Anne Collins
Nutritionist brings more than two decades of experience to the dinner table.
BACKGROUND
A low-carb diet that claims there are "no gimmicks," "no false promises" and plenty of "personal support," the Anne Collins Diet says it offers one of the easiest ways to lose weight. For a quarter-century, Anne Collins has provided weight-loss advice to 250,000 people around the world. She's been a certified nutritionist since the early '80s and has worked as a diet consultant, nutritionist and has contributed to newspapers and magazines.
Anne doesn't hide the fact that her program doesn't offer anything new, unprecedented or revolutionary. She even says that everything you find in her diet can be found in others. She says it's motivation and keeping you from going hungry that are the keys to success on the Anne Collins Diet. There aren't any foods that are off-limits. Anne says that sometimes we all need to indulge in the things we truly enjoy.
To ensure that there is a plan that works for everyone, Anne Collins presents nine different diet plans approved by doctors:

DIET and NUTRITION
Caloric intake, good and bad foods, recipes, meal plans and snacks will all vary according to which of the nine Anne Collins Diets you choose.
While most meal plans are balanced and nutritious, many meal suggestions include popular fast-food like McDonald's and Pizza Hut.
Some meal examples include:
- Low GI Diet Lunch
Grilled Ham & Swiss on Rye with fruit - Cholesterol Lowering Diet Dinner
Stir-fried Chicken Breast with Vegetables and Rice - 10-Minute Meals Diet Lunch

EXERCISE
Anne Collins Diet provides conflicting information about exercise. As a member, you'll receive exercise advice. It is likely this is high-level information that is not customized. However, the member benefits state that you'll receive tips on how not to exercise and suggest that even for obese individuals they will see results with or without exercise.
CONCLUSION
There is a lot about the Anne Collins Diet that is unclear. The website is not user-friendly, making it difficult for people shopping a new diet to find information they need. There is not one specific Anne Collins Diet. Members are allowed to select from nine choices for an option that best suits them. However, there are not any profile tools to help identify the best-suited plan for members. At a price point of only $20/year, the program is affordable and claims to offer its members a broad range of tools, hanging its hat on motivation.

did you guys really tried this diet or are you just posting things?
it is the best one yet for me! i need the encouragement it gives and have met many who are trying to lose weight...to date i have lost approx 36 pounds in 8 months!
The diet is amazing so far i have lost 80 punds and it keeps falling off.
great diet, lost 60 pounds
please tell us which one you tired and how did you stop feeling hungry? Being hungry is my biggest downfall. All of the diets I've seen/tried have left me starving. Of course you will lose weight if you only eat one slice of ham and one slice of brown bread for lunch! But you will be STARVING afterwards!
this is amazing! I lost 12 lbs the first month on her program. you've got to check it out!!!!!!!!
