Welcome to Gaia! ::

On my cable program there is this On Demand menu. I was surfing through it to find more photography guides and discovered a health section. After watching every weight loss clip I went online to www.discoveryhealth.com

It's interesting, they have a challenge going on. When you sign up for it, you get customized meal plans, work out regimens, forums, and your BMI and weight are calculated and the meals form around how many calories you should stay around for weight loss.

It's pretty interesting so far, I love the recipies for the meals. They break it down from vegitarian to even kid sensible meals.

However the one thing I am not liking is you really don't get to choose your exercise programs (as far as I know yet) and although you get to customize your meals, you can't pick and choose what is in the meal (such as one breakfast comes with cereal, fruit, cup of fruit on the bottom yogurt, milk, and coffee with 1 tsp. milk). There is no way I would eat all that but it doesn't let you take it out.

But I think everyone should check this site out, if even for fun to register and play around. Although some things about it are a bit irritating, I've already gotten a wealth of knowledge and meal plans.

Yeah, that can be quite tough. I use the site now for mostly weight loss tips. But you do not have to follow it exactly, you can also try to just mimick the meals (like if they have spaghetti with blah blah blah, you can try using the calories of food that you don't have and add other things like peppers. Make sense?).

Yeah, it's the point of the healthy meals. Every diet makers hould know that not everyone is so rich to go out and make it exactly.


So how is it working for you?
