Your Questions About Nutrition Website
Lizzie asks…
Im starting a health/nutrition website. What would you want to see on a site like this?
I am starting a health/diet/nutrition/weight loss/exercise/etc website, because obesity is a growing problem in America and I want to help. I am a Biology major at Boston College and understand some of the biological aspects of nutrition and gaining fat. I have some ideas of what to put on the site, but if you were going to a website like this to try and lose weight/get in shape, what would you want? What would you want information on? Weight loss plans? Nutritional label reading guide? Incentives for losing weight? More information on metabolism and fat? Consequences of eating unhealthy food? Please give me any ideas that you have, and let me know if you think this would be a successful website.

1. Which weight loss supplements work, which don’t, and why
2. Which major advertised weight loss plans work, which don’t, and why
3. Shopping lists and menus/recipes for a weight loss plan that works
4. Skip the ‘how to read a nutrition label’ stuff. It’s available everywhere.
5. Section debunking common myths
6. Exercise section with SPECIFICS. Include simple exercises (e.g., sit ups, push ups, jogging, walking) that people with ZERO equipment and/or gym access can do
7. Section addressing the dangers of eating disorders
8. A “community” section where weight-loss “buddies” can connect and encourage one another
9. “Blog” section where those using your plans can log their progress.
Michael asks…
Any one know of canada nutrition website?
I have been going to the website dietfacts.com and looking up weight watchers points (which is the unofficial points on the nutrition label) which i find very useful. Does anyone know of a canadian website like that?
this website tells you the nutritional info of chain restaurants as well as the points for meals. I just want to be prepared when i got out to eat.

Free diet profile.Calorie listings. Being able to track your weight loss progress. Where your weigh is at as oppose to where you want it to be at. What you should weigh, not just by your height but by your build as well. Most sites are not realistic when it comes to that they assume how much people should weigh just by their height. Someone who has a large build and is 5’9 shouldn’t weigh as little as a person with a small build who is 5’9 and vis versa. It should be based on height and body build as well as muscle mass. That would be the main thing I’d like to do especially as an improvement to sites like thats.
