"At the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, we evaluated eight fitness websites and 7 diet sites. While some of these sites may charge a minimal fee for their memberships, others charged thousands of dollars for yearly subscriptions," said Charmaine Gillespie, Good Housekeeping Institute.
Good Housekeeping reviewed those sites to see which ones provide the best value for your money. The testers did somersaults over the fitness site, www.deniseaustin.com. They liked the layout of the site, along with the diet tips, menu suggestions and weekly e-mails.
Weighing in as the best diet site - www.southbeach.com.
"Their program was science-based. It was easy to use. The menus were inspiring and included a daily dessert and snacks. The members can pay three dollars a week, and get additional one-on-one support from a dietician," said Samantha Cassetty, Good Housekeeping Institute.
Another notable includes the free web site, www.sparkpeople.com. It has a customizable meal plan that lets you enter special health requests like low sodium foods.
