Eating Free Launches Its 2011 New Year’s Weight Loss Challenge
SAN FRANCISCO, January 12, 2010 – The average American gains between one and 10 pounds over the holidays. For the third year in a row, in an effort to help men and women succeed with their weight loss resolutions, EatingFree.com will hold its New Year’s Weight Loss Challenge (WLC) from January 24th through April 17th, 2011. For a one-time $99 entry fee, participants will receive a support package valued at more than $600. The winner will receive a cash prize of one thousand dollars.
Eating Free creator Manuel Villacorta, MS, RD, CSSD has designed the WLC for those who are tired of old diet patterns that yield no results: eating too little, sweating too much, still not losing weight, and reluctantly being resigned to just “live with it.” For those who follow his lead, the weight is finally over!
On average, more than 80% of people who use Eating Free lose the weight and keep it off for more than a year. In past years, 100% of New Year’s Weight Loss Challenge participants who finished lost weight. The average was between 1.5 and 3 pounds per week, which represents healthy, sustainable weight loss.

EATING FREE: IT’S A LIFESTYLE, NOT A DIET!
Developed by American Dietetic Association national media spokesperson and award-winning registered dietitian Manuel Villacorta, Eating Free is based on the latest scientific information that allows people to eat more, exercise less, and still lose weight. Over the last six years, Eating Free has helped thousands of clients in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Japan, Israel, and Switzerland collectively lose tens of thousands of pounds while eating all the foods they love.
“As opposed to fad diets that strictly limit fats or carbs, Eating Free encourages people to eat items from all food groups—even cheeseburgers, desserts, and alcohol—but in proper portion sizes and in combinations that actually fuel weight loss,” said Villacorta.
The beauty of Eating Free is its simplicity: Using your desktop computer, laptop, handheld device, or Eating Free’s iPhone app (available at no charge online at the iTunes Store), you begin by completing a simple online questionnaire that generates a customized weekly (as opposed to daily) nutrition plan. Each day, you record your food consumption online using a simple series of drop-down menus; Eating Free guides you to make the right decisions for your meals and—if you overeat—auto-corrects your plan to ensure that you stay on track with weight
