FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- eDiets.com, Inc. , a leading provider of personalized nutrition, fitness and weight-loss programs, today announced their partnership with national health and wellness expert Jillian Michaels of NBC's The Biggest Loser and Waterfront Media, the largest privately held online health company and operator of Jillian Michaels Online. The new program, powered by eDiets, distributes a co-branded meal plan for in-home delivery, called The Jillian Michaels Meal Delivery Plan. It is a comprehensive weight-loss program that features premium quality, freshly prepared meals and snacks in calorie-smart portions.

"Jillian is a beacon to those who are motivated to get into shape and live a healthier lifestyle," says eDiets.com President and Chief Executive Officer, Steve Rattner. "She has inspired millions of viewers with her tough love approach to getting fit and her high standards for healthy living and wellness are a natural fit with eDiets and Waterfront Medias' missions. This is a balanced partnership based on mutual philosophies and we're eager to grow it."

"I couldn't be more excited and proud of the program that eDiets and I have created," says Michaels. "They share my passion to provide people with powerful and cost effective solutions for living a happier healthier life."

The Jillian Michaels Meal Plan will feature more than 50 great-tasting, freshly prepared, no added preservatives, zero trans-fat, chef-created meals. All servings, which will consist of breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack for each day, will make up the 7-day plan and will be packaged in an advanced "chill-fresh" cooler shipped directly to consumers homes via Federal-Express. The plan will cost $19.95 per day plus shipping and handling. When the program becomes available in June, consumers can either order online at www.jillianmichaels.com, or by calling customer service toll-free at: 1.866.756.4084.

To launch her new meal delivery plan, Jillian will be the lead guest-speaker at the eDiets Live! event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday, June 7, 2008, where she will bring her strength-training secrets to attendees first-hand!
