Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
The DASH Diet can help dieters prevent high blood pressure, as well as adopt a healthier lifestyle. It is a plan with solid scientific evidence to back it up! Lowering blood pressure can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. From a nutritional standpoint, there is no down side to following this plan. It is safe and has the potential to be very effective. For more information check out the National Institute of Health website
If you can shake the salt habit, you can lose weight and lower your blood pressure?
The DASH Diet is a very practical plan. Dieters that currently eat foods that are high in sodium may have more difficulty adjusting at first. In addition, those that are not used to consuming large amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grains may experience some gastrointestinal distress (such as bloating and stomach aches) when they first adopt this plan. This is one of the reasons why dieters are encouraged to start slowly and implement dietary and exercise changes in small steps. This plan is meant to be followed for a lifetime; it is very flexible and can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of any dieter.
