Instead, it’s focused on tried and true sensible methods of weight control that help people lose weight and keep it off, helping people learn how to adopt a healthier lifestyle. According to Beth Hubrich, M.S., R.D., CaloriesCount Health and Nutrition Director, what dis- tinguishes CaloriesCount from other weight loss Web sites is that it is “anti-diet.” “Diets are doomed to failure because they don’t teach people how to adopt sensible eating habits for life and don’t motivate them to maintain healthier, active lifestyles,” she explains. “Our approach is consistent with the recommendations of respected health and medical organizations for safe, effective weight management, and at a price set only to cover our costs.” With registered dietitians and obesity experts working behind the scenes, memberscan participate for less than the cost of similar sites.
