Considering Doing "Cyber-Dieting"?
Greetings!
Cyber-dieting has been going on for a couple of years already. The idea is that, instead of going to physical meetings, or attending to weight loss classes, or even instead of physically going to a personal trainer, you subscribe to a diet program online, and do what you must from the comfort of your own home.
Anyone could see that one comming as technology allowed websites to become interactive with its visitors.
A recent Canadian article discusses this trend (click here to check it out, a new window will open).
The author outlines how the "Hi Tech" approach makes it possible for technically saavy people to access all of this information and resources from the internet, and even from PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants like Palm or Pocket PC), making this information and resources totally portable and convenient.
A couple of weeks ago I spotted a free service where you could track your weight loss progress. The concept was good, but the free resources were very limited. To obtain the full benefit of that site, you have to pay a subscription fee. Join the cue... everybody else and his/her dog is doing that. ;-)
Of course, the quality of the services will also vary. And the old adage that you get what you pay for does not necessarely apply in cyberspace. Sometimes you may pay the same amount from one service to another, and yet get better service in one, and not in the other.
So, if you're thinking about doing the cyber-dieting thing, do your homework, and see if other people are happy with the service.
Do a bit of homework first, checking resources, and deciding (on the basis of your research) which service is more appropriate for you.
Alternatively, you may wait for me to do my mini-guide comparing such services... ;-)
Yours in Health,
Skinny Jeff
