THE CONCEPT
The WebMD Diet Clinic is a diet plan run by the WebMD website,
an online source for tons and tons of health information provided
by real physicians. They have taken their reputation for health
advice and applied it to a diet plan, run completely off of their
website, with users forming accounts and logging in for their
dieting plans and advice.
THE PLAN
The plan for this diet is simple enough - you create a profile,
which includes a step where you answer several questions regarding
your body, your current eating habits, the foods you prefer to
eat, your weight loss and management goals - then the experts
on their staff will determine a plan of action, with daily meal
plans being provided, and from there your progress is tracked,
and modifications to your diet can be made based on your preliminary
results.
One great aspect to this diet is that while on it, you are learning
to modify your eating habits so once they are not telling you
exactly what you should be eating, you will still be capable of
managing your weight.
A negative aspect is that when not following the plan, it will
be easier to fall back into old habits. Users become very dependant
on the program to keep them in check, and when not being taken
through the diet anymore, you might not have assimilated the eating
tactics developed in the plan.
