I find a great deal of user information using Epinions and frequently peruse the site to get reviews from real people.  Epinions is ideal because it is not biased on comments and allows people to post how they really feel.

Here are a few tips on using ediets that I recommend:

Be sure you read the terms and conditions before signing up.  Ask questions and call them up.  Be sure you understand what you'll be getting. Most unsatisfied users are dissatisfied because they didn't understand the terms and conditions of a program they are joining.

Go in with the attitude that you want to change your habits and focus on learning and incorporating those new habits for permanent, life long weight maintenance.

The idea here is find a healthy eating lifestyle and reward yourself with your favorite treats from time to time without going overboard. Make the healthy meals and snacks part of your lifestyle.

The Ediets 24/7 website offers a wealth of information on food, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle change, chat rooms, counselors and nutritionists, and a free diet profile.
