FatSecret.com - The Secret is Out

FatSecret is a weight loss tool that´s completely free and with a different layout than other dieting sites. As opposed to sites that are available for people who are trying to either gain, stay the same, or lose weight, this site is only about dieting. It gives you a bunch of information on the various diets out there, what people think about them, how much they´ve lost recently on those diets, and what their opinions of those diets are. You can even create your own diet for others to start following. Each diet has its own recipe section, tips section, journal group, and various other community items. It´s all about the information that people who have been on these diets have accumulated and helping them to lose the weight the best way for them and with the most resources as possible.

“fatsecret evolved from the idea that the most abundant and highly valuable source of information on diet, nutrition and weight management is the sum of the views, performances, achievements and recommendations of individuals that make up the broader community. We"ve tried to create an easy to use system that gathers, stores and sorts the input of members of the fatsecret community to provide quality information and useful recommendations so that we can all benefit.

It´s totally free and they´re not pushing ads or premium membership in an annoying way, so more users will enjoy participating. The site is well done and brings features, such as comparisons of all the various diet plans out there, that other sites don´t use. They can make a profit in a tasteful way, such as with the selling of books from Amazon, and others in that same line.

Will they add a fitness section? How will they make the community more interactive with each other? What are some ways they are planning on making a profit? How will they compete with the crowded market of dieting sites out there?
