Online weight loss plans are web based fitness programs designed to help participants lose weight. They usually include assistance in the areas necessary for weight loss. For example, weight loss information, goal setting, progress tracking, meal and workout planning, and personal support from personal trainers or fitness coaches. This way of losing weight is fast becoming a distinct weight loss method.
Online weight loss plans are usually interactive programs that provide the user with diet information, workout routines, meal planning, goal tracking, and feedback. Web-based programs usually attempt to incorporate all of these areas and customize them for a particular user. The user will usually fill out a questionnaire before proceeding. The questionnaire will contain information such as current eating patterns, fitness levels and goals.
A personalized meal plan and workout program are usually created for the user. A unique feature of these programs is the use of online tools to track improvements, and to log workout and diet information. The idea behind these tracking tools is that by tracking fitness, a person can make more progress by aiming for and meeting regular fitness goals. Programs range in price from the very basic, which may cost $20 a month, to highly customized programs created by celebrity fitness experts; these programs can cost in excess of $400 a month. There are also free Web-based programs. While they usually provide access to online tools, they may not provide any customized plans.
Online weight loss plans usually contain some of these elements:
- Weekly Shopping Lists
- Workout routines and meal plans
- Regular support from a fitness coach or personal trainer (some with round-the-clock support)
- Regular tracking of progress
- Workout videos
- Some type of online workout calendar/journal
