Anne Collins - worth the money?
 

I've just stumbled across a page from a diet/nutritionist called Anne Collins, seems to be UK based. For $20 (one time fee) she gives individual advice on a chosen diet plan, her choices include lo-carb. Her site came recommended from the Diet Review.

Does anyeone have any experience with her work? Is it worth the money - small though it may be? I did a search on "Anne Collins" here in our forums and didn't get a single hit.

Well, Matty, I think your money is better spent on a nice big roast or something. What can she do online that you can't do for yourself?
Often the $20 is just the tip of the iceberg. They will tell you a little bit, then say stuff like "My carb guide newsletters is only $15, and my Guide to Fat Flushing is $25, and this incredible supplement is only $50."
You seem to be doing well now. I'd forget about it.

I looked into her plan...and it is not truly low-carb...more based on healthy lifestyle. Her website (which has forums which I have visited) have a whole bunch of plans/topics to discuss. I would save my money...and just stick with a plan that you can live with. I have tried many plans out there - Atkins, Cad, Protein Power, SOuth Beach, Weight Watchers, Richard Simmons, my own LC version.....I found that for me, the Atkins Plan works the best. Granted, you may benefit from another plan. The whole idea of any diet plan is to be able to satisfy your hunger, curb your cravings, and of course, allow your weight to drop. If any plan does not match these three things...than it obviously is not the plan for you. Sometimes the only way you know, is by trying them out.

Thanks for your input - I'm always leary of people selling things on the web (or anywhere for that matter).

adkpam - I did a double take at your comment about "doing well now" and looked at my stats. Oh my heavens - I really can't type, can I? But those numbers sure looked good for a while.
