The Internet is replete with sites offering to take all the brainwork out of providing you with comprehensive, interesting and balanced grocery shopping lists and meal regimes. And then helping you to shop for the ingredients, prepare the meal, monitor your health progress - and post photos of your successes online for you and the world to enjoy. High school home skills teachers would cry, but the reality of today's hectic First World is that many people have neither the time nor the interest to prepare grocery shopping lists and meals 'the way their mother did'. They therefore neglect their body's demands or punish their entire metabolic systems. Often while furiously working out or painting on cosmetics to fight off the ravages of their lifestyles. Here are a few sites offering remarkably comprehensive food planning, grocery shopping printable lists and management systems: Change One Each is a little different, but they all provide forms for an initial free assessment of your needs and an outline of what you can do about it. The South Beach Diet site is typical. You just enter a few basics like your goals, start-date, and food preferences. Then they create a personal meal plan, customize your online dieting tools, and give you access to a forum where you can share your experiences with fellow members. The Meal Planner suggests new and delicious meals each day, and also allows you to produce grocery shopping lists and recipes, search for more recipes, favorites, and vegetarian meals. Food Guides for cooking, shopping, and eating are also common, and some even provide tips on eating out - the time so many free diet plans meet the biggest challenge of all. The Heart Center's program is designed with heart health in mind. It's a complete system, including flexible meal plans, custom exercise programs, stress management and a resource center. Personal Magnetism and Grocery Shopping Lists Diet bases its programs on your personality. You do a quick test to figure whether you're a meal skipper, a convenient diner, a steady snacker or an emotional eater, and then your strategies, meal planning and buddies are assembled for you. Dr Weil's is also a comprehensive 8-week plan. You determine your personal goals - from eat better, reduce stress, age well, or prevent and lessen your risk of disease. The program then designs your own meal plan based on food preferences and allergy alerts, tracks your weight and logs your progress with its unique online tools. At Cafeslim, you tell them about your lifestyle and choose from over 50 food options. They devise a nutritionally balanced program tailored for you. This British program also includes interactive meal planners and recipes, dynamic grocery shopping lists, treats, progress trackers and a 'secret diary'. Complementary fitness programs designed to help you tone up as you slim down are also included. How do you define success? DietWatch's Planner adapts to you rather than the other way around. It is so flexible that you can follow their healthy meal plans or follow your own diet, whether you choose Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Atkins diet, The Zone diet, low blood sugar or any other brand. No matter what diet you're on, they cater to your needs. As the site says: "A successful diet is one that shows you how to eat for the rest of your life. It starts with good healthy food that brings you closer to your goal with each bite." ChangeOne is the Readers Digest site. It differs from the others in that it makes one change to your habits each week. Week 1, all you have to do is eat a healthy breakfast. Week 2 you change lunch, Week 3 snacks, and Week 4 you revisit dinner. Like the others, it includes meal planning, food recipes, interactive tools and a community. eDiets also gives a free diet plans analysis, and provides a personalized diet meal plan, grocery shopping lists and online management tools.

Then check out the actual program and costs. There's bound to be one that fits you!
