manner in which they handle the financial part of their business. From discounts which are not taken into account, to fees and charges that are not readily apparent during the sign-up process and on to the auto payment deduction that goes on even after one has cancelled the subscription and the staff members who claim they never got any cancellation order, this is one diet you want to be careful about. While it’s true that many clients did not complain about such practices, there is a vocal minority of dieters who had to fight to get their money back from eDiets.com.
In the end you are the judge. If you don’t mind the costs and if you don’t plan on dropping out after a couple of days then you might actually get along with the eating plan and lose a lot of weight. If, on the other hand, you don’t like what they recommend you, then you are going to have some problems with the $25 early cancellation fee, not to mention having to make sure they are not going to charge you again and again after the cancellation.
Only try this if you understand that it can cost a lot of good money and may not be suited to YOU personally. If you don't mind spending to see give it a try but make sure you see it through. Remember, there are alternatives that cost less though.
