What About Costs?

eDiets offers a flat rate ($4.49 per week) that includes both diet plan and a fitness plan. These are both personalized and offer a high level of support (eDiets previously billed these items separately).

If you choose their meal delivery service the cost ranges from $100 to $140 depending on level of service chosen.

Any Complaints?

  • There is a cancellation fee if you cancel early.
  • The sheer number of diet plans they offer can seem bewildering. If you're confused - just stick to the straight eDiets plan.
  • 2008 - eDiets has undergone a major re-design of their site. This has resulted in a number of technical problems and complaints about customer service. eDiets have assured us that all the problems will be fixed in due course.
  • June 2008: eDiets technical issues have been resolved. Customers should expect good service.
  • Jan 2009: eDiets surge in popularity and their Meal Delivery service becomes very popular.
