Features:

Diet.com is an online weight loss information and support destination for everyday dieters. We believe that information is power and peer support is the key to long–term healthy weight loss. That’s why we strive to provide the most comprehensive diet information available online as well as a strong community support platform.

Diet.com features a lifestyle–based weight loss program based on Dr. Robert Kushner’s Personality Type Diet. Our program centers on the belief – “Give someone a diet and her weight will eventually bounce back. Teach one to diet and she will maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.” Therefore, we seek to understand our users’ specific lifestyle and personality needs and give them the structure they need to develop a healthy new weight loss routine at their own pace. In short, we provide a set of personalized lifestyle guidelines to use as one’s launch pad to permanent weight loss.

Diet.com provides a platform for real dieters to provide unbiased reviews on diet products and their proven diet tips. Everyday consumers are bombarded with conflicting information and myths about what diet products work and what don’t. They are also interested in learning from their peers about specific strategies for managing their weight given their unique lifestyles and personal situations. Our user–supported review and opinion approach will bring great fairness and effectiveness to diet information.

Diet.com offers one of the most comprehensive online support communities for everyday dieters. The Diet.com support network allows users to buddy up with experts, find other peers with similar personality/diet patterns (i.e., with similar challenges), and form support groups to meet online or locally offline in face–to–face settings. Diet.com members are also encouraged to utilize discussion boards to share their personal progress, struggles, and triumphs in a safe and enjoyable environment. The support boards are actively moderated by weight loss experts and dietitians as well as volunteers who are on their own personal weight loss journey.

In addition, Diet.com organizes weight loss challenges every 12 weeks throughout the year to keep members motivated and bring excitement to their weight loss experience. Challenge participants are offered weekly motivation awards and daily tips. At the end of each weight loss challenge, individuals who have made significant progress and demonstrated an unfailing commitment will receive cash and membership prizes from Diet.com.
