i followed ediets back in 2001 and i fell in love with it...back then they only had their own diet plan which was good. At the time i was a college student living with my parents and had plenty of time to exercise (no husband, no kids, no job, no problem) I liked their convenience plan which was precooked meals you could buy from the grocery store...i lost 35 lbs in 6 months (with exercise of course) it sounds like a little bit of weight but since i was exercise i gained muscle which weighs more than fat BUT...i went from a size 16 to a size 10 which was pretty awesome....

I love ediets b/c nothing is carved in stone. Don't like a meal? Change it. Don't like an exercise? Change it. It's easy and simple to use and you check in once a week by yourself in the privacy of your own home, not surrounded by other people so you can die of embarrasment when they see you gained a pound that week. I love teh resources they have and the menus. They are very helpful and encouraging to me. But mostly, I like the fact that it's more private since weight is a private issue to me.
Love this diet.

I have enjoyed using ediets. I have even spoken to a live nutritionist to help me with my diet. I think I have finally found a diet that I can stick to. It is a very motivating site.

I've been on the Ediets weight loss plan for about 3 months now and it works great! The recipes are very easy to prepare, and it's actually saved me money on food - saving more than ediets costs per week! The support group feature is also great, as it's good to get tips and encouragement from fellow dieters. Definitely a satisfied customer.
I had a terrible experience with customer service. I placed my order, then found that they would not be able to deliver on the regular Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, but instead would only deliver on Wednesday. I requested to either have my order delivered on Tuesday or canceled. This was all communicate well over a week before shipping. They refused to make any modification, emphasizing that the "terms and conditions" state that no cancellations are permitted for the first order.! Fishy?! I had no prior notice of the change in the shipping schedule before I placed my order. It took two business days before they even responded to my email. "24 hour live chat" was not available on three week days in the early evening. Supervisors were not available when I called and I was told I would receive a return call within 15 minutes, but instead close to closing hours, a voicemail message was left for me. My advice, BUYER BEWARE!
I have not been able to enter the ediet website.
Summer - Only 20 diets? That's a pretty big variety for me :) Anyway, eDiets has been great so far, and definitely worth the small weekly cost. I find that their recipe planning shopping list actually saves me money on groceries since I stick to it and don't buy more than I need. No more spoiled food in the fridge!
I just got off the phone for the second time with Ediets.com and I would have to say DO NOT USE THEM! After 5 weeks of being on the meal delivery program, they stopped sending me the meals, yet continued to charge my card. When I called customer service, I was told they never charged me, then charged me again and never sent the food. I finally told them to cancel my membership. I am still trying to get all the money refunded to me that they took and never provided me with food.
eDiets has blewn it big time! I was a member from 2002 until 2008 and I loved the recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists you could edit. They revamped the Website on Feb 12, 2008 and it still isn't working, nearly 2 months later! The meal plans print in a teeny tiny font you can't see without reader glasses. The shopping list appeared, uneditable, and reappeared editable, but it disappeared again on Mar 12 and it hasn't come back yet. There is no one there in the live chat. If you email them, you get an auto-reply and then nothing. I have emailed and called with poor satisfaction. I finally called to cancel and they said I had already cancelled in January! I didn't! I am still being billed monthly. I wrote a letter and mailed it. I hope they cancel me soon and this is over. SparkPeople.com is VERY cool and it's free, so I am losing weight there now.
I tried this diet for 4 weeks. Some weeks they sent the food late. Another week they just didn't send it at all. They are impossible to reach by phone. I've had to hold for almost an hour every time I try to call. They said they were having technical difficulties, causing the mailing problems and that this is in turn impacting the phones. I don't really care. I signed up so I wouldn't have to think about my diet.
Oooh! I like this already! Just four bucks and they give you all of that? I love that it has recipes and grocery lists that always makes it so much easier. One less thing to stress over.
very cool. i think it all sounds great except that there are only 20 diets? Obviously there are more than that, doesn't seem like it offers alot of variety.
i lost 20 lbs with e diets but i gained it all back once i went off.
Where has ediets gone. I have tried for the last 2 days to access the ediet site. At first I thought I'd made an error, then I realized that it just wasn't available. They say on the site (if you don't get an 404 error) that they are doing maintenence. I am concerned. Have they gone under?
I just saw their commercial on cable television and thought I'd give them a try. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same results when trying to access their on line web site???? Wonder where they went??
the site has majically reappeared. And it looks new - must have launched a new site
