Does anyone have any info regarding signing up at a discount?

Also......how are there meal plan? I'm looking for some creative meals.

Thanks! Kathy

I signed up and choose EFL option. I have to admit I am disappointed. It's the

same meals

rotated over and over and nothing real exciting.

I'm kind of fond of eDiets. They do rotate the same meals, but there

are over 200 of them, not counting the 23 fast food restaurants you

can choose from. I joined eDiets mainly to steal menus. You can edit

and print and rearrange them endlessly. It's geeky good fun. You can

also narrow the menu variety way down to make it easier. If you want

to eat your cottage cheese and berries at 10:00am every day of the

week, you just check a box that says " change all mid-meal #1 to this

selection. " You can click that for any meal you want to be the same

every day. I also chose the convenience option with lots of frozen

entrees, lots of no-cook meals, and lots of restaurant options.

I don't actually follow the plan or use the grocery list though.

That's way too fussy for me. I just like having all those new menus,

recipes, and restaurant meals at my finger tips. If I find something

that looks really good I make sure to get the ingredients for it.

Like, ok, I'm going to try these 3 new meals this week. That's sane.

Trying to buy and prepare 36 new meals a week is a bobsled to the

loony bin. There's also a button that allows you to scale a recipe.

So, you could make four servings instead of one if you wanted to make

several meals out of the leftovers.

I've known several people who join, print lots of meals and recipes,

and then quit when their 4-week trial period is up. Then you have a

ton of new meal ideas and you're only out like $12. I don't think they

have any really spectacular discounts going right now. Here's a list

of the current offers: http://www.couponmountain.com/eDiets/index.html

Most of them are just for free profiles and stuff. Not sure if the 40%

off can be applied to the Eating for Life option or if it's only for

Dr. Phil. Possibly, you could join under the special offer and then

change your program to EFL. I seem to remember that they allow you to

change to a different program at any time. I'm half tempted to switch

it to The Zone, just because that 40/30/30 nutrition split is so close

to Eating for Life's 40/40/20. It would be a whole new set of meals

that could be easily modified just by making the protein portions a

little bigger.

Perhaps I am not using ediets to the full potential. I have printed out menus

and switched

plans though. You get lot of different ideas. But I have yet to find anything I

love. I will

revist and see if I am missing out.
