I used E-Diets for about a year and it's a money vacuum. Not to mention that they are the kings of spam!
I bought a book on the Mediterranean Diet that came with menu plans. I chose The Omega Diet by Artemis Simopoulos. She is Greek, so her recipes have a little Greek touch. She gives menues for 1200, 1500 and 2000 calorie levels. After the first week I am down 4 1/2 pounds at 1500, even though I went over a few days. I set my goal at 1600 and track in FitDay. I am always on the lookout for more Mediterranean menu plans. I have BigOven cooking software, so I am working on importing the meals from all I can find (a slow and tedious process, admittedly, if you want BigOven to track colores). But then I can mix and match my own weekly menues and BigOven will generate a shopping list to match. There are other recipe programs that will do the same.
I got my weight training workout for free on the web,
www.stumptuous.com has some, so does About.com and other places. Then I just get on the treadmill at home. And I come here for support boards. Who needs E-Diets?
I just thought it was interesting that they suddenly decided to offer the Mediterranean Diet. Is it now becoming fashionable? They don't do anything unless they figure they will make some bucks on it.
