Has anyone tried Ediets.com? Does it work?

Answer 1

I have tried calorieking.com...which is like Ediets...basically what you do is count the calories you consume on the net precisely, and then exercise a certain amount of calories thus, resulting in a net worth of calories and weight loss. The best way to do it is to eat low fat foods, lots of fruits and veggies and drink plenty of water and then exercise regularly. So if you eat about 1200 calories a day, and then workout for 400 calories you have consumed 800 calories. If you keep this up by the end of one week you will have burnt 2000 calories (if you exercise for 5 days) and this is almost half way to losing a pound. You have to burn about 3000 to 3500 calories in order to lost a pound, and so if you keep this up you will lose weight and Ediets or calorieking.com helps you monitor you calorie intake and calorie output to give you a steady scale which helps you monitor how you are doing in weight loss.

Hi, I've been helping people stay healthy for a bit more than two decades (20 years) and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance.

Many diet plans, commercial as well as homemade, can help a person get on the right track (i.e., eating better and exercising more), but most lack the ability to truly be customized to your physiological needs. Thus, they work for awhile but then quit working. Unfortunately, while Ediets does work for some people, it fails quite a few people also. I have a number of clients who have used the basics of this program (Ediets) along with the Zone and Sugar Busters and they've done okay as long as they stick with some general guidelines for good weight health.

If you want to lose weight in a healthy manner, keep the following in mind:

1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.

2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Splitting the amount of calories you can have per day into 5 - 6 smaller meals will help tremendously (this keeps your body fueled and ready to go and you also know that your next meal is only a couple of hours away).

Knowing what your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is will certainly help you determine how to be calorie conscious. Also remember that you may need supplements to help things along.

3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.

4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).

5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.

6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).

7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay.

8) Lastly, remember that you're doing a WONDERFUL thing for your body.

Keep up the good work. I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.

As for what to take (if anything), that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level. If you want to learn more about what you might want to take and how to calculate your BMR, you can visit my site (below).

Any questions, don't hesitate to write and ask.

I know this works. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way you have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. So you are a victim of this pandemic (epidemic). You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin.
