The Freedom Weight Loss site promotes a program created by Dr. Carlos Canale, which is especially suited for people with hectic schedules allowing no time for exercise. The program incorporates a variety of online tools and home use products.

The website provides in-depth nutrition information and many recipes. To be able to get a complete program or menu plan on nutrition, interested dieters should first purchase the corresponding video or audio CD.

The website also has a fitness section which is mostly about the role of exercise in weight loss. It does not offer suggestions or advice as to how to go about doing it. Of course, fitness advice from an online source may not be the best a dieter can get. Although there are videos and CDs on exercise, beginners may be better off working with an in-person personal trainer.

The dieters are provided with different types of weight loss calculators including one which counts calories; a Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator which indicates whether one is overweight or not; a weight maintenance calculator which computes how many calories a dieter needs to eat to maintain his present weight; and a calories burned feature.

Although the website provides a lot of nutrition and fitness information which dieters may find useful, those who want to create the Freedom Weight Loss program may have to purchase the books, DVDs, video and audio CDs which are available from the site.

The price range for each DVD, CD and book is about $36-$40 thus, dieters who would like to follow the complete program will have to pay a fairly expensive price. Buying several of the programs would easily total to well over $100.

Positives

• Website is accessible
• Website access is free

Negatives

• Does not provide ways to suppress the appetite
• Online advice is quite limited
• No cited research (as of review)

With the increased awareness of the direct link between weight gain and obesity to serious health risks, we appreciate that this website strongly emphasizes the need to manage one’s weight. The program the Freedom Weight Loss site offers is based on the classic and proven combination of regular exercise and a healthy diet, thus dieters would most likely experience weight loss results.

We would like to note however, that weight loss created by following a complete weight loss program can be enhanced with proper supplementation. Dieters who wish to find out more may want to research on the ingredient Advantra-Z® which is a non-stimulant patented fat burner.
