Why online diets are popular

An online diet plan is flexible to use and with most plans consisting of an online forum community with etools to calculate and record weight loss online dieters can log in whenever they wish as convenient to them to keep up to speed with their diet plan.

Conclusions
Weight Watchers
Scores well due to the popularity and longevity of the diet. Good online system and support however weight loss is aimed at more longer rather than shorter term substantial weight loss. Good for an overall eating plan.

Sainsbury’s diet
Relatively cheap with good rate of weight loss however the diet plan is not personalized to each dieter.

Jenny Craig
Expensive but the cost includes food. Can be fiddly to follow with food deliveries and restricted to the diet plan foods mainly. Given the cost and inconvenience the projected weight loss could be higher than the anticipated average.
Dukan diet
No subscription of joining fee the cost is based on the costs of food which you buy yourself. Rather restrictive diet but good online assistance and weight loss projections.

Fitium
Newcomer on the online diet scene therefore track record yet t be established. However the cost is relatively cheap especially if you opt for the year member shop at £98.50 equating to £1.89 per week it is worth a shot. Good weight loss anticipated.
