Participant who turned to internet dieting dropped the same amount as those who met with counselors over 18 months, making it just as effective. Of course, all online weight loss programs are not created equal. There are things you should look for before joining a program. For starters, find out if the plan was created by a licensed professional, preferably a registered dietitian. Look for programs that have different approaches to weight loss that fit your needs, whether it's vegetarian, high-fiber or something else. Avoid fad diets or quick fixes with expensive must-have products. Before starting any weight loss program, speak with your doctor.

The bottom line is to do your research and find out as much as you can before joining a program.
