the plan
tescodiets.com is an online programme that promotes safe and natural weight loss supervised by a team of professionals.

It includes a wide variety of established weight-loss methods to help you lose an average of two pounds a week. You start by selecting a personalised plan, and can choose from diets such as the GI diet, the Mediterranean diet, a low-carb diet or a vegetarian diet. You then receive customised shopping lists, participate in online chats with health professionals such as physicians, counsellors and dieticians and receive daily email tips and guidance.

pros
It is convenient and personalised.
It is likely to suit those who prefer to be private and can't face more public group sessions.
You can join whenever you like and ask questions of other members as well as the online professionals.
You can receive support without the hassle of fitting yet another meeting into your schedule.
This programme's focus is on realistic, healthy changes that lead to long-term weight maintenance.
For those with specific health concerns you can also select diets such as cholesterol-lowering, diabetic diets or dairy free or gluten free diets.

cons
Some people may miss the face-to-face contact that is part of other programmes.
A long-term commitment to exercise and eating changes is encouraged, so if you're looking to drop a quick 10 pounds, this plan isn't for you.
If your Internet connection fails, you're locked out of cyberspace.

the pros say
For those who need support but don't like the idea of going to meetings, or who don't have the time to go to meetings, this approach could be ideal. Sensible advice is on offer and it could work where other approaches don't.
