What is FatSecret?

FatSecret is a new place for people interested in diets to come and find out what works. You can explore the site and take in a range of interesting and useful diet information or you can become a member and experience the power of the community help you make better dieting decisions. We think our features such as creating a personalized diet and finding recipes that are right for your diet are pretty special, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. FatSecret is your one-stop-shop for all things diet – the secret is out!

What we're about...

Trends in dieting seem to change with the season – one day you’re being told to eat bagels, the next, bacon. It all gets a little confusing. That’s where FatSecret comes in. As a helpful and vibrant community, FatSecret takes the feedback and collective experience of members and shares it around so everyone gets to see what really works and what may be useful to them. We are totally independent and try not to give recommendations but rather provide the tools and framework for the community to generate the answers to our diet questions - united we fall (the weight that is).

What we're not...

FatSecret is not like those other diet sites that promise free consultations, profiles, plans or advice and then try and push you into some paid product or ‘premium’ service. We are totally free and we very much aim to stay that way. Also, FatSecret is not affiliated, associated or in any way related to any of the diets or diet companies that are referenced on our site. We provide our general opinion on some aspects of these ‘popular’ diets but in no way endorse or support them or their programs – we’ll leave that to you. Finally, FatSecret is not a medical organization, and information and reports generated by us should not be interpreted as a substitute for medical advice or diagnosis. Some diets may not be suitable for some people and you are urged to seek the advice of a physician before beginning any weight loss effort or regimen.
