"Lose 10 lbs. By X Date!!!" |
CaloriesCount.com:
CaloriesCount.com will not promote its services by making unsupportable claims
that you will lose weight in a set amount of time. You've seen the ads - "Lose
10 lbs. By Such & Such Date" (usually 6 weeks out). That's like saying
you will gain 10% on your stock investment this year. Hey, it's certainly very
possible, but guaranteed? We make no such false promises. Successful, healthy weight
loss is complex and is based on many factors. Ultimately, reaching your goal depends
on you. There is no such thing as a quick fix. CaloriesCount.com is about lifestyle
changes. Weight is usually gained gradually and it takes sensible, gradual changes
to lose it and keep it off. What we do promise is that we will provide proven
tools, information and support to dramatically improve your chances of success. |

Weight management tips and advice that have not undergone careful scientific and
medical review. |

All the information and tools provided by CaloriesCount.com conform to safe acceptable
weight management guidelines that are entirely consistent with the national coalition
of Partners for Healthy Weight Management (spearheaded by the National Institutes
of Health and Federal Trade Commission) as well as respected national health/medical
groups. |

Membership renewal fees that renew automatically, without your explicit permission. |
CaloriesCount.com:
We offer 6-month and lifetime memberships at this time, and the individual
must renew when their membership expires. We do not take your credit card and
start automatic billing "unless we hear from you" - as some others do. |

Some
of the Others:
Up to $99 for a one-year membership plan. |
CaloriesCount.com:
Our membership fees are $25 for a 6-month plan ($4.17/month) or $45 for a lifetime of health. So, keeping with our promise to make our online weight management
and healthy living services AFFORDABLE, CaloriesCount.com is up to 50 percent
less than most similar sites. Some sites charge 3 to 4 times more than we
do, and some even charge extra for an exercise component (ours is included). For almost half of what other sites charge for a one-year membership, you can have a lifetime of health for just $45. |

Go to their Web site and get hit with an in-your-face advertisement covering the
page you're reading. |
CaloriesCount.com:
You won't find any annoying pop-up ads on CaloriesCount.com. Our sponsors are
interested in supporting the public health mission to fight the obesity epidemic
in a non-commercial way. And CaloriesCount.com is committed to remaining non-profit
- we will only charge the minimum amount necessary to cover expenses. Excess revenues
will be used to enhance and expand the site's services to its members. |

Selling your membership data to outsiders. |
