"I need a answer to a couple of questions:  

• First how do you diet when you don't have the right food in the house? I know you going to say when you shop buy all the right things. that's not easy when you have limited funds.  You try and figure out - do I pay the phone or electric - or do I buy foods so I can lose weight? 
  
• Can you give me an alternative?
    
• I have been very successful in losing weight but now that I am on a limited budget I am gaining all my weight back.  I am very depressed and not happy. 
  It took me too long to lose the weight the first time and know it is coming back on. I was doing well on Weight Watchers and I think it is a good program but how do you stay on the program if you can't afford to buy the right foods?"
  

Dear Mrs. M:
From our perspective you are on a "diet" and of course the "right" foods you are referring to on Weight Watchers or other programs are typically cost prohibitive - especially for long-term weight management and especially if you are on a limited budget.  My recommendations as a customer service rep for Personal Dietitian is that you need a diet plan and you should probably stay away from those offering "short-term" diets. The Personal Diet and other diets offered by dietitians offer individuals a long term solution for their weight loss and weight management.  Dietitians approaches are more practical than the approaches taken by the commercial diet industry.  Dietitians are health care professionals - not profiteers like much of the diet industry so their interest in your weight loss success and health is based upon your personal needs not their own pocketbooks or the "bottom line".

I believe our dietitian's program is a great value for anyone. It is quite affordable and I believe it would suit your needs quite well. The diet plans our chief dietitian will provide you - is, as I mentioned specific to your needs. A custom approach like this is not the case for Weight Watchers or for that matter is not provided by other commercial diets out there -probably because it is not cost effective for big business.  The Personal Diet our experts provides teaches you how to lose weight but more importantly the "Right-on-Track" weight loss and diet program will teach you how to control your weight for the long-term. ("Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime".)  The dietitian's weekly support and the personal support by themselves is worth substantially more than we currently charge. Since you can use economical foods (or any foods) available at your local grocery store I'm sure you'll find our program a much better value for your needs. 

I hope you weren't asking for the dietitian's help and that my answer can help you.  Our experts can no longer answer questions except for our members. If you want to learn more about our diet or need general information regarding diet, weight loss, nutrition and health from our dietitian's perspective please refer to our site's free resource pages.  If the resources on our site do not meet your needs we also recommend another dietitian's site: Joanne Larson's site AsktheDietitian.com
