Editor's Verdict:

The Anne Collins diet program is one of the oldest and most respected diet programs in the US. The Anne Collins program is actually a varied diet program that combines nine individual diet plans, combining many of the most important elements of the major diets that have gained popularity in the past few years. Anne Collins is a qualified nutritionist and professional weight loss consultant with over 24 years experience in helping people to lose weight. Recommended by doctors, her diet program is reportedly used by tens of thousands of Americans, from Alaska to Hawaii, as well as dieters in over 20 different countries worldwide.

The Anne Collins diet system enables users to combine the best aspects of up to nine diet plans in order to achieve lasting and successful long term weight loss. For just $19.95 for a full twelve month subscription to the Anne Collins diet program, users get access to a healthy low-carb diet, a 'unique' low GI diet, a 10-minute meals diet, a low cholesterol diet, a 14-day low calorie 'booster' diet, a vegetarian quick-start diet, a no-nonsense balanced diet, a 'diet for life' and a vegetarian 'diet for life'. With all these diet plans, users definitely have the opportunity to tailor their own diet plan and fit the features of each diet around their lifestyles. The problem with this type of diet plan is that, with so many diets to choose from, users could definitely get overwhelmed by where to start with the Anne Collins diet program. Equally, we aren't convinced by the idea that users can combine elements of different diets to create a diet that suits them. By combining two diets that operate on totally different principles, dieters could actually gain weight as opposed to lose it. We simply find the whole diet plan provided by Anne Collins a little confusing!

The confusion factor is only one aspect of what makes Anne Collins a little difficult to use, even if it is particularly cheap to sign up. The Anne Collins website is one of the most difficult websites to navigate that we have ever come across. Not only that, it's also incredibly amateurish in appearance and looks like it has not been updated in a number of years. The site even boasts a number of 'cheesy infomercial' style catchphrases, such as 'WARNING: Please don't waste your time reading any further if you are not truly committed to losing your excess weight and revitalizing your life', which altogether make the site appear faddy and not particularly professional. The site does include an active community forum, but even this is difficult to use, and so we sadly weren't impressed with what Anne Collins had to offer.

AnneCollins.com falls short of our top ranked sites in several ways. The website structure is not user friendly - there are too many distracting adverts and the simplistic design is dull and uninspiring. The site contains no sample workout demos, message boards, recipes, nor tracking tools so one cannot really assess the quality of the site without signing up for a 12-month membership. That said, the membership fee is extremely low at just $19.97 per year, and the site comes complete with a complete money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
