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...
Local produce tends to taste better and is fresher, but it seems unnecessary to eliminate certain fruits and vegetables (including mango, pineapple, asparagus, spinach, and avocado) because they are not natural to our environment. Unless you believe in the "science" behind the do's and don'ts of this diet, you will most likely find yourself frustrated trying to follow all of the guidelines.
Choose The Macrobiotic Diet to change your life, not your weight
The Macrobiotic Diet is for someone who believes or wants to believe in the philosophy behind the diet. To follow this diet, you must do more than just change a few food habits. It requires that you completely change your lifestyle - what you eat, how you cook, and where you shop. This plan would be rather difficult to follow, especially if you eat out or travel often.
If you are the cook for your family, you may find that it's difficult to get them to eat the recommended foods. It may also be troubling to discover how much money you are spending on your new way of life. If you are looking to shed some extra pounds, you will find no help here. This plan suggests a way of eating that is certainly not solely aimed at just losing weight.
