Bob Greene's 'Get With the Program!' Now Available at eDiets

Oprah's Personal Trainer Partners With eDiets.com to Help Consumers Get Real About Their Health, Weight and Emotional Well-Being

eDiets, the leading online diet and healthy living destination, today announced that a personalized online version of Bob Greene's "Get With the Program!" is exclusively available through the company's award-winning Web site, www.eDiets.com. Through eDiets.com, Bob Greene, Oprah's personal trainer and best-selling author of "Get With the Program!," "The Get With the Program! Guide to Good Eating" and "Make the Connection," is offering consumers two custom tailored fitness regimens: "Basic Training," an entry level 12-week plan for fitness novices, and "Stay With the Program," an ongoing maintenance program of advanced strength training and aerobics. Each program has a special focus on eliminating emotional eating through self-discovery and fine-tuning of eating behaviors. As a complete and balanced weight management solution, eDiets.com's personalized online version of "Get With the Program!" allows members to include a meal plan by selecting from among its 17 available personalized online nutrition plans, including the Atkins Nutritional Approach™, The Zone Diet, and the Slim·Fast® Plan. Each meal plan is custom-tailored to meet each individual's dietary needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

"Through this dynamic online format, not only will members get customized fitness programs that will teach them how to exercise the 'right way' in the comfort and convenience of their own homes, they will also get sound, common-sense advice on how to achieve a healthy body through a combination of fitness, nutrition and emotional well-being," said Bob Greene. "A National Institute of Health study on a combined therapy of diet and physical activity concluded that 'the combination of a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity is recommended, since it produces weight loss, decreases abdominal fat, and increases cardiorespiratory fitness.' eDiets.com's 'Get With the Program!' members will be given a full range of tools, information and support to help them achieve a lifetime of activity and good health."

eDiets.com's personalized online version of Bob Greene's "Basic Training" methodically guides each individual member's gradual progression through a 12-week regimen. Unlike other fitness programs that often intimidate fitness novices with their complexity, this is a completely customized, self-paced program that can be easily followed at home or in a gym, and features a variety of cardiovascular and strength-training exercises complete with 3-D animated instruction and detailed descriptions to assist members with proper form and technique. To assure program flexibility, eDiets.com's injury and health assessment profile allows for exercise substitutions to accommodate any specific injuries or other physical limitations a member may have.

Also unique to eDiets.com's personalized online version of Bob Greene's "Get With the Program!," members will receive ongoing support and motivation through a dedicated online support group that is moderated by eDiets.com's personal trainers and psychologists. Members can also attend relevant online meetings and engage in real-time chats with member peers.

"Often overlooked keys to successful weight management are strength and perseverance of attitude and mind," said Dr. John Sklare, eDiets.com's director of emotional support. "Thoughts are powerful tools that impact one's attitude, health and body, which all respond to how and what we believe about ourselves. Accordingly, changes needed to succeed at weight management must first be made from the neck up. Bob Greene's 'Get With the Program!,' with a meal plan personalized by eDiets.com and in combination with our vast support services, will help program members do just that."

"In keeping with our strategy of aligning ourselves with innovative health solutions and adapting them for online consumers using our proprietary personalization technology, Bob Greene's highly successful program is a natural fit," said David Humble, CEO of eDiets.com. "Through this partnership, our members now benefit from convenient access to a customized online version of this highly regarded fitness plan offered in combination with a personalized nutrition plan and our comprehensive support community."
