DIET and NUTRITION
SparkPeople LIVE! is an online support group and motivational meeting tool. This service is different from what is typically available through SparkPeople. There is the added benefit of live interaction through video. You can gain support from other group members without ever leaving your house. This program focuses on the motivational meetings and does not cover a specific diet. There may be diet topics covered during some weeks of the meetings, but no particular foods are called out. For particular menu plans and meal ideas, SparkPeople.com offers that information.
EXERCISE
SparkPeople LIVE! does not outline a particular exercise routine. During your group meetings, you will be able to talk with other members and the topic of exercise may be discussed. There are just no specific workout plans outlined within the SparkPeople LIVE! platform. For a specific workout plan or exercise guide, SparkPeople.com is full of resources.
CONCLUSION
SparkPeople LIVE! offers you a great way to gain support from others that want to reach their weight loss goals in the privacy of your own home. You can attend a motivational meeting and online support group by simply turning on your computer and logging in for a class. Many weight programs offer meetings similar to this, but all of them require going to a physical meeting place and paying weekly fees. With SparkPeople LIVE! you pay monthly and the price is very affordable.
