Have you ever tried to lose weight?  If so, you know that one of the greatest challenges is adhering to a calorie- controlled program while still enjoying the good things in life.  A good imagination goes a long way also.  Why not put your experience to good use by creating menu plans for people seeking to reduce their weight?

This is an ideal business to run on the internet.  Do your research and put together a few basic menu plans for different daily calorie levels.  You may consider 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500 and so on.  Also include variations to cater for special dietary requirements such as vegetarianism, non-dairy etc..

You could set up your website to work like this.  Offer a free initial "consultation".  Create a form for your prospect to complete online.  Using your research as your guide, include such variables as height, current weight, sex, activity level etc..  Based on this information, your research will teach you what range your prospect's weight should fall within and how much he or she has to lose. If you figure that a safe weight loss occurs at the rate of 1lb per week, you will be able to calculate how few calories your prospect needs to consume to be able to shed weight at that rate.  Once you have identified that calorie level, forward a menu plan for that calorie level.

How you structure access to your service is something you will need to decide upon.  For example, you may decide on a monthly fee for access to your weekly menu plans.  You could also offer an add-on services such as workout routines and the like.  By publishing a regular newsletter you will be able to keep in touch with your existing and prospective clients and attract paid sponsorship.

And there is no need to restrict yourself to the weight- loss market.  How about people who struggle for ideas for everyday menu planning or dinner parties?
