They have blogs, message board, chat and a unique "find-a-friend" system that helps you connect with people just like yourself. Social support is critically important to long-term dieting success.

DietWatch doesn't just force you to do one specific diet. You are given 4 options to choose from: reduced carb, Mediterranean, vegetarian and even a No Restrictions plan is available.

The reduced carbohydrate plan limits carb intake to 40%. This is not as severe at the Atkins-style diets (which limit carbs to almost zero). You can still eat carbs, just not too much. And, your body will not got into ketosis.

The Mediterranean plan is a heart-healthy diet that's targeted for people who are looking for a healthier cardiovascular system. An emphasis is put on using healthy fats (like olive oil) and moving away from unhealthy fats (like fried food).

The vegetarian plan is a lacto-ovo vegetarian plan (eggs and dairy are allowed, it's not as strict as some veggie diets). But, you will not eat meat of any kind. Soy and other meat substitutes are used.

The no restrictions plan is just what it sounds like. While the other plans eliminate certain foods, this one does not and instead just focuses on moderation and maintaining a healthy weight.
